Description Here is a alternative flag I made for the State of Louisiana.
The original one seemed a bit generic like most U.S. state flags are.

The flag is a tricolour symbolizing a connection to France, but also are the colors associated with the United States.

The three golden stars are representative of four influential cultures in Louisiana:

The French

The Spanish

Native Americans

And African-Americans

The blue star represents the United States, the fleur-de-lis is representative of Louisiana,
the two together represents Louisiana being part of the union.

The pelican flag is too cluttered.

Oh, I know those.
Thanks for the kind words, friend, but mine is not that good as others out there.

Much better-looking than the current flag.

Thanks, friend, but the current flag sets the bar so low that there are much better ones out there.

True but I like the way you designed this flag. It's great to take into account all the ethnic groups. The Louisianian Créole culture is a nice mix between those 4 cultures and even the Cajun culture has been influenced by Natives and Black Americans. I wish Louisiana was still francophone. I heard that French was spoken by a Native American tribe (the Houmas) and even Spanish and German settlers in Southern Lousiana used to speak French as a lingua franca before the 1860s.
