Minnesota Flag Redesign
In 2022, Minnesota embarked on a journey to redesign its state flag, inviting the public to contribute their creativity. This redesign was driven by a desire to move away from the colonial imagery present in the previous flag. The response was overwhelming, with over 2,100 unique designs submitted. The chosen design was based on a submission by Andrew Prekker. His design stood out for its distinctive star shape. This new state flag becomes official on May 11, 2024.
The New Minnesota Flag Meaning
The left side of the flag features a dark blue field, an elegant nod to Minnesota's geographic outline. The light blue stripe symbolizes the state's rich abundance of lakes, reflecting Minnesota's natural beauty and its nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes."
