Philly Flags Part III: Philadelphia has an official flag. You knew that, right? Well, if you didn’t, you’re probably not alone. Contrary to the city’s DNA, the Philadelphia flag is somewhat subdued, lowkey. It doesn’t really stand out. But even if the flag tends to hide in plain sight, it’s been around a while -- since 1895. Brenda Exon, for one, loves the Philadelphia flag so much she’s created an alter ego and non-profit organization devoted to celebrating it. Not everyone, however, shares her same passion for the original. In fact, more and more, the call for a new Philadelphia flag seems like it’s getting louder and louder. In the third and final installment of our Philly Flags miniseries, hear from supporters and critics of Philadelphia’s official flag, and find out whether it might be possible for the city to adopt a new one.
