Two things: Minnesota just changed its flag this year, hence its modern and now 100% less racist design. I'd put it first, but it looks (albeit fittingly) a bit too much like a minor league hockey jersey and New Mexico's just screams the land is enchanting.
And you'd like these episodes of 99% Invisible on bad flag design and the host's TED Talk (embedded in the second).
As a proud Coloradoan, you are welcome (and agree.). Solid assessments.
what did I just read?
It’s a ranking of state flags. Was that not clear?
Oh it's Clear. Crystal. But I don't see anything about football and golf. I assume this is an oversight that won't happen again.
Noted!

Will check out those pods - and yeah a lot of states have changed their flags recently for the same reasons. Sad it took this long …
