The Bunker Hill flag, only get rid of the cross, and just have the green pine tree in the canton.

Maine wants to go back to the green pine with the star, though. That's already being sold all over the place up there. (I have no idea what the status is of them trying to officially change the flag.)

The green pine on blue would be pretty good. But not on a shield. It's not really good flag design to have "background color, shield, thing on shield". That's one of the things we need to get away from with the current design.

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.
