Topeka's flag looks cool. KC's is ugly as shit!

i like Wichita's, it's got a whole kamikaze feel to it, hehe (and by kamikaze i mean "bad ass oriental")

I think our flag should be simpler. Get rid of the bars, give it a blue or red background with just the fountain logo.

Wichita's flag is way cool. St. Louis is cool. Topeka is nice, but the color scheme is awful.

I dig the St. Louis and Wichita flags. Topeka's is OK, KC's is kinda strange. But 103 in the entire country isn't too shabby. I realize the poll is only to 150, but surely there are more flags that didn't make the cut.

I have never seen the KC flag with the vertical bars, just the heart/fountain logo and the city name. You can see it at most city faciliites around town.

St. Louis and Wichita both have "cool designs," but I think my favorite one for all of those is Jefferson City. It's got the city and state name, the outline of the state, as well as the place that put Jefferson City on the map (the state capitol).

As for KC's flag, I have never seen it with those bars, but even with the bars, I think KC's flag is till lame.

Maybe there's a reverse correlation!

Jeff City's gets my vote. The KC flag looks way to plain.

I kind of like Wichita's.

This was the winner?

i like STL's and Topeka's.

KC's is absolutely ridiculous. who decided on that one? who puts the freakin' city symbol on the flag?

also, there is no way that is the original flag design. that logo can't be older than the 70s. what did KC's flag used to look like? did we always have a flag?

chicago's flag is cool.

Phoenix is my favorite

I like KC's the colors need to be changed though... Keep the fountain but add more to it...

City Flags don't have to look like country flags...

My only issue with St. Louis' flag is that it has French colors and a french symbol...

(I don't like the french of course)

Wichita does have a type of Imperial Japan 1940s look to it, that's the symbol for the Wichita tribe but it looks like a sun...

We need to do something more with ours... Lets bring up ideas!

Isn't witchita the geographical center of the continental US? Is that why they have the little circle thing on their flag?

I think it depends on who you ask. I've always heard that Kansas City is closest to the geographical center.

If I remember correctly some kind of sex shop is supposed to inhabit the exact center.

KC's looks like it was redesigned relatively recently... has a more 'modern' look to it.

Omaha #26

I don't like St. Louis because it has french colors and a french symbol? what the hell? Devin, you sound like those people who won't eat at French restaurants anymore.

KCDevin · Post by **KCDevin** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 3:46 pm

Exactly, I don't like the French

And look at their most recent act, they helped a terrorist
