A few of those are better, but that is not saying much.

Before this flag, the flag was just the city's old coat of arms. Which was actually rather attractive, if a trifle busy for a flag.

Here's Edmonton, which is the same basic idea.  It's obviously riffing off of the national flag, but that's not a terrible thing.

It is sad to think that they are so often shaved these days.  :(

Just like the Confederate flag is a simple relic :)

I haven't heard anybody saying we have the six flags of Texas means we are Confederates.  Yet you seem to think so.
