It just looks pretty bland and I hate how it says the city's name on it as if they couldn't create a design to make it stand out on its own.

Some other Louisiana city/region flags

New Orleans

Shreveport

Acadiana(Lafayette Area)

The only people who really give a flying frick about their city flag are people from Chicago and people from Shreveport and it is fricking stupid.

You should start a redesign campaign.

That Shreveport flag is tight though.

I personally think it's pretty badass.

Apparently they just adopted it in the 60s after desegregation and whatever the old one was was something that was perceived to be really racist. Haven't been able to find out what it looked like. Any old timers know?

Normally I'm not a fan of words on a flag, but BR's is done pretty well, IMO.

I have my city's flag on the wall in my garage:

Looks like a hotel flag.

let's get Gary Chambers right on it. I'm sure he can design us up a new city flag..

Most people do not like things they don't understand.

That being said we have the BR flag flying proudly at the house.

At least BR's flag is not as bad as Pocatello

Looks like some kind of cheap advertising logo.

I hate the flag, but I love the crest. It should just be the crest on the flag.





Personally, it looks better with the blue background, which is actually my phone background... But I can't get it posted for some reason.


Reddit did some other mock ups of the BR flag, fwiw.

Check out the TED Talk on flags...BR breaks all the rules.


It is a hot piece of garbage.

I like Nola's and have always loved the Acadiana flag. Baton Rouge's is bad, imo.
