Just change it to the seldom used and much simpler City Ensign:

If Pennsylvania were to adopt the Keystone Flag (https://keystoneflag.org), Philadelphia could adopt the same keystone pattern with our colors and symbol.

Depicting the Penn family coat of arms for the Philadelphia city flag and the Keystone on the State flag is my dream.

William Penn's coat of arms is pretty boring as a flag though. Just 3 white circles on a black bar across a white field.

Combine it with the Demi-lion present in Franklin's flag for the Pennsylvania Associators, though... and you got something BOLD. I like this one more for Philly than PA, it hasn't left my mind since the day I first saw it: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/shi2cw/comment/hv2nq87/

Could always be integrated into a more interesting design with colors I suppose.
