A green pine tree and nothing else.

It would be like the flag of Japan but better. Who the heck puts an umeboshi on a flag?

That’s Maines old flag

Because Maine used to be part of MA

No it isn't. Maine's old flag had an anchor at the base of the tree plus a star in a corner.

I think you’re getting the 1901 Maine and Maine Ensign confused

Maine wants to go back to the green pine with the star, though. That's already being sold all over the place up there. (I have no idea what the status is of them trying to officially change the flag.)

Maine should grow a pair and go back to the old flag.
