The problem with the Duluth flag, as well as the Minnesota flag, is that it fails the first rule of vexillography and that is that a child should be able to reproduce it with some crayons and maybe a straight edge.  As city flags go, I'm a fan of the Chicago flag.

People would buy the Duluth flag.  It's really cool.  But I'm sure it would lose money.  Someone should step up and subsidize it for the love of Duluth.

I think I saw a Duluth flag in a more visible location a couple years ago, but I haven't seen it since. Perhaps it was in the sister cities display that used to be in the skywalk near the old KDLH studio, somewhere around Fifth Avenue West.

Chicago's flag took second place in the North American Vexillological Association's American City Flags Survey. Duluth's flag wasn't in the survey, but its flag is much better than many of the flags that were. I'd probably put it around number thirty-five, which is about half-way between Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Megan, click the link to the survey in my comment above. It has pictures of all 150 city flags in the survey.

If anyone wants to see Duluth's flag in person, go to Lake Superior Plaza at Superior Street and Lake Avenue. I assume that's where the photo in the post was taken.

Sean,

Why would a company, government entity or individual "subsidize" production of Duluth's flag? I mean, unless we were going to battle with Superior, I don't see the value of providing affordable flags for the proletariat.
