Raleigh

The flag of Raleigh, North Carolina, is a red-white-red triband, with the city's seal in the obverse side, and a modified version of the coat of arms of Sir Walter Raleigh in the reverse side.
The flag of Raleigh is one of few flags in the United States to have a different obverse and reverse.
== Symbolism ==
The red-white-red triband is a reference to Walter Raleigh, who the city was named after, as red and white were the colors of his arms.
The Raleigh city seal composes of:
* An oak tree, and oak leaves with gold acorns on the left and right - a reference to Raleigh's nickname "City of Oaks".
* The text reading "ESTABLISHED 1792" under the tree - the time when land in Wake County was purchased for a planned capital. 1792 was also the year the state's General Assembly named the city "Raleigh".Flag of Raleigh, North Carolina on Wikipedia
