We are a true melting pot of people and we have been since be effective and handsome. It should look good. A city wide call for something new. Flags are symbols.

I might be a little overwhelmed and carrying these designs into my dreams ha ha. To understand why there is a desire to create a new flag it helps to take a look at the current rendition. The milwaukee city flag was designed by an alderman in 1954. And what he did was he took all the elements and kind of rolled it out on a sheet of paper, and it is an excellent bad example of flag design. The problem was he thew so much stuff in there, that it kind of just dies of its own weight. Haha. We asked people to rate the design qualities of 150 city flags. And milwaukee came in 147th. Flag expert ted kaye and milwaukee historian john gurda, among the were looking for a unique symbol. A unique color pallet. With very strong symbolism.

Something, like taking a personal risk i decided to quit my day job so i could lead this initiative full time. Giving it you the community jumps on board.
