After seeing that California has a bill to make Bigfoot their official state cryptid, I fell down a rabbit hole of official state things, and well…
I like Illinois’ one – it’s more blue than the others, and I think that’s cool.
The most lumberjack-y tartans are Iowa (8% forests), Nevada (15% forests), Washington (52% forests), and Wisconsin (48% forests).
To be fair, most Scottish tartans have no more historical legitimacy than these.
Washington released theirs just in time (1991) to be worn on plaid shirts at grunge concerts.
States have “official” everything. It’s a waste of time and taxpayer money.
This post has big CGP Grey energy and I love it
Official tartans are silly. It’s just someone with enough money and time picking a pattern that isn’t claimed.
Assembly Bill 666, seriously?
