Happy Flag Day!
New #flags often face uphill battles for recognition & support. Many found the new U.S. flag strange or garish (especially the British). Modern flags also faced deep skepticism at first – including Canada, South Africa, & Arizona. Today, all are considered iconic! #vexillology

Think locally, folks. Every hometown in Maine deserves a symbol to be proud of. Want one? We can help.
Top - Great.
Middle - Great.
Bottom - Up to you.

The symbolism is both for Portland's safe seaport, but also the symbolism of a safe and secure port to ride out a storm in any era, including a pandemic. #CityFlagsTourney22

The North American City Flags Tournament is promoting the city flag movement to have city flags that our communities recognize, show community pride, and are flown across the city.
Today we showcased Portland, Maine's effort.

@SeaBags Here's an idea... make a @FlagForPortland tote. The design is simple and beautiful. It would only require a blue border and your current anchor. The folks working on this were just highlighted in Downeast. downeast.com/maine-made/main… Make a prototype? PLEASE!

Imagine if @SeaBagsMaine made Portland Flag bags ⚓️ @FlagForPortland Just add a blue rectangle around the edge. 90% there already. This has to become a thing 💰💰

Field study: The new flag for Bellingham, WA, is displayed in murals, on stickers on bikes and vehicles, and seems to convey some of the connection people feel between themselves, their community, and the city.
