It takes a lot of courage, or blind confidence, to put out a design for a flag. You know you're in for a lot of uneducated opinions, hot takes, comparisons to other designs, people with terrible design sense. "It's too simple!" "It's too complicated!" "I hate that colour!" "That doesn't represent Calgary to me!" "Why are we focusing on that group to represent?" "It's too modern!" "It's not modern enough!"
Flag design is very personal. There will never be a design that the majority of people agree with.
I'm not saying we shouldn't try, but it's a death by committee process I wouldn't want to be a part of.
The 5 Treaty 7 Nations, represented by 6 lines does't make sense to me.
