Rejected Illinois Flag Proposals

Rejected Illinois flag proposals. Welcome to Illinois

What it means

A four-panel collage presents bizarre rejected designs for the Illinois state flag, including a distorted red face, Abraham Lincoln with a burning Confederate flag, a crude “Welcome to Illinois” drawing, and a surreal rat-like creature. The joke is that each proposal is absurdly inappropriate or unsettling, parodying bad state flag concepts and Illinois stereotypes.
