Neighborhood:Fort Greene
Designed by: Jeff Lilley
Designer’s note: Four years ago I moved from Prospect Heights to Fort Greene. At the time I didn’t think there was a neighborhood in Brooklyn I could love as much as the one I was leaving. I was wrong. With one of the most amazing parks in New York City as its centerpiece, Fort Greene is a neighborhood of cultural diversity, beautiful brownstones, and naval history. It’s the best neighborhood in Brooklyn, and I’m pretty sure anyone who came here would quickly feel the same.
these flags all violate the rules of flag design I learned here:
too may colors, too many words, too many tiny graphics

It really would be groovy to at least get to see all of the flag entries. I presently live in Indiana, but my heart is still with my BKLYN borough.
I’d love to see the design for Flatbush! Can we see?
Bayridge should have won .is the prettiest.
I love my neighborhood of Prospect Heights and I truly believe this flag captures its energy and soul. I wish it was available to purchase and so I could fly it. Bravo Erich!
Hi, are these for sale? I would love to get a print of the Bay Ridge flag and give it to my mom for Christmas. Is there anyway I can get in contact with the artist?
Flags? These looks like finalists for greeting cards.
I can see why they didn’t print them.
Whilst all attractive, only the winning flag is anything like a flag.
Surprised so many forgot flags are simple, very simple. Look at Japan’s, Switzerland’s, Canada’s.
