   The shade of blue is "Continental" blue (as in the Continental Army of 1776), but every representation I have ever seen here in town is a light blue. 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...

   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...

Some consider it Boston’s unofficial flag for that day.https://www.s...

   Did Boston have a city flag?

   • In the 19th Century, as appears customary in many US Cities, the lack of an official flag did not mean there were no city flags. In many cities the solution was to place the City Seal on a white field. Two images of such a flag for Boston exist. The Bard Brothers painted the Steamship J. Putnam Bradlee wearing a Boston City Flag in 1876.

   Does the Boston City flag have a seal on it?

   • The flag illustrated above as the Boston City Flag is, in fact, the pattern used at City Hall and for most purposes. Usually the seal “shows through” to the reverse, but at least one large flag flying in City Hall Plaza on 22 March 2017 had the seal sewn on to just the obverse and no design at all on the reverse.
