History of the Utah State Flag The original design of the Utah state flag has origins dating back to the early 20th century. In May 1903, the governor of Utah asked members of the Daughters of the American Revolution to create a design for the state’s official flag. The finished design consisted of the state’s original seal affixed with the year “1896” against a blue field. The year 1896, of course, is significant to Utah because that’s when the state’s original seal was designed. The third and current design of the Utah state flag was adopted in 2011. It was essentially the same as the second design, but with an altered seal. In the second design, the official seal didn’t have the proper position for the year “1847.” Rather than being positioned within the shield itself, it was positioned directly over the year “1896.” Lawmakers discovered this error, and in 2011, adopted a new design that featured the correct seal.
