Ohio Asked to Cut Out Own State Flags | Flags For Good
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INDIANAPOLIS, April 1, 2023 - Flags For Good is announcing a limited edition “Cut Out Your Own Ohio Flag.” This flag is only available for preorder until midnight tonight.
Flags For Good, an Indiana-based flag company, is sick and tired of Ohio thinking it's SOOO cool with it having the only non-rectangular state flag in the US.
“We just can’t be bothered taking the extra time to cut flags out into the iconic swallow-tail shape anymore. Do it yourselves.” said Founder, Michael Green.

IS THIS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? No…Yes?…Well, it started as a joke and quickly got out of control. “We received an email a while back where someone asked if our Ohio flags were pre-cut, or if they had to cut it out themselves. We still laugh about this email in the office to this day. So we figured, for April Fools 2023, why not make the gag a reality?” Green said.
WILL THESE ACTUALLY BE MADE? “Yep, and with the quality and poise you have come to expect from our fine flag-stablishment. But this product is available for today only.”
