The city of Louisville used to have a really cool flag, see: But then the city and county merged and we got this abomination:  If you drive around the city you will find that 99% of the flags flying on private property are the old flags and no one really uses the new one because it sucks. Also the old flag actually had neat meaning/symbolism, from Wikipedia: The flag previously used by the city consists of 13 white stars arranged in a circular pattern in the upper-left corner with three golden fleur-de-lis in the lower-right on a navy blue background. The stars represent the 13 states which existed at Louisville's founding in 1778, while Kentucky was part of Virginia. The fleur-de-lis honor King Louis XVI of France, after whom Louisville was named because France's support during the American Revolution. It was ranked as the ninth best city flag in the United States in a national survey conducted in 2003 and released in 2004.[1] It was replaced by the current, inferior design, when the city merged with Jefferson County.
