City Flag Redesign for Lubbock, TX. Inspired by a proposed redesign a few years ago, but the design was a little too... Details and links in comments.

Top comment: So, the [original design](https://imgur.com/vRyU4gY) for the Lubbock, Texas flag was adopted in 1971 as a result of a contest held in 1970 by the Women’s Club of Lubbock. Personally not a fan, but it's not near as ostentatious as the infamous [Legendary Lubbock flag](https://imgur.com/yyY5ZV4). It was never officially adopted, but I distinctly remember seeing it fly around the city. The [original flag has changed some](https://imgur.com/tjMRfkw), but to be honest it's not much of an improvement. Two years ago Jared Stanley, a Lubbock Native, redesigned [a new flag](https://imgur.com/TEHe3EP) that he felt better fit the city's heritage. "There are eight spokes representing the eight surrounding counties of Lubbock. Each stripe represents a different thing. The white stripe represents cotton which has historically been known as the city's main cash crop" Unfortunately, I think it looks a bit too much like the Confederate States Flag. Really all I did was add a bit to it. I added a red stripe in the middle that represents Texas Tech University and the deep pride that the people there have for their college community. Red Raider fans are pretty devoted, and I think that should be displayed. The extra white stripe could represent a lot of things (Lubbock Lake Landmark, Education, their Medical advancements, the Silent Wings... look em up), but I added it to create some symmetry and to create a look of two wagon wheels trailblazing. I'd love to run this design by Mr. Stanley, so hopefully someone here knows how to make some moves in the right direction for this. Thanks for looking!
