The creators of the �Hospitality Flag� have altered its design in order to keep it in the running to become the next Mississippi state flag.

The bill to remove the now-former state flag and create a commission to design a new proposal includes two stipulations – the flag cannot display the Confederate battle emblem and it must carry the motto �In God We Trust”.

Wednesday, the creators of the popular flag, which was formally known as the Stennis Flag, unveiled its new look.

A FLAG THAT FITS THE BILL. There are thousands of flags, car tags, and stickers already out there – across the state and across the country. Let�s build on rather than undo that momentum and branding. #putitup #mississippi #msleg pic.twitter.com/EaUj2SxqCI

Wednesday afternoon, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History officially retired the flag that has flown above the state since 1894.

A nine-member commission will be created to design a proposal for a new flag that will be voted upon by Mississippians in November. If that design doesn’t receive a majority of the vote, a new proposal will be submitted.
