Several attempts have been made by the Pennsylvania legislature and the public to address these criticisms by changing or altering the flag.

According to former State Representative Tim Solobay (who introduced the first set of bills), this was intended to make Pennsylvania's flag more unique and identifiable.

It has since seen more popular use, notably including on a lapel pin worn by one state legislator,[22] and has been referenced by multiple media outlets.

"[26] A House Resolution was formally introduced later that month, but did not receive a hearing before the legislative session ended.
