I do wonder what people will think of all these fancy aesthetically pleasing vexillologist-compliant flags in a decade or so, whether they will encourage people to take more pride in their locality and give them more of an identity. Or it could go the other way and maybe if these places put more emphasis in these minimalist flags to be their symbol everywhere, then that could lead to the place having less recognition since the flag won't really be recognized by anyone who doesn't already know (and in that sense, Flags might not be good replacements for other symbology like seals).

Can only speak about Tulsa, but when I went there a few years ago to visit my brother, you could buy hats, stickers, etc with the city flag and/or just the "roundel" with the star and the gold fringe, and you did see a lot of them around. I wonder how much of that is replicable versus how much of that is Tulsa-specfic "we're not as bad as the rest of Oklahoma" (think Austin, TX civic pride similarly) but it's an example of the local identity taking hold.

Oh god, now I want to see this for every state.

Colorado and Wyoming already do this, and those are two of the higher-tier state flags. Pilot program success, let�s roll it out!
