Seals shouldn't be on flags, they're too complicated.

Well, too late? Regardless of what should or shouldn't be on a flag, people grow attachments to symbols, especially symbols that represent their home. I don't discount the problems with the flag that exist and why we're having the discussion, but I think the best solution to any possible flag redesign is the simplest.

But, that's the point. Having the seal on the flag is not the "simplest" design. There are other flag designs, and symbols, that are even older than the seal design, and would still connect to MA history rather than just being some random new thing.
