Love it, I am from Upper Peninsula.i have a ton of flags for my home state, Michigan, and this is one of them.
inspired by a reddit post (which seems to be missing/deleted?) and they posted it at the flag of Superior (a state proposed but denied and it consisted of the upper peninsula or U P for short) and the major difference was it had 3 stripes insted of 5:
the 5 stripes represent the 5 great lakes
the white represents the shore, snow and the peaceful (ish) nature of the state
and the green represents the Peninsulas and the natural beauty of the state.
thoughts?
Let's make better US state flags

This is a big necro, by the way. It's six years. Anyway, I wanted to point this out since I'm annoyed by it.
That flag is the old flag of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, and it was created by King Kamehameha I to represent neutrality between America and Britain, being a deliberate hybrid of the US and UK flags. The stripes represent the USA, the Union Jack Britain. It's an old flag with a long history, and it looks fine as is.
If you understand the history of Hawai'i, it is there for a good reason.

Seems to me more like the flag of some Conservative but Communist (or Syndicalist) state/nation/...
What makes you think it's conservative? Yellow and black are the colors on the seal, after all.
In order:
Michigan: Based on the seal, it features a sun over a body of water(yeah, the water is white, deal with it) . The green stripe represents the forests and the stars the 13 colonies. There are also 13 rays on the sun.
Oregon: The center figure is a wagon wheel with 13 spokes(guess why) an the stripes represent the west coast and the I-5(ha!).
Utah: The bee replaces the ugly apiary seal neatly. 13 more stars and and a border to represent integrity(?).
I just don't get why Vermont ignored it's own history in order to pick a worse flag
Agreed, tho I kinda understand, the green mountain boys flag does look like s rip off US flag
Here's a new idea for the Washington State Flag.

Ya, it would be better as a physical object but still...
There was nothing wrong with the original Maine flag, then they had to change it to the bed sheet design.
