No flag

The city of Boulder, Colorado, has informed me that it does not have a flag.

Flag proposals

I do not believe Boulder has a flag. However, this local news article says that there was a proposal for one which won a contest held by resident Ron Campbell and was published in the Boulder Daily Camera on November 18, 1987. Frank Giggs, the father-in-law of a Daily Camera employee, claims to have submitted the design. When confronted with the proposal at the time, the mayor was skeptical about it. This design is a green-white-green horizontal triband. Within a ring outlined in green, the Flatirons are depicted in green. The white stripe reads "BOULDER" in green.

In 2014, cities were asked to bring a city flag to the Sister Cities Conference in July. The council authorized the Sister Cities Committee to come up with a flag for the city, even just for use at the conference. However, it appears no flag has been adopted.
