Over 2,700 new Mississippi state flag proposals submitted

From magnolias, stars, guitars, beer cans, a light house to Elvis Presley and Kermit the Frog, state flag proposals have been pouring in.

All these have been proposals submitted by the general public for a new Mississippi flag after the former flag was recently retired.

The public submitted more than 2,700 proposals and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History posted those to its website today.

By early September, commissioners will choose a single design to put on the November 3^rd statewide ballot.
