As someone from outside the USA, I'm surprised a state flag looks this good. I dig it.

There has been a recent movement of states with bad flags trying to improve their image. Illinois might be next and I'm quite excited about it as it's long overdue!

I thought, "Doesn't Illinois have one of the few good state flags?"

Nope, I was thinking of the city flag of Chicago. The state flag is literally just the state crest on a white background. It would absolutely benefit from a redesign. :p
