Rookie mistake. You need to add text, a year and an emblem to check all the boxes. You get bonus points if the emblem already contains other flags.

For reference, the current Flag of Milwaukee, WI, which is quite busy:
As for the so-called "People's Flag" -- either with or without the city hall barreling into the harbor -- it bears a small resemblance to the flag of Reno, NV, which is a pleasing flag.
Robert Lenz’s “Sunrise Over the Lake”, selected after a public competition, which prompted the humorous version with the city hall building.
We went through this in Tulsa-the city councilors did not want to let go of a truly fugly, over crowded flag, so Tulsans had a unsanctioned design contest, then a small private company started printing and selling the winning design. It popped up in so many yards, posters, thongs and t-shirts that it was out of stock, you couldn't order one for months. the city eventually gave in and adopted it. It took them over a year, I think. Fight the good fight against fugly flags!
or the Eiffel Tower on the French Tricolour?
I'm not proposing changing the French flag, but a stylised depiction of the Eiffel tower could work on a flag.
