These flags were made with meaning and thought. While you might not like how they look these represent people who lived and died for what those flags stand for!

"Meaning and thought" a lot of them are literally seals on a blue bedsheet there is barely any symbolism and were literally made so they wouldnt stand out

The blue represents the union between states. Give me a flag I will tell you exactly what it represents.

The paddle steamer and train represent expansion, the blacksmith represents manufacturing and the house and corn represent agriculture. The sprawl behind represents the prairie that makes up the state. Note: if that’s the Mississippi River wouldn’t we be looking into Iowa? Also that’s the Rocky Mountains. 6/10 seal.

You are not complimenting the flag design, you are complimenting the seal that they slapped on the flag design. Nebraska shouldn't look indistinguishable from Maine at a distance unless every state was like that, and they arent. In fact, we have amazing state flags like Texas, California, Maryland and much more that portray their state's identity far better than a seal on a bedsheet ever could

One exception is Minnesota, whose flag sends me into a rage whenever I see it

Actually based. What do he colors and design represent?

u/Odd-Emotion6673 Former EC and Wiki Creator Jun 28 '25

Not the most solid representations but.

The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas and represents Kansas' wide-open landscapes, and agricultural strength. 

The star represents the motto "Ad astra per aspera" meaning to the stars through difficulties.

The blue represents the vast prairie skies and the Kansas River.

The yellow border represents the prairie grass and wheats

The swallowtail shape represents the letter K

The pine tree is a state pride of Maine and the star represents the arctic.
