The Overland Park City Council approved a new City flag.
The new flag features:
- A red oak tree, included in the City brand, which represents Overland Park’s official city tree, its “Tree City USA” designation and the park-like community
- Chevron shapes, which represent Overland Park’s forward-thinking nature and our position as a top city to live
- Chartreuse, representing revitalization, growth, energy and innovation
- Forest green, representing Overland Park’s history, stability and natural resources
The City developed the flag based on designs submitted by community members. In all, residents and visitors shared 143 designs.
The chosen design was inspired by a submission shared by Overland Park resident Justin Ruggieri.
Overland Park staff consulted with members of the North American Vexillological Association to learn about flag design best practices and refine finalist designs.
As the City determined finalist designs, staff asked community members to share their preferences on finalist flags through polling at several City facilities.
The City Council Committee of the Whole reviewed three distinct, final designs and ultimately recommended Resolution No. 5061, establishing the new City flag.
If you are interested in ordering a new flag, they will be available to purchase in the coming weeks. You can express your interest using the Flag Interest Form.
