Mississippi has unveiled a new state flag design that will be put to a public vote in November, after the old banner was retired because it included the Confederate battle emblem.

The new flag features a magnolia flower, and was the result of a two-month challenge to find a replacement, which saw 3,000 suggestions submitted by the public.

The old flag was officially retired on June 30.

Should have used a butterfly, to indicate a liberal’s lightweight nature.

[Gen.Blather]

Now there’s a flag people without allergies can rally around!

[UnwashedPeasant]

It should be solid white.

[Theodore R.]

People in MS can vote this down. I would do so no matter what new flag is submitted. I am not optimistic about the voters of MS coming through.

That flag is waaaaaay too chickified for me.

And I’m a chick.

How long will it be before the Left demands a new flag because of the 'In God We Trust'
emblazoned on this one?

Should be a snowflake, with the word “woke” beneath it.

Call it the Mississippi Surrender Flag.

All it needs is some purple and yellow and they would have a rainbow fag

If they approve this, the people of Mississippi can make the claim they are colorblind. Not nice color coordinating. Icky. Poo. Crap.

[Avalon Memories]

Notice it is not red, white and blue, but red, YELLOW and blue. The yellow stripes run vertically, kind of like the yellow that runs down a coward’s back.

[CatOwner]

Agreed. The addition of “God” is to get this version of the flag past voters to remove the “racist” flag, then comes the follow-up with “God” removed.

[napscoordinator]

I thought that too. This flag won’t last long.

[albie]

Needs snowflakes

[MIchaelTArchangel]

It looks as if it was designed by a color-blind Canadian.

[HarleyD]

OOPS... How did the words “In God We Trust” get in there?

[coon2000]

Lol!
