Off the top of your head, could you recall exactly what our state flag looks like? It's a challenge most people, including myself, would struggle with.

According to Thrilllist, the New Jersey state flag ranked 47 out of 50, when it came to the design of the flag. The states that had a worse design than New Jersey included Idaho, Nebraska and Maryland which came in at the bottom of the list. Just in case you were wondering, South Carolina was ranked number 1 followed by Texas.

Some of the secrets of having a strong state flag design according to netstate.com are, keeping the flag simple, only using basic colors, and being unique with the design itself.

My idea for a state flag reboot would be to use an image from one of New Jersey's most famous sons. How about using the iconic Born to Run album cover as the state flag? The colors, black and white, are basic as they come, and the design would be simple, unique and instantly recognizable. If that doesn't fly, how about just using the natural wood Fender Esquire guitar as the state symbol? What says New Jersey more than that?

Well that would be my crazy idea.. How about yours?
