The flag of Wichita, Kansas, was adopted in 1937, and was designed by Cecil McAlister.

Current flag (1937-present)[]

The flag is a white field with alternating red and white rays expanding from the center blue circle, which has a white Native American symbol in it.

Symbolism[]

The white circle symbolizes a ‘hogan’, or permanent home, while its' color "blue" indicates happiness and faithfulness in a town of happy people and permanent homes. The red means virtue and honor, the white stands for courageous virtues. The stripes lining the red and white background are symbols of rays of light and ways to come and go, open and free to all—hence, the red, white, and blue.

2004 NAVA survey[]

The flag scored 8.41 out of 10 on the 2004 NAVA City Flag Survey.
