🏴 3' x 5' Milwaukee, Wisconsin flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The People's Flag of Milwaukee is such an amazing design that we wanted to make it available to y'all! The symbolism:
The gold color of the top fess symbolizes Milwaukee's rich brewing history. Once known as "The Beer Capital of the World," Milwaukee is affectionately referred to as the "Brew City" to this day.
The centered disc represents the sun rising over the horizon of Lake Michigan, as seen while looking East from the shore of the city. The sunrise symbolizes hope and a new day. Universally, the color white represents peace and unity. To many Milwaukeeans, this color has also come to symbolize our long winters.
The three stripes in the sun's reflection represent the founders of Milwaukee and its three original settlements: Kilbourn Town, Juneau Town and Walker's Point. Their light blue color symbolizes our three rivers: Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic.
The navy color of the bottom fess symbolizes Lake Michigan and our status as a port city and hub for water technology.
