The flag of Boston consists of a sky blue field and the seal of the city of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, in the center. The flag is sometimes flown in a darker shade of blue, more of a turquoise. It was designed in 1913 and adopted by the Boston City Council on January 29, 1917.
The family name Boston is of English origin and is derived from a place name, specifically the city of Boston in Lincolnshire, England. The name likely means "Botolph's stone" or "Botolph's town," referring to the Anglo-Saxon saint Botolph.

I don't think it has to do with fading in the weather. Either the manufacturer doesn't know the official specifications, or someone changed them. The "yellow" is supposed to be "buff" (again, a 1776 u...

I have studied Boston's flag history for decades. Most of the images that exist are technically wrong as are most of the flags that exist. Here is a synopsis of my research to date.
image by Dave Martucci, 26 January 2019 There is an actual color photograph of the obverse of the 1913 Columbus Day Municipal Standard laid out on an undated proof sheet supplied by a publisher to the Boston Arts Commission (BAC) which tantalizingly refers to an image of the Trimountain seal on page 70. Unfortunately, no book with these images appe...
image by Dave Martucci, 27 January 2019 On St. Patrick’s Day, 17 March, Boston becomes Irish in every way. Widely displayed on that day is “Sully’s Irish Flag” (technically named “Sully’s Irish Logo Banner”). It is the Irish tricolor with the white bar transformed into a shamrock. Some consider it Boston’s unofficial flag for that day.https://www.s...
