Am I the only person who thinks the 1909 Maine flag looks like shit? It looks way too simple with not enough personality for our state. To me it screams "Some kid could make this in MSPaint in less than a Minute" The New Mexico flag is a great example of something simple but with personality and history. The symbol on it comes from their native tribes. A tree and a star doesn't scream Maine, nor does it represent us or have history behind it.

People in 1909 thought that too. That's why they changed it. :P

You’re not alone. I also don’t care for it. I like our flag with a seal/crest element. I really hope they never formally change it.

argg.. our current flag is ugly and boring.
And looks like about 20 other state flags that all did the same thing. The state seal on the blue background.
I'm not crazy about the 'old'/'new' flag.. but it's miles ahead of the one we have and if that's what it takes to get it changed then I'll go for it.
