I salute the flag of Mississippi and the sovereign state for which it stands with pride in her history and achievements and with confidence in her future under the guidance of Almighty God.
带有州玺(英语:Seal of Mississippi)的200周年纪念旗是一个方案。另外,由劳林·斯坦尼斯设计的20星旗也是一个方案;这个方案中,中间的大星星代表密西西比州,其他19颗星星代表在密西西比州之前加入联邦(英语:Admission to the Union)的19个州,两侧的红条代表了密西西比军民为“追求大众的自由与正义”而洒下的鲜血。[10]密西西比大学再次拿出了1998年的倡议,建议“恢复真正的州旗”,也就是“木兰旗”。相比起1861年的木兰旗,这个方案去掉了左边、上边和下边的红色边缘。[11]
