The History of the Bootblack Pride Flag

Designed by Jesse 'Spanky' Penley, Mid-Atlantic Bootblack 2004

After two years or so of community debate, on July 4th, 2005 Jesse ‘Spanky’ Penley came up with the design that would eventually become the accepted Boot Black Pride Flag. The flag design was premiered at International LeatherSir & International Leatherboy 2005 weekend in Atlanta, GA on Oct 6th, 2005.

Using the Leather Pride colors, he used a diagonal stripe to differentiate from the leather pride flag. The flag only uses three stripes, two blue, and one white. The width of the stripes, signify the wide range of people who are, and appreciate boot blacks. The unisex boot, stands for the non-gender specific nature of boot blacking. The large red heart positioned behind the boot, signifies the heart that the bootblack puts behind his or her boots. The formal bootblack pride flag was made slightly different from the mainstream boot black pride flags. The addition of extra grommets down the edge of the flag, so as to be able to be “boot-laced” to the flag.
