The field of Greensboro’s flag is, not surprisingly, dark green.
In the center of the field is a depiction, in yellow with dark green shadings,
of Major General Nathanael Greene on horseback, in three-quarter
profile, facing toward the fly. The horse, at rest, stands on a yellow
base with 1808 on it in dark green. Surrounding the entire figure is an
open wreath of dark green oak leaves detailed in yellow. The wreath is
about 1.125 units in diameter on a field of 2 by 3 units. Centered
horizontally across the top of the field is CITY OF GREENSBORO,
centered across the bottom is NORTH CAROLINA, all in large yellow
letters.

of a city flag and solicited designs from the public. A. Earl Weatherly
chaired the committee from the club that selected the favorite.
