The NAVA 14 Flag:
The NAVA 14 flag was designed by Dorothy Clayborne. The flag is the NAVA flag defaced in the bottom center by a blue fleur-de-lis within a yellow circle, a reference to the host city’s flag. According to the flags designer “…the blue fleur de-lison the golden bezant (bezant being the heraldic term for coin, thus standing for the Louisiana Purchase) from the St. Louis City flag at the base of the chevron. More than the Gateway Arch at the Riverfront or the Statue of St. Louis IX in Forest Park, the fleur de lis symbolized the city of St. Louis to me.”
