There is a big, and very serious issue right now in the city of Boston that needs to change. The Bostonian flag at the moment does not look visually appealing. A frankly quite ugly emblem with the word "BOSTONIA" written across it on a plain background is not what you want to represent your city. The flag is upsetting to look at and no Bostonian should be proud to wave it. Not only does this flag look visually atrocious, but it also has no symbolism to actually represent the city. It has a Latin sentence, a drawing of the city, and the name of the city on it. What kind of symbolism is that supposed to be? We should hold a vote to change the flag and then hold a competition for a redesign. The same process has not only occurred in Orlando and Pocatello but it's been a great success in both these places and formerly terrible flags have been replaced with very nice flags. This same process is also currently occurring in Seattle. Why can't Boston do the same? More importantly: why hasn't Boston already done the same? Massachusetts may be famous for terrible flags such as the state flag, the flag of Taunton, and the flag of Groveland, but it should be the main priority that our capital is well-represented as it is the hub of life in our state. It is an anomaly as to why this flag has been allowed to stand for so long and it needs to change.
