I didn't know about that one. It looks good. What momentum does it have?

It has a ton of opposition too. I actually bought that flag during the Kickstarter campaign. I posted it on Reddit and it got a LOT of hate and the most common sentiment was, "our current flag is fine/better."

I think the flag change (which NEEDS to happen) is an uphill battle and that hill is Tahoma.

That's the original designer prior to his Kickstarter campaign.

Here's my post. I just realized I posted it to the vexillology sub not the Washington. So I shouldn't have read into the critique as much if they aren't actually Washingtonians.

(PS I am a fellow transplant. Welcome to the region! If you're interested in flag redesigns check out Maine's current flag and popular choice to replace it!)

Preach.

Personally I think we should add some gold to represent our bread basket in the east, but I get how people would wanna stick with the more restricted color scheme for aesthetics

Edit: I guess the light blue is the skies if E WA, so ok.

Yeah. I was enlightened to see the new flag design isn't perfect (if that's even possible). But I think if anything is an excellent step forward to getting rid of the seal on a bed spread.

I'd love to see some gold on the flag. Why not?

Picked it up at the Kickstarter too! Flying it on my house as we speak. I remember there being a lot of hate for it too, but I like it so meh, whatever.
