KANSAS CITY - Overland Park is hoisting a new flag.
The old flag that flew over the city was considered rather plain, so they’ve selected a new one from the more than 140 ideas submitted.
The chosen design was inspired by a submission shared by Overland Park resident Justin Ruggieri and 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 says the new flags will be on sale in the coming weeks.
