From https://flagchronicle.com/2026/10/18/pennsylvania-clymer-adopts-new-flag-designed-by-11-year-old/:
OCTOBER 18, 2026 - Clymer Borough Council in Pennsylvania, United States, has officially adopted a new municipal flag created by 11-year-old local resident Ryker Shirley, reports the Indiana Gazette.

The decision was finalized following an online public poll organized by Borough Manager Sonya Schrenkel on the municipality's Facebook page, where 191 residents cast ballots between September 11 and September 30. Nearly 60 per cent of voters selected Shirley's detailed design over a more simplified alternative.

The selected emblem features a central green hill with two pickaxes at its apex, surrounded by trees and minecarts entering a mine shaft at the base to signify the town's coal mining heritage. Additional elements include a map of Pennsylvania pinpointing the borough's location, the inscription "Clymer 1905," and a star rendered in a red, white, and black brick design.

Schrenkel personally purchased two physical copies of the banner, planning to display one inside the municipal building and fly the other outside below the American flag.

The young designer began investigating local vexillology two years prior and spent June developing nine prospective options before presenting two final candidates to the council in August. Shirley expressed a personal preference for his alternative submission, a traditional heraldic layout featuring a black hoist triangle, blue and green horizontal stripes, a yellow star, and pickaxes, noting its adherence to standard design principles.

However, he acknowledged that the community favoured the pictorial emblem for its explicit local symbolism. The council formally confirmed the public's choice during its mid-October meeting.
