Unfortunately, the stripes and stars don't immediately invoke what you say they mean. I like all of the design elements, but I had no idea why there were thee stripes. My guess for 2 stars was Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. I liked it after you explained it though. This would be worlds better than what we have now.

Ditto to pretty much all of the above, albeit with one additional nitpick. Like the rivers, I didn't pick up on the symbolism of the colors until it was explained. The green looked too military to me, and the orange-brown just looked dirty. I think it's more or less impossible to get away from the blue and gold with how long they've been a part of our state identity, official or otherwise.
