March 31st, 2018 : Old Gory… err, Glory
After 1912 the US has 48 states and the flag has 48 stars… coincidence? I think not.

Many of the submissions were along traditional lines, probably thinking a better chance of becoming THE ONE. Others were further a field, very different, and likely to piss off a lot of people, so no. Quote:
But the system worked, the flag is safe from anarchists, artsy types, and Americans. link

That one looks like something that escaped from the basement at Nuremburg.

Having visited Hawaii in 1956, I rooted for it to beat Alaska to statehood.
It lost by 8 months. I have been back to Hawaii several times, but am punishing Alaska by never visiting. |

I'm guessing this was the intent but very hard to deny any interpretation. Bad design.
I wonder if this was a nod to Puerto Rico?

Jim, I should think being the 50th would have more distinction, more prestige, than next to last.

I love the one bottom centre - it's like the US has been skewered.
