I don't know, this seems like a lower-priority item right now. Let's save democracy first, and then we can start worrying about how the PA flag should be redesigned later.

Sew each side to the Alabama state flag.

And yes, I say this as someone who was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and still have family and friends there.

Lately this keystone flag design has been gaining favor:



The designer is a young woman named Tara Stark. However there are many other suggestions out there, and we're a long way from making any kind of determination.

And Gov. Shapiro's quote, "We get shit done."

And a Ruffed Grouse along with President Joe's face

And maybe Mrs. Fetterman handing out bread.

And while they are at it change the name from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the People's Democratic Republic
Bidenland.

LOL! This photo would be a nightmare to try to embroider on a flag.

However I love the new state motto: "We get shit done!"

That's a classic!
