Vote on the next American flag (graphic design, build, church)

I guess I'll go with the sash mostly because I don't really like what our flag looks like in the first place, not because of revolution or something like that.

This is what the flag will look like when the Puerto Rico populace finally grows a brain and vote to end colonial status in favor of becoming the 51st state. My prediction is this will happen sometime in the next 3 or 4 years. The statehood option gets a bigger and bigger % of the vote everytime they have a referendum. The last referendum was like 49% in favor of retaining colonial status, 48% for statehood as the 51st state, and 3% in favor of independence.

The US government has designs for up to 55 stars in the event either of the 5 existing US territories give up their colonial status in favor of statehood.

flag one or two are the better ones of the three...but it would be mad disrespectful to the soldiers that have died if we changed the flag, IMO.

Im all for the third national flag of the confederacy. With the divisions and hatreds brewing out there today, we may get to relive some old history. I know Ill stand with the values of my founding fathers, and against the bolshevik tyrants that threaten this nation from within.

I hate all three of them.

We should incorporate the Union Jack and go back to square one.

This thread is about the flag. Several posts discussing national politics were deleted from the thread, since national politics is off-topic here in General US and in every other local forum on City-Data. Feel free to start a parallel thread discussing politics and the flag in City-Data's Politics and Other Controversies forum and post a link to it in this thread, but you can never discuss that combination of topics here.

I used to get very frustrated when attempting to draw the American flag as a child... anyone else?

I could never get the correct amount stripes, let alone the number of stars.

I think our current flag is just fine - they all look like the Texas flag to me
