I do have favorites when it comes to state flags and unfortunately our Minnesota flag isn't one of them. There is a whole pile of states (including MN) that use the state seal on a blue flag background. They all suck. Some of the better ones are Maryland, New Mexico, Arizona, and it pains me to say this... Texas. These are distinctive flags that can be recognized right away.
Oh, and I tried a little experiment at home tonight. I showed the Maryland uniforms to my 13 year old and prefaced it by saying "get a load of these horrible uniforms." He got real quiet and when I asked him what he thought, he said... "Well, I kind of like them." As suggested earlier... the younger generation has a very different eye when it comes to these wild uniforms that Nike and Under Armor are now rolling out.
I would guess the Maryland uniforms got the attention of at least some recruits when they saw them. Not sure if it actually makes a difference and as Glen Mason said on KFAN today, "If the uniforms are a deciding factor, I'm not sure if I would want to recruit that kind of kid."
