As someone that subscribes to the fundamental tenants of vexillography, I have a bigger issue with Virginia’s state flag overall design. It is bad practice to use a state seal in a flag design. It is worse practice to also include text in a flag’s design. -Imagine if you shrank that flag down to 2"x3" do you think you’d still be able to read that? Flags are supposed to be read from a distance.
-My solution is to keep the boob, and get rid of everything else except the blue and white background. It would be distinctive and it would still retain it’s same symbolism.

vexillography is just prescriptivism for rectangles
