Reply to comment by freeski919 in I think the Maine flag looks nice, what do y’all think? by Woodworking33

To each their own I suppose, I like the current one more than this old one.

Why? It's a blue flag with the state seal in the middle. Tell me, if you glanced at a row of state flags quickly, could you pick out the Maine flag from New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, or any other number of state flags which are a seal on a blue bedsheet?

Of course you couldn't. Because the design is garbage. Flags should be simple and distinctive. Our current flag fails at both.

There is no need to downvote me and be upset about it. Everyone has different preferences and likes. I personally don't really care if our flag stands out from others. I like the blue, and I like the design of the seal, so it being our flag doesn't bother me at all. Also, as long as the print of the flag wasn't tiny, I could pick ours out because I know what the design is. Lol Again, to each their own. I'm not hating that you like the old one more, just simply stating that I like the current one just fine.

The current flag is distinctly unique in the sense it is the only state flag (to my knowledge) that has a guy with bare feet/toes in it! Love it or hate it, that’s gotta give it some kudos points.

I like the current one because it actually shows what Maine is all about. Men representing the sea and the land, a moose, pine trees, and our motto Dirigo. I absolutely can pick it our from other state flags of that style.

If you cannot pick out the Maine flag from the others, maybe learn a bit about what it means.
