If Oklahoma took the big “OKLAHOMA” off the bottom of the flag, we’d have a fairly kickass flag and there’d be something good to say about this shithole. It’s not exactly Texas or New Mexico, but this state has a lot of history (especially with the tribes) crammed into a short segment of time so the symbolism is there. It’s a complicated flag for a complicated place.
Prior to 1941, this is how the flag looked
And it’s so significantly better. It’s unique and truly representative of this place. Nobody is confusing this flag for another, except maybe for the blue field.

But hey, Tulsa’s new flag is pretty great.
