I am happy to report that Utah has a new state flag, and they have made the beehive the main central point. I think the new flag looks amazing, and it’s probably my favorite flag amongst all 50 states.

But what an ugly and empty new thing it is. It has no "industry", no sego lily, no eagle, no arrows, no U.S. flags, no 1847, no 1896. In place of this history, it has... mountains, an even faker-looking beehive, stretched out colors, and a representation of native tribes which is the only arguable addition (but why a star?).

Interesting video. I would have liked to see you go a little deeper into an analysis of the symbolism though. The creation of this flag was very much trying to make amends with the US government. Why? Because there was extremely tense relationships between the US government, and the LDS Church for the majority of the 19th century. Mormons left the US because of the only time an American government passed an extermination order on its own citizens in American history. There was of course plenty of other controversy like the Utah War, the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and polygamy that followed the Mormon Exodus, to make things worse. The proposal of the state of Deseret was denied several times, largely because of these tensious controversies, but when Utah was finally accepted as a state, the leaders of the state saw it as a good time to put that contention behind them, and embrace a new patriotism for the US. That's why the Eagle/US flag combined with the Beehive (a homage to "Deseret" from the Book of Mormon) is so prominent. It embodies the acknowledgement of the Mormons' industry from their time on their own in Deseret, and their acknowledgement that they were now part of a grander nation. Kinda cool when all the history is considered.

As a Californian vexillophile, I've heard of it! In fact, when the change does happen, I might make my own video on it!

I LOVE OUR UTAH STATE FLAG the way it is! Why don't you leave it the way it is and stop trying to change it all of the time? We don't change our American Flag so why change our State Flag?
