Did you know Milwaukee has a flag?
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Flag_of_Milwaukee%2C_Wisconsin.svg/2000px-Flag_of_Milwaukee%2C_Wisconsin.svg.png)
It was recently voted 147th of 150 city flags. (Chicago's flag was #2, DC was #1). There is a move to replace it with this one (representing the sun rising over Lake Michigan)

The Wall Street Journal has a wonderful story about this controversy.
Surprise! Your City Has a Flag and It's Terrible
Milwaukee decided to come up with a new banner, sparking new design efforts and also a fit of nostalgia for what one critic called 'a hot mess'

I didn't realize Big Ben was in Milwaukee
BTW, I like the new flag. They should be simple and distinctive. Like a logo.

Big Ben and the London Eye apparently.

I completely agree with the poll. DC and Chicago's flags are very cool to the extent that a flag can be cool.
Also, IIRC, the Milwaukee flag was among six that were put out. I believe that people voted to select the one that would become the current flag.
Its betta then south parks no?

Is it a coincidence these are MU colors?
Doesn't the basketball team have uniforms in four main colors and aren't they all represented below?

Here are the DC and Chicago flags, voted #1 and #2 out of 150 city flags surveyed.
They are very similar

And the Milwaukee flag has a picture of a flag in the middle, and it's sorta similar to those....
