Bauman flag redesign depicts City Hall floating into Milwaukee harbor like a cruise ship
onmilwaukee.com
After the Sept. 9 committee meeting at which a motion to make the People's Flag the official City of Milwaukee narrowly passed, Ald. Bob Bauman, who voted against that motion, has submitted an altered design for consideration.

Bauman’s complaint at that meeting was that the flag did not depict an obvious Milwaukee landmark, unlike the current flag, which is a smorgasbord of pictorial imagery from the 1950s.

At the meeting, Bauman suggested plopping City Hall into the center of the People’s Flag, and as you can see from the image above, he got busy on his computer to come up with a bastardization of the design that finds City Hall floating like a cruise ship into the Milwaukee harbor.

Does this guy also think that the Stars and Stripes is lacking a photo of the White House? How about the CN Tower plastered on the Canadian flag, or the Eiffel Tower on the French Tricolour?

    Rookie mistake. You need to add text, a year and an emblem to check all the boxes. You get bonus points if the emblem already contains other flags.
