    I would say flip the colors to avoid the Mexico comparison, but red on the right and green on the left if often used in navigation.

    Maybe center the star to fit the theme of the North Star better? Although you don’t want to make a Christmas tree, so that might not work.

      To be clear, are you suggesting that green should be on left or right, to match nautical/aeronautical practice?

      Ships and airplanes display green on the starboard (right) side. Although this would be a neat homage to the practice, I’m not aware if the people of Maine have that strong a connection to shipping or aviation, apart from being a coastal state and at the closest end of the country to flight paths to Europe.
