So, which potential Mississippi Flag do you guys like best?

[SKKY]

What should Mississippi's new state flag look like? Voters in November will have the chance to choose a design that best represents the identity of the Magnolia state, following the retirement of their state flag.

I like #1 (Dante Johnson), #3 (Reshonda Perryman), and #4 (Qin Mobley). In that order.

1. I love #2 Martea

3. I'd say #3

They're all good and, of course, vast improvements.

4. I'm not a Mississippian myself, but

I like #1, #2, and #4. They're attractive designs and they all break away from the 1894 flag design as well as the one Mississippi used during the War of Southern Rebellion.

5. #1 Johnson, magnolia, & #2 Martea, mockingbirds.

Outstanding collection!

6. I like Dante Johnson's flag

The second would be the bird one.

I'm not in Mississippi

But here's my 2¢

[Silent3]

7. Nothing with "In God We Trust"

Fuck that theocratic shit.

[hlthe2b]

15. Didn't the moronic Governor say it "HAD" to include the phrase?

I agree. This is not a flag for a church, but a flag for the entire state--areligious, agnostic, and non-Christian religions alike

8. I like the first two

#1 is very traditional for a flag. I like it a lot.

#2 though is very unique. Outside the box and I think it stands out a lot. Would be a nice thing to try!

9. Dante Johnson's design is exceptional!!

not a Mississippian but Dante gets my vote (and please Mississippi, keep "in god we trust" off the flag)

...the state flower, the magnolia, as the centerpiece, and his concept looks to unite his home state....
In his flag, "the seeds in the center star represent the youth that hold the future in their hands," he explained. Olive branches, symbolizing peace, cradle the central elements. "These olive branches represent an era of change, something that attempts to symbolize bridging the divide that is so strongly present in Mississippi."

10. The Johnson one.

[underpants]

11. None. Too complicated

Of the choices I’d say the one with the flower in the middle.

[Mossfern]

16. Agree

[intheflow]

17. There are two with magnolia blossoms in the center.

[nolabear]

12. Hey, there's a Gulfport and a Moss Point there!

They’re about 30 miles apart and right where I grew up on the coast.

I’d pick 1 but I’d bet money MS would pick “In God We Trust” if any of them. I’m hoping for the old magnolia one. It’s traditional enough, genteel enough and people are attached to it.

13. I like #1 the best.

Not too crazy about the others.

[panader0]

14. Of those choices I'd pick the Dante design.

But I'd like one with Mississippi John Hurt.

[LakeArenal]

18. Mobley

[Chainfire]

19. I don't like any of the three

They are too busy.

[Retrograde]

20. #1 is the least bad IMHO

although somewhat busy, but please, can a state do some colors other than red, white, and blue? Green, white, and yellow for example.

And please stay away from stars and bars - even if you change the shape a bit (or a lot).

My husband, who lived in Mississippi as a child, says bring back the magnolia flag.

21. CNN's game, but fun. I like #2, and #1. Modern technology

means a flag with a flight of birds flying into a sun could be produced in high quality at low cost. And I like the old-fashioned note of #2 with the magnolia blossom; although it looks more like a camellia to me, that's okay since camellias are all over MS too.

The bold graphic ones remind me of cheerleader outfits. And, again, no need to stick to designs that were easily replicable with old technology.

The last, no religious reference please. I'm part of "we" and don't trust in anyone's god. Don't want to design a flag TO be redesigned all over again a decade from now.

22. #3 Reshonda Perryman nt
