Flag of Mobile, Alabama
The official flag of Mobile is a flag which represents the seal of the six flags that have flown over the state of Alabama before and since it became a state.[1] The flag was adopted in December 1968 after one was suggested by Commissioner Lambert C. Mims. The original seal which was used in the flag was adopted in 1961.[2]
