As a proud resident of Minnesota, I have always felt a connection to the new state flag. The original Polaris tricolor design was more than just a flag; it was an embodiment of our unique identity and spirit. It showcased three distinct colors that represented the diverse landscapes and cultures within our great state. However, the recent redesign has stripped away this vibrancy, leaving us with a bland version that lacks soul and character.

The new design is too simplistic - two shades of blue with a star that has lost its distinctive edges. It feels corporate rather than representative, lacking the warmth and homeliness I associated with the colors of the original Polaris flag. This change not only affects how we perceive ourselves but also how others see us.


It is crucial for us to preserve what makes Minnesota special. Let's bring back the original Polaris tricolor flag – let's bring back our identity! Please sign this petition to show your support for restoring our beloved symbol.
