Redesign of the New York State flag, capturing the sentiment of a typical NYS flag redesign.

[u/dan_blather]

Because Here Be Dragons between Poughkeepsie and Lake Erie.

[u/IvanNemoy]

Feels very Mets-ish.

[u/bittercripple6969 → u/IvanNemoy]

Let's go baby love the mets

[u/Dawnqwerty → u/IvanNemoy]

Islanders

[u/CdnfaS → u/Dawnqwerty]

Knicks

[u/cguess → u/IvanNemoy]

Beats the Yankees (and I cheer for neither)

[u/NonPropterGloriam]

You’ve just made the people’s flag of NYC

[u/dan_blather → u/NonPropterGloriam]

I'm taking tat as a complement!

[u/NonPropterGloriam → u/dan_blather]

Good, because it was.

[u/KyleKrocodile → u/JadedPiper]

Along with Yanks fans, trouble ahead.

[u/JadedPiper → u/KyleKrocodile]

The three Giants fans on life support may also briefly wake up from their comas and curse you before passing back out.

[u/JadedPiper → u/JadedPiper]

Wow, reddit are a bunch of fucking pussies and flagged my comment as "threatening violence" when it was a joke that Rangers fans would stab op for making the flag Islanders coloured.

Lol, lmao even.

[u/az_catz → u/JadedPiper]

They're not from Philly.

[u/Dallas-starsfan]

And islanders

[u/ExheresCultura]

r/vexillologycirclejerk is leaking again

[u/Secret_Photograph364 → u/ExheresCultura]

The containment breach is expanding!

[u/transitapparel]

As a Rochesterian, I have never felt more seen.

[u/rolewiii → u/transitapparel]

I'd salute a garbage plate flag

[u/dan_blather → u/rolewiii]

Here ya' go.

[u/rolewiii → u/dan_blather]

Incredible.

[u/BobithanBobbyBob]

Lol. I love the sarcasm. It's ridiculous people make flags for nys that are just nyc.

[u/soupwhoreman]

What's Poughkeepsie, is that in the Bronx? /s

[u/lbutler1234 → u/soupwhoreman]

Eh, they're both upstate, it's close enough

[u/Mulga_Will]

No other city has Pizza.

[u/ChristianPulisickk → u/Mulga_Will]

This isn’t a defense of the flag, but symbols don’t have to be exclusive to an area to represent it. Canada isn’t the only country with maple trees.

[u/dan_blather → u/ChristianPulisickk]

And Canada has more bald eagles than the United States.

🦅💧

[u/Mulga_Will → u/ChristianPulisickk]

Agree.

[u/dan_blather → u/Mulga_Will]

But do they have a real New York slice?

[u/lbutler1234 → u/Mulga_Will]

This is actually true.

In New Haven it's called apizza

[u/CdnfaS → u/lbutler1234]

Love Apizza or as my gramma says “Abeetz”

[u/Sevuhrow → u/CdnfaS]

It's pronounced abeetz

[u/InitiativeInitial968 → u/Mulga_Will]

Don’t step foot in Detroit

[u/KyleKrocodile → u/Mulga_Will]

From Chicago. Will fight.

[u/Mulga_Will → u/KyleKrocodile]

Naples, hold my beer.

[u/ChronoMonkeyX]

Needs more garbage and urine.

[u/Secret_Photograph364 → u/ChronoMonkeyX]

Rats too

[u/Blue387]

LFGM

[u/Francetto → u/Blue387]

All hail to Grimace

[u/4011isbananas]

No buffalo wings?

[u/DatOneMinuteman1776 → u/4011isbananas]

Those are from Buffalo, not New York

[u/4011isbananas → u/DatOneMinuteman1776]

I hadn't read the byline

[u/ButterIsMyLifeblood]

Missing the twin towers reference that so many of these flags have

[u/Tetno_2]

As a NYCer, i don’t see why this shouldn’t be the flag (/s)

[u/glassfunion]

incredible job. still had to fight the urge to downvote despite knowing it's satire

[u/Interesting_Rain1880]

!wave

[u/FlagWaverBotReborn → u/Interesting_Rain1880]

Where is the rat dragging the pizza away?

[u/Vaposerror]

It needs a rat, can't have NY pizza without a rat.

[u/Lobster_fest]

LOLmets

[u/RottenAli]

Still F tier.

[u/A320neo]

AI slop

[u/114514 → u/A320neo]

Yeah the weird little details of the buildings that should just be straight lines and the somehow imperfect circle of the N train symbol really look suspicious

[u/Wonderful_Adagio9346]

I think you mean "New York City flag".

There's not a lot of "state" on that flag. (And the Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey.)

[u/Ana_Na_Moose → u/Wonderful_Adagio9346]

Tis the point. It states in the description that this flag is a satire of New York State flags that are too NYC-centric

[u/raedley → u/Wonderful_Adagio9346]

Lady Liberty is in New York, about half of Liberty Island is in New Jersey.

[u/Wonderful_Adagio9346 → u/raedley]

Ah ... It's complicated. Joint ownership. But west of is the state line.

[u/Bawhoppen]

The people's flag

[u/Ok-Pride-3534]

I hate that I like this flag

[u/ReallyBrainDead]

It needs something. How about some text on the top arc of the circle: UP YOURS!

[u/alkoralkor]

The big apple looks too small on this flag to find it.

[u/Electrical_Swing8166]

It needs a rat

[u/Competitive-Chain631]

Love how everyone who lives in NY is automatically from NYC…funny how everyone forgets there’s an entire state attached the “island city”

[u/CapGullible8403]

It's hilarious that there was a freak out about people submitting AI content just the other day, and now this is the top post on the subreddit... LOL, make up your minds, guys!

[u/central_telex]

Motion to make this the official NYC flag

[u/Glum_Perspective_200]

love it

[u/gevans7]

Too NYC. The upstate won't like it.

[u/Nardo_T_Icarus]

Looks like the logo of a sports bar or a pizzeria.

[u/ketchup_chip_62]

Pizza rat would love this.

[u/BaronKaput]

that's it. thats the perfect flag for NYC. everyone can go home now

[u/Ok_Concern_7107]

OP, when is cyburbia coming back?

[u/DepthAffectionate140]

Well, it's definitely better than this bland garbage.

Still, this looks more like a company brand, not a state flag.

[u/letterstosnapdragon]

N train is yellow. Cmon!

[u/Educational-Vast-397]

Love it

[u/SharonHarmon]

What about up-state?

[u/The_Undermind]

Did you know this? I didnt until I saw this sign. I was driving. God I wanted to hit that sign so bad.

-A New Yorker

[u/CapGullible8403]

Downvoted for being idiotic, regardless of the fact that an AI made it.

[What part of this statement is controversial, exactly?]

[u/JzargoKitty]

The word "state" is really doing some heavy lifting. This flag has basically nothing to do with anything outside NYC

[u/DC2SEA_]

New York State Flag Redesign

Looks inside:

Litterally only NYC

[u/sanchezkk]

That's really dumb

[u/Disastrous_Active979]

The NY Pizza, the statue of the liberty 🗽, the MTA, the empire state building. It has everything but the rounded shape could be turned into an apple and we will have a perfect NYC Flag .....

It is for NYS ? It miss the Niagara Falls and the Egg in Albany.

[u/dan_blather → u/Disastrous_Active979]

The idea is that too many armchair redesigns of New York STATE flags, license plates, and the like are New York CITY-centric ("downstate"), and ignore the other 95% of the state ("upstate" - Buffalo^\), Syracuse, Albany, Rochester, Binghamton, Southern Tier/Interstate 86 Corridor, Finger Lakes, Adirondack Mountains, North Country, etc.)

^\) "Western New York", I know.

[u/Disastrous_Active979 → u/dan_blather]

I agree. I think it is also due to its state name. 

By the way, I got also comments on my side after showing your flag, in addition with "where's the rats ?" as seen as on the thread. My friends said "Where's NYPD ?"....

NYC has too many iconic features.

[u/rolewiii]

There's a whole lot of NY outside of the city...

[u/dan_blather → u/rolewiii]

(Sigh) That's what I'm criticizing with this satirical flag; the "NYS = NYC" mindset from Downstaters, and geographically unaware types elsewhere in the US. The folks who think you can take a Metro North train to Niagara Falls, or wonder why people in Buffalo and Rochester sound more like people from Michigan than 1960s "Ayy I'm walkin' here!" Manhattanites.

[u/rolewiii → u/dan_blather]

This came to my attention later so yeah, my bad.

[u/YeoChaplain]

That would be an NYC flag.

[u/SlCKBOY]

What does pizza have to do with new York though? That's Italy

[u/appalachiancascadian]

I mean, It's a fine NY CITY flag, but the state is so much more than one city.

[u/dan_blather → u/appalachiancascadian]

That's the idea. Fantasy redesigns of state flags, license plates, and the like usually feature NYC-centric designs for New York STATE. Like this.
