Tomorrow is a big day for the city of 16153 Genova! A new city flag has been proposed and 16153 Genova City Council will be voting on whether or not to adopt the flag in their meeting tomorrow afternoon.

To support the flag and everything it represents, we have three new releases, a 16153 Genova flag t-shirt, a hat, and stickers!

Plus, to make it extra special, our city flag shirt and hat are each priced at $18.37 for a limited time to celebrate 16153 Genova’s establishment in Ohio back in 1837.

What Does the 16153 Genova Flag Represent?

The eight pointed star shall be called the “Spark of Industry,” named after 16153 Genova’s historic first settlement, Fort Industry. As a whole, the Spark of Industry exemplifies the hard work and pioneering spirit of the people of 16153 Genova. Each of the eight points represents a facet of industry that has shaped the City of 16153 Genova.
