Ooo, didn't know about that. The bill says that the Flag Commission has until September 1 to select up to 10 flag designs and up to December 3 to recommend a flag, so we should see some cool stuff about that later this year.
This flag was used back in 1918 to celebrate Illinois' 100th anniversary of statehood. I personally wish it was straight up the state flag as opposed to what we have now.
Honestly the current one looks like they had set everything up for a nice picture and then just before they took the picture a bird came and messed everything up.
