Now moving to Massachusetts, with the seal and motto, too. No voting yet; they’re asking the public for submissions.

Another seal-on-a-bedsheet, but at least theirs is a white bedsheet, instead of the more popular blue.
Meanwhile, in the Green Mountain State:
Any chance they go back to this one?
They mention that flag in the article. It turns out that the Green Mountain Boys flag was actually a New Hampshire flag, at least originally. So some people didn’t think it was a good idea to be the Vermont flag.
I think a good variations would be for the canton to have 14 stars representing that it was the 14th state. Yo can even make it orderly with rows 4/3/4/3
I already proposed in a submission to that website that they adopt either the Green Mountain Boys flag (already the battle flag of the Vermont National Guard, despite its New Hampshire origin) or the Bennington flag as the new state flag.
For such a small state, I like that Vermont has not one but two cool historic flags, either of which would be a big improvement over the current SOB, if you ask me.
