    I too preferred the tricolor and that opinion seems to be shared with friends and family I’ve talked to. However, I still think this is a big improvement from the old flag and it certainly beats out some of the other proposed alterations.

    Ultimately, I’m happy with it! Helps that light blue is my favorite color.

      I liked it having 3 stripes as well, though this one isn’t bad. But the thing about this version that won over the rest of the commission was that, when you hang this one vertically, it looks like a perspective drawing of a river flowing off into the distance, with the North Star in the sky above it. So this design is symbolic both vertically and horizontally.
