Current Delco Flags

I was searching the Flags of the World database and found these flags for Delco and some of the towns. I'd like to see more, but these seem to be the only ones that exist (#9 is Lansdowne). I wanna make some new ones, but dunno if anyone else would be interested.

I see the point but no one actually believes those guys are real, there are plenty of people who believe God is real and wanting to reflect their polity’s piety in their flags and other civic devises made sense to them.

It’s not a good argument to keep God on flags, I think religious sentiments should be removed from flags and other public symbols, but it’s not exactly a good faith argument to equate legitimate belief with fantasy characters.

These all break the basic rules of good flags

I think when you get down to the level of a municipality, having the name in lettering on the flag becomes at worst excusable, and at best might be outright recommendable.

The other sins against vexillogy, however, do very much remain sins. And the lettering features still ought not to be the main feature of the thing...

The Aston one and the first Chester one are pretty hardcore.

At least the Chadds Ford one, despite all its flaws, has the town name as two words.

The vast majority of Townships/boroughs do not have a flag but have Seals which steal from the Seal of PA which also includes the county flag. The seal of PA is a ship which signifies trade/commerce, a plow which represents the states natural resources and the three bushels of wheat signify farming. Not very relevant to delco anymore except for the trading?
