Change the Maine flag
Change the flag of maine from the seal of Maine of a blue field to the original flag of the early 1900’s.
Why is this important?
The 5 rules to a good flag are: it should be simple, it should use meaning symbolism, it should use 2-3 basic colours, should not contain and seals or lettering, and it should be distinctive. The Maine flag violates the majority of these rules. It is hard to distinguish it from the majority of state flags, it has a seal and lettering, it uses a plethora of colours, and air is definitely not simple. The old flag is much simpler and will make our flag distinct.
