Morristown, New Jersey

The flag of Morristown, New Jersey is a vertical bicolor of red and white, with a white five-pointed star on the hoist, and a red five-pointed star on the fly. In the center is a white and blue disc containing a white silhouette of George Washington.
== Symbolism ==
The flag is called the "Two Winters" flag, and was designed to pay tribute to George Washington's winter encampments in Morristown during the Revolutionary War, with each star on the flag representing an encampment. The silhouette of George Washington is a big nod to the town's revolutionary past, and the colors of the flag represent Morristown's fundamental role in the founding of the nation.
==Proposed designs==
In February 2023, the town put out a call for submissions for a new flag, and ended up receiving thirty-three designs, and hand-picked three designs. The current flag (which was labeled The Two Winters) was one of them.
===Overview===
Overview featured a design that consisted of different shapes in blue, red, and green, fimbriated in white.
====Symbolism====
This flag is a stylized map of Morristown with the Green at the center. The white stripes represent the streets around the Green including Speedwell, Morris, South Street, Washington Street, and Market Street. The use of the colors red, white, blue and green also carry symbolic significance. Red is associated with passion, energy, and determination which represent the liveliness of Morristown's community. White is associated with purity, peace, and innocence, which represents Morristown's commitment to promoting harmony and unity among residents. Blue is associated with trust, loyalty, and stability which represents Morristown's strong foundation and steadfastness in the face of challenges. Finally, Green is associated with growth, vitality, and renewal which represents the town's dedication to sustainable development and environmental conservation. Red, white, and blue together represent Morristown's vital role in the American Revolution.
===Alliance===
Alliance featured a design that consisted of a vertical tricolor of blue, white, and blue, with a white and green diamond in the center, containing a white six-pointed star in between two white smaller five-pointed stars.
====Symbolism====
The central green diamond represents the Morristown Green. The placement of the Green at the center of the flag symbolizes its role as the heart of our community. The blue stripe to the left represents Burnham Pond, which would be located to the left/west of the Green on a map. The blue stripe on the right side of the flag represents the Whippany River, which would be located to the right/east of the Green on a map. The three stars at the center of the flag represent the values of preservation, innovation, and progress. Preservation emphasizes the importance of being good stewards to Morristown's historical sites, natural serenity, and parks. Innovation recognizes Morristown's industrious past, thriving business hub, as well as its rich tradition of arts and culture. Finally, progress represents Morristown's commitment to moving forward and looking to the future. The three stars also physically represent the Alliance statue on the green, of Hamilton, Lafayette, and Washington congregating. The six point star is used to represent Washington in particular because he used six point stars on the flags at his Headquarters.
