Albany deserves a new flag.

For the past 112 years, we've been using a poorly designed, uninspiring, racist flag, making us just another city without beautiful symbols we can be proud of.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Our current flag

Picture
​❌ Based on the Prince's Flag of the Netherlands, which has since been co-opted by far-right white supremacist groups
❌ Looks like the flag of apartheid-era South Africa

​
❌ Violates four of the five principles of good flag design set forth by the North American Vexillological Association
​❌ Not memorable, "seal on a bedsheet" 

The proposed redesign

Picture
​✅ Evokes Albany's history without drawing on a flag used by fascist organizations
​
✅ Adheres to all five principles of good flag design set forth by the North American Vexillological Association
✅ Distinctive and recognizable from a distance
​✅ Can inspire pride in Albany's citizens
