What makes the St. Louis municipal flag official and who authorized its use?
Great question. The official status of the St. Louis municipal flag is established by city law. It was formally adopted by a city ordinance passed by the St. Louis Board of Aldermen on February 3, 1964.
The design itself was the winning entry from a public competition, created by Theodore Sizer, but its official government status and protection from modification come from that specific municipal legislation. So, it's the city's own governing body that authorized its use, making it the official St. Louis municipal flag we see today.
