Okay, interesting, but how about this: just discard the 13 stars, since nobody cares about new england actually. set the number of stripes to just two with red on the bottom half and white on top, then make the blue stretch all the way to the bottom and probably make it a little less wide to compensate, then center the lone star among the blue sky. I think that'd be a much better flag.
Alright look just because a certain someone made the best of all these “style” designs doesn’t mean the motherland doesn’t deserve at least a little better.
Though the large center star is the least compelling aspect due to the similarity, perhaps it should be the same size as the others.
