Sorry to offend anyone, but, I have to say the Kentucky flag is probably among the ugliest in the nation.

I've been looking on line for a redesigned state flag and i found maybe one or two that actually looked good.

Any suggestions? I don't want anything christian related or university related, just a nice looking flag. I noticed on FB there was a petition to change the flag design, but it looks like there wasn't much interest so far.

With that, throw me some suggestions!

I don't know if this will be of any help. KY once had its own stripe on the U.S. flag. It was the 15th stripe for being the 15th state. Vermont was the 14th stripe.
Afterwards, it was decided to go back to only using 13 stripes instead of adding another stripe for every state and adding just a star. KY was the last state to have it's own stripe. Here is the flag I'm referring to, but few people will know about this. It makes a great conversation piece though.

The flag of Kentucky has a fairly simple design as the seal itself features only the state motto and two men embracing. One man is a statesman dressed in formal clothes while the other is a frontiersman dressed in buckskin. It is commonly thought that the frontiersman is Daniel Boone who explored and created settlements in Kentucky. It is also believed that the man in the suit is Henry Clay, a famous Kentucky statesman. Officially, they represent any and all frontiersmen and statesmen.
The two men are intended to represent both the country and city inhabitants of Kentucky at the time it became a state. They also represent unity among the residents of Kentucky. This is also true of the Kentucky state motto, which reads, “United we stand, divided we fall.” These words symbolize how the people of the state are stronger together than they are apart.

I'm not a Kentuckian but I would admonish those who are to defend their flag. Same goes for every other state. Save your flag, save your history.
