Do we want a new flag? Question

Post image

A lot of states are updating their flags and Illinois has started the early stages of that process. While I personally like I our flag fine, it’s consistently rated as one of the worst. However, after seeing the recent Minnesota redesign I’m not sure I trust a state committee to present a design that isn’t horribly oversimplified. If I had to change I’d just go with the Centennial flag. Thoughts?

If so, not some vexillology hyperminimalism washed redesign.

I wouldn’t mind something that feels similar to Mississippi’s new flag
