Description of the flags

The St Louis Pride Flag was introduced in 2012. It was designed by replacing the red field of the city flag with the rainbow stripes. The report about its introduction can be read at www.thevitalvoice.com. To make them more distinctive, especially against the yellow stripe, yellow disc and white wavy bars usually have black fimbriations, as shown here. This is also visible in the photos dating from 2012-06-24 which can be found here and here as well as in those taken on 2013-06-29: here and on 2014-06-29: here

More frequently, the wavy bars at the hoist emerge from the edges, at a larger distance from the corners; this flag variant is also more oblong, just like the city flag variant which seems not to be quite correct (see above). A photo of such flag was actually used to illustrate the report about its adoption (see above). The photos of this flag dating from 2012-06-24 can be found here, here and one from 2013-06-29, here

The flag was also photographed on 2014-06-29, with the photos available here, here and on 2015-06-21, the photo being available here

All of these photos reveal that the shade of red is generally the same one as used in the city, state and national flags, while the shade of blue is lighter here, while the disc is in the same shade of yellow as the rainbow stripe. The best photo for the color comparison is the one taken on 2013-06-30, which is available here.

Very rarely, the flag may have no black fimbriations, which makes the yellow disc conjoin into a single shape with the yellow stripe. On this variant, the wavy bars emerge from the corners or the points set very close to them. The photo of such flag, taken on 2015-06-28, can be found here.
