The flag of Miami is the official flag of the city of Miami, Florida. The flag depicts three horizontal stripes, one orange, one white, and one green, and the city's seal in the middle of the white stripe. Text surrounding the city seal reads "THE CITY OF MIAMI" and "DADE CO., FLORIDA," with text on the inside of the seal reading "INCORPORATED 1896;" the text inside the seal is split in half by a palm tree. The flag was designed by Charles L. Gmeinder, Jr. and was adopted November 13, 1933.[1]
The orange stripe of the flag represents Florida's orange industry and the green stripe represents the foliage of Miami, with the white having no meaning.[1] The flag's design is extremely similar to the flag of India.[2] In the North American Vexillological Association's 2004 survey of American city flags, the flag of Miami ranked 70th with a score of 4.18.[3]
