Numerous towns across the United States are currently in the process of redesigning their historical flags or creating flags for the first time. These communities are carefully reevaluating their past symbols and emblems, striving to modernize them to align with the current values of their residents. One prominent example is the state of Utah, which adopted a new flag in March 2023, discarding their outdated flag in favor of one that more accurately reflects the state's identity. Other locations that have revamped their flags include South Bend, IN, Tulsa, OK, and Miami, FL.
