Utahns, Your Mother and I Are Getting a New Flag
Move over, state seal, Utah is getting a new flag. Fun! But the question is how can this piece of fabric better represent us? And dammit, does it have to be a beehive? Host Ali Vallarta talks with University of Utah design professor Elpitha Tsoutsounakis about what makes a good flag and why we should even have one.
Purchase the ‘Skiing Dino’ flag shirt here, proceeds benefit the Rocky Mountain Innocence Project.
