    They had many decent (non meme) proposals. Even the proposal this is based on wasn’t horrible, although it wasn’t the best. But then they decided to remove the tricolor and just make it a completely plain background. Why?

      The original proposal, for reference

      Yeah, making the right section a solid color completely throws off the balance of the flag, and you lose the symbolism of snow, forests, and water. Kinda baffling, but I guess that’s the problem with design by committee–you end up with something just bland enough to pass a vote.

      Still leagues better than the state emblem slapped on a blue background, so it’s progress I suppose
