Today, the flags of the state of Missouri and the City of Kansas City, Missouri fly.
I recently took a road trip from the Bay Area to Chicago and one of the cities we visited was Kansas City. It was an awesome trip and I was impressed by the evolution of the city’s flag. The current design retains the major element from the previous designs, but it crisp, clear, and uncluttered.
The flag of the State of Missouri was adopted 110 years ago. According to the Missouri Secretary of State’s office, “The three large stripes were symbolic of the people of the state—the blue stripe represented vigilance, permanency, and justice, the red represented valor, and the white stripe symbolized purity.” The red, white, and blue are also said to highlight the french influence on the state in its early years.
