MINNESOTA
New state flag
Region: Midwest
Emblem:
Treeline and lake; cursive lower-case "mn".
Minnesota's nickname is "the land of 10,000 lakes", which is actually modest, because there are closer to 11,000 lakes in the state. The wavy lines represent the lakes while the sharply angled lines represent the trees around them.
Field:
Emblem forms.
The flag's field references the tree and lake forms of the new emblem and visually imply that the emblem is just one small part of a huge forest and lake.
