> [@Isosleepy](#): > > Tampa can’t use the 1970s as an excuse. The flag has been this spectacularly bad since 1930. (Not “my” city, but shouldn’t go unmentioned) > [Flag of Tampa, Florida - Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Tampa,_Florida) That is… a stunningly fugly flag. _Whew_. ---

Mesa has a [flag](https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-azmes.html). You never see it (can’t imagine why) although it’s better than the one it [replaced](https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-azmes.html#des). Much better, IMHO, would be the city’s current [logo](https://d1yjjnpx0p53s8.cloudfront.net/styles/logo-thumbnail/s3/0020/0970/brand.gif?itok=A4cop2ts) without the lettering. ---

I found a Tiermaker for U.S. city flags — [https://tiermaker.com/list/history/us-municipal-and-city-flags-261980/436426](https://tiermaker.com/list/history/us-municipal-and-city-flags-261980/436426) ---

Quite a few of these flags are cool. > [@Joey\_P](#): > > [This](https://milwaukeeflag.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/MilwaukeeFlag.png) is our current one. It’s the sun rising over Lake Michigan. That’s one of my favorites. > [@SmartAleq](#): > > [I kinda like the Portland OR flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Portland,_Oregon#/media/File:Flag_of_Portland,_Oregon.svg). That reminds me of a freeway interchange. Which I like. > [@MrDibble](#): > > I especially love what they’ve done with the star-\>snowline. Yes, that’s completely clever. (Pocatello) [Stockton CA has a flag](https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-ca-sk.html#:~:text=The%20field%20of%20the%20flag,is%2026%20by%2039%20units.) that is half red/half blue with the seal in the middle, as excoriated above. For the record, there are no longer elk anywhere in the Central Valley. I like the Stockton logo, but can’t find a good link. ---

While I don’t live in Buenos Aires proper (I live in “greater Buenos Aires”) I think the city’s flag is badass: [https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/a/ar-bueba.gif](https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/a/ar-bueba.gif) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-your-city-have-a-flag-what-does-it-look-like/837318.md?page=5)
