Calgary’s flag — a red-and-white design featuring a large stylized ‘C’ and a cowboy hat — has been the subject of periodic social media debate in recent years. The Calgary Herald even ran a redesign contest for the flag in 2015.
But Kaye said Calgary’s flag meets all the design principles for a good municipal flag, and stands as one of the best banners in Alberta.
“Some people are questioning whether the white hat still is relevant, but it’s a very striking design,” Kaye said.
