The town of Lincoln (8,056 inhabitants in 2000; 3,890 ha) is located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Lincoln was incorporated in 1754, comprising parts nipped from the neighbouring towns of Concord, Lexington and Weston, therefore its nickname of "Niptown". Chambers Russell, one of the most prominent supporters of the incorporation of the new town, named it after Lincolnshire, England, from where his family originated.
"The Lincoln Journal", 15 February 2007, presents the seven designs selected by the Lincoln Flag Committee:
"[...] While the town seal on a green background is among the seven possibilities, other designs include variations that include the seal of Lincolnshire, England, the town's namesake, and a flag that depicts the memorial eagle, a bronze eagle found on the library grounds. One of the non-traditional designs included is the image of a minuteman in a field, gazing over stonewalls toward the metaphorical future. Some designs are the product of the committee itself, as members looked into vexillology, the study of flags, before coming up with options.[...]
The flag committee is asking each resident to offer a first, second and third choice for a town flag, as well as any comments on possible modifications to designs.[...] Votes will be tallied after the ballot closing date of March 5, with a final preference being presented to the community at the Town Meeting."
Better images of the seven proposals are shown on the official survey leaflet, downloadable from the Lincoln municipal website.

Lincolnshire
Proportion 3:5
Adopted 24 October 2005
The official flag of Lincolnshire was unveiled at five separate ceremonies across the county on 24 October 2005.[1] The flag was chosen in a popular vote[1] organised by BBC Radio Lincolnshire along with Lincolnshire Life magazine.[1] The winning entry, designed by Lincolnshire-born Michelle Andrews, a web producer at BBC Lincolnshire, was selected from a shortlist of six designs[2] and allegedly[3] attracted thousands of votes.[4]
History[edit]
The design was the result of a two-year campaign, prompted by a letter to County News from two caravan owner readers from Moulton, to raise the county's profile.[citation needed] The campaign was taken up by BBC Radio Lincolnshire, which launched a campaign in partnership with Lincolnshire Life magazine that culminated in a vote. The campaign was supported by local businesses, who saw it as a good way to promote trade and tourism in Lincolnshire.[citation needed] In a Lincolnshire County Council poll concluded on 31 October 2005 it was asked: "Do you like the design of the new Lincolnshire Flag?". Of the 273 votes recorded, 34% said "Yes" and 66% said "No".
Design[edit]
The flag features a red cross, edged in yellow and bearing a yellow fleur-de-lys, on a background of green and blue quarters; in the jargon of blazon, Quarterly Vert and Azure, on a Cross Gules fimbriated Or a Fleur-de-Lys of the last.
The red cross is the Saint George's Cross representing England. Yellow represents the crops grown in the county, as well as the nickname "Yellowbellies" given to people born and bred in Lincolnshire. Blue represents both the sea of the East coast and the wide skies of Lincolnshire, and green symbolises the rich lushness of fenland fields. The fleur de lys is a recognised symbol of the City of Lincoln.
Now, there are 2 things that strike me about all of the above.
The first is:
" In a Lincolnshire County Council poll concluded on 31 October 2005 it was asked: "Do you like the design of the new Lincolnshire Flag?". Of the 273 votes recorded, 34% said "Yes" and 66% said "No"."
I was just wondering if @t-tony could tell me how popular is the Lincolnshire County Council.
The second thing:
....."Yellow represents the crops grown in the county, as well as the nickname "Yellowbellies" given to people born and bred in Lincolnshire. ... "
@t-tony, would it now be ok if the rest of the forum referred to you as 'Ol Yellowbelly?

PS. Quote from above: "Some designs are the product of the committee itself, as members looked into vexillology, the study of flags, before coming up with options."
I think a better definition of the term "vexillology" is: THE THOUGHT PROCESS A MAN GOES THROUGH BEFORE DETERMINING IF HIS WIFE SHOULD DRIVE HIS ZED.

(NIPTOWN) Sounds to me more like the name of a town where one could go to get a good stiff drink. Are there any places in the UK like this?
