I've always liked Illinois' centennial flag (kbin.earth)

Much better than the current SOB flag. They did pass a bill last year to make a committee to change the flag, so hopefully we will get a good design.

Ooo, didn't know about that. The bill says that the Flag Commission has until September 1 to select up to 10 flag designs and up to December 3 to recommend a flag, so we should see some cool stuff about that later this year.

EDIT: Correct link.

This flag was used back in 1918 to celebrate Illinois' 100th anniversary of statehood. I personally wish it was straight up the state flag as opposed to what we have now.

Honestly the current one looks like they had set everything up for a nice picture and then just before they took the picture a bird came and messed everything up.

Yeah, the current flag looks like a middle school kid with m$ Paint won a participation prize.
