Heraldic description for a proposed new flag for Mississippi

What is the heraldic description of a track-suited Wikipe-tan launching an eagle with two ticker tape ribbons in her talons, one reading, "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the other reading "MISSISSIPPI IS THE B..." but twisting away from the view? EllenCT (talk) 06:30, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Mississippi#Flag commission and referendum suggests that a learned commission will be designing the new flag. Alansplodge (talk) 10:44, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be feared some redundancy with that eagle design [1]. Fortunately the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) currently setting "Champion the unique Mississippi story" first in its guiding principles is letting it infer that attention will be given to the design (public buildings are often seen associated with all sorts of flags). --Askedonty (talk) 21:01, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we don't see many lions in England either :-) Alansplodge (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Although so many of them that ended converted into hot dogs, somewhere, just to the north near the eastern coast in the county of Kent. --Askedonty (talk) 20:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
