Flag of Baltimore, Maryland - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Baltimore, Maryland is a symbol representing the city's history and identity. Adopted in 1934, it features three main elements: a gold coat of arms centered on a field of dark blue, flanked by two red stripes, each containing five white stars. The coat of arms consists of a shield with six sections, symbolizing the city's original six charters. The sections display various emblems such as an anchor, a cross, and a lion, representing the city's maritime heritage, faith, and courage. Above the shield, there is a helm (a medieval helmet), and on either side of it are three feathers representing truth, liberty, and valor. The red stripes symbolize Maryland's colonial past, with each star representing one of the original 13 colonies. The five stars in the flag represent Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and the three original charters that formed the city (Towne of Baltimore Town, Baltimore Town under Lord Baltimore, and the City of Baltimore). The Flag of Baltimore serves as a visual representation of the city's rich history and its connection to Maryland and the United States.
