Detroit needs a new flag ?

[Gistok]

If they are already in Detroit odds are that they either know Detroit has a history or they can see it as they are walking around. What is hard to see or decipher is the current flag with the seal in the middle. I would also argue that a change in design would do more for bringing awareness to the flag and history than what we are doing now. Most people don't know we have a flag...

As for design I found this one online some time ago that I think would be a nice alternative. It is simple and still conveys the history of the city without the MS Paint looking figures on it. It is also bold and could serve as a source of pride and branding much like Chicago's flag.

Southen, I do like that design.... except that star in the middle seems redundant. Maybe "1701" or something reminiscent of a fort... to show that Detroit is the oldest major city in the USA between the Rockies and the Appalachians.
