That’s a really great redesign! I love that you managed to keep the original symbolism in there while dramatically simplifying things and making an overall more satisfying flag.

As a Marylander, however, I am now legally obligated to stab you through the chest with a live crab. 😔

Since I’m that one guy who doesn’t like Maryland’s flag, I tried to give it a redo when I was redesigning all of the US state flags. I took the Crossland and Baltimore banners and simplified them to make an (imo) better looking flag that alludes to the designs. There’s even some extra symbolism in there: there are seven stripes since Maryland was the 7th state to ratify the Constitution and join the US.
