SC's flag had no formal design for 80 years. Here's what experts say it should look like.

South Carolina’s state flag is pretty simple: A palmetto tree and a crescent on dark blue background.

What can be so hard about making that? Well, a lot.

The state flag has not had an official design for 80 years. So manufacturers have taken some creative liberties.

Palmetto tree trunks on flags can be thin like a telephone pole or thick like a building column. Tree tops can range from looking like someone who has not gotten a haircut in months to something close to a tennis ball.

The crescent comes in various thicknesses (take your pick — a croissant or a thin smile). And then there’s variations in shade of the blue background.

2. Turn the flag 90 degrees to the right.

It looks like the door to an outhouse, viewed from the inside, and that thing is not a tree but a toilet brush mounted sideways on the door, ready for use.

We South Carolinians may not all have indoor plumbing but we are a proud lot and know how to keep our privies clean.
