Yes, because the Wisconsin state flag is generic and boring. My flag has had a redesign but I CBA changing it.
Out of curiosity: Is it the same as your NS Flag? (Also, CBA?)

I have to agree with you. The Oregon flag is very similar.

Tell them to change their damn flag then. We came first, and are just as obscure as them!

The UK flag is a nice design.
I was just referring to my flag, but I digress :P

A lot of US state flags need a redesign.

Ignoring the literal shit show for the first 3-4 days, Republicans priorities are already garbage. As we expected. And almost no "moderate" Republican gave one shit that the rules package catered to the far-right. This is going to be a fun disaster of a Congress.

But of course people voted for them, anyway, even though this shit show would have been obvious to literally anyone who actually payed attention for 5 seconds. Get what you deserve.

On Wisconsin, go Wisconsin somethingsomethingsomething...

Aside for a brief bit of pretendy pride over whose cheese was better with a friend who had moved out from Wisconsin, stealing 'On Wisconsin' as my high school's fight song is my primary interaction with Wisconsin.

From my friend I was led to believe that the post frost grass is the secret to good cheese, not happy cows.

I wonder how specific that reference is...

See but they're small. We can take them, definitely. First we go after the small guy, then we scare the State of Portland into changing their state flag.

They probably also spent a grand total of 5 minutes on a different flag making website.

Probably spent all their time on the seal and then someone came in and said "Okay, now make a flag" and they were all "The fuck? Just put the seal on a banner, we're out." And they were all "You can't just put the seal on there" and on out the door they went, "Fine, put the name of the state and the date it became one on it..."
