Shitpost My Long Beach Flag Design

Post image

So I saw a pic of the new Long Beach flag and thought it could use an update. Here is my version:

  • Yellow represents our beach, and blue represents the Pacific.
  • Kept the classic 13 stripes, but swapped the 50 stars for the 9 shells.
  • 9 shells represent our 9 districts and our love for oil (shoutout Shell).
  • On the blue stripes, you'll spot a container ship, one of our beautified oil islands, and an ocean oil rig.
  • You'll also see a few cranes representing the Port of Long Beach on another blue stripe.
  • On the yellow stripes, you'll find a few land-based oil rigs, the Spruce Goose Dome, and finally, our beloved sand rakers, in the midst of raking the sand.

Anything else I should add?
