3' x 5' polyester Wyoming Flag (seal removed) with two grommets, double-stitched top and bottom edges, and a triple-stitched fly edge to reduce fraying. ✍️ The Design: The Wyoming state flag was originally created by Casper-based artist Verna Keays for a 1916 Daughters of the American Revolution competition and officially adopted on January 31, 1917. If you follow Flags For Good (or other vexillological circles) you know that sticking a complicated seal on a flag is a no-no. Adding onto an otherwise perfect flag design is even worse. So we fixed that... This clean, streamlined version of the Wyoming flag (commonly seen around the state and often seen as souvenirs) removes the seal, letting the bold American bison silhouette take center stage where it belongs. The layout features a deep blue field framed by a white inner border and a red outer border. The blue represents the wide-open skies and distant mountains of the Equality State. The white symbolizes purity and uprightness, and the red stands for the Native Americans who first inhabited the land as well as the blood of the pioneers. The central bison represents the native fauna and the strength of the state, which gained United States statehood in 1890. 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁷󠁹󠁿 Days of Celebration: Wyomingites fly this flag on Statehood Day (July 10th), during Cheyenne Frontier Days in late July, and all year round Show more
