I'm extremely biased, but I think Texas has an excellent flag. It ... was not a sure thing.
By a law passed shortly after the revolution, this was the first national standard of Texas. I don't think many existed in reality.
This was the proposal from the new Republic of Texas's General Convention. After the original design was submitted, someone was like "What about a rainbow? I like rainbows!!" and someone else was like "Put another, smaller star!" and someone else was like "What if we forget what country we're in? Put the name on there!"
But after that everyone learned their lesson about busy flags with confusing symbolism
psych they did not.
This was Stephen F. Austin's flag proposal, which someone apparently, rightfully, tried to burn. It's hard to tell, but this Hawaii style flag is red, white, and green, meaning to incorporate American, British, and Mexican symbolism.
I know what you're thinking. Not complicated
enough. Well my boy Steve has got you covered with this later revision.
Yes, it is the disembodied head of some kind of anime George Washington now replacing the star, with no less than
three legends. Above him, 'WASHINGTON' and 'Where liberty dwells there is my country,' below 'In his example there is safety'. They also wanted to make the background of the Union Jack yellow, for reasons. Steve, you're drunk, give me the keys.
