Texas was inspired by the Republic of the Rio Grande's flag. I'm not sure what Chile's was inspired by, but both deliberately decided to use "USA colours" independently of each other.

A lot of these states didn't have flags until the late 1800's, and I think they made them quickly to put them on official stamps or something like that? So a lot of states haven't felt the need to change theirs in decades, as doing so takes time, effort and money.

Dont know actually, but i did find a video saying “Rhode Island’s flag is actually illegal, it actually needs to be rectangular for it to be legal” then there was a part where there were some flags on a shopping app that had a yellow outline (of course they were rectangular, but the same placement as the flag you see now)

Minnesota’s flag is awful. It’s very monochromatic with blues/greens. The lines on the flag are all straight. It’s very jarring, especially juxtaposed with the other flags, most of which are colorful and flowing. Then there is boxy, bland Minnesota. Just sticks out, and not in a good way.

I disagree with some of your reasoning, but I do agree that I do not like Minnesota's new flag. It's not a bad flag mind you, generally good flag design. My problem is that it looks more befitting of a city flag than it does a state flag. It lacks any personality and charm that the other state flags have, including Utah and Mississippi's new flags which do capture that essence while also improving the flag.

I agree with this, but disagree with the Minnesota bit. Utah & Mississippi have excellent distinctive flags now, but Minnesota's is so bland and corporate. Kinda works in a way given how many big companies are from the Twin Cities (like 3M which technically stands for "Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company")

I'm from Texas & am blessed to have a state with a lovely flag. Those darn North Carolinians copied ours 50 years after us!

I don't like the current iteration of the Minnesota flag either. Why'd they get rid of the one with green and white? That one was so much better! It would've been a top 10 US flag for sure, but they just had to make it bland smh >:(

And yeah Texas' flag is iconic, but imo the best one has to go to New Mexico. Maryland is a close second. The fact that both of them don't have the color blue is not a coincidence ;)

I somewhat disagree. Minnesota's is so corporate and soulless IMO. It looks like it's trying to be a Geometry Dash icon or a gas station!

the actual redesign for Minnesota that someone submitted was good. the state modified it before making it the official flag tho so it's a lot more basic. previously it had a tricolor with colors symbolizing the snow, fields, and lakes, instead of a plain light blue field.

it's still better, though, because it makes the flag distinctive (no more seal on blue) and easy to draw.
