On 2024-03-02, Minnesota United FC fans performed a tifo (choreographed display of a team-related image) at their home stadium, Allianz Field in Saint Paul [1, 2]. The display was inspired by the team's newly introduced "Starry Sky" home kit [3]. Its central element was a banner derived from the new state flag by arranging its elements vertically, replacing the dark blue color with black, changing the number of star points into six so as to match the team logo and adding numerous small discs to the black field so as to resemble the starry night sky. It was placed between two black banners, each bearing many more "stars" and a half of the inscription: "For my part, I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream". The colors of the central banner happen to be those of a state flag variation which was already proposed for the Minnesota United FC fans [4]. Whether this will be followed by a more widespread use of a "customized" variant of the state flag, is yet to be seen.
