Non-Confederate symbols for the South

[Cheer]

Eh. Magnolia is more representative of Mississippi, from a Mississippian's (my) point of view. I can imagine the palmetto is the same for South Carolinans. And stay away from diagonals, too Confederate IMHO. So maybe it could be something sort of generically American.

This with some sort of symbol in the bottom of the left bar, maybe?

Here's a possibility.

I like the design. And it sorta feels vaguely-Southern. But can anyone tell me about the symbolism of this flag? What are the flowers and the chevron represent?

Not a remotely funny one, though.

I beg to differ. I'm from the South, and I found that hilarious! I know guys like that. Legit.

Eh, little too generic a symbol IMO. Maybe Keperry's flag could work with a palm fond or Southern Live Oak in place of the Magnolia if it's too local of a symbol.

@Troyer IV my personal issue with his "joke" is twofold;

-Too soon of a joke given recent events, especially given the divisiveness of said events, and
-He's not a Southerner, ergo it comes off as intrinsically mean-spirited and can't not be in a tone-free environment like a forum.

 

[Troyer IV]

Meh, I take it for what it is. A joke. I see no meanness to it.

I made this very simple flag utilising the Dixie Swamp Rabbit as a wider Southern symbol, though it would probably only work for the Deep South where it's native. Though ironically the colours were taken from the South Carolina flag.

Yeah, as a Central Mississippian high schooler, I know a ton of people like that. Hopefully they'll grow out of it lol . But, yeah, not the best joke but I still had a good chuckle.

Gotta' say that I am REALLY tired of having to deal with reports on this "joke". Most folks are not finding the humor in it.

Be an exceptionally good decision to let the triple damned thing drop. Know what I mean?
