3x5 Wyoming State Flag For Sale Made with bright, vibrant, and durable Solormax Nylon. 2 brass grommets Indoor/Outdoor Flag Made in America Sold by Americans The Wyoming State Flag has the same colors of red, white, and blue as the national flag. The flag is a field of red with a blue rectangle in the center that has a thin white border. In the center of the field of blue sites a mighty white bison with the Wyoming state seal on the bison. The red is said to represent the native Americans who were in Wyoming long before the settlers as well as the blood of the pioneers who spilled their blood to claim the land. Purity and uprightness are represented in the whiteness of the flag while the blue represents justice, fidelity, virility, and the Wyoming skies. The WY State flag was officially adopted in 1917 after a 1916 contest for flag designs. The winner received $20 (almost $500 factoring in inflation.)

A draped statue-like figure stands in the center holds a staff with a ribbon which reads "Equal Rights." This represents the fact that women have enjoyed equal rights in Wyoming since 1869. The statue sits on a platform with the mighty eagle underneath of it. Under the Eagle is a shield with a star on top with the number 44 to show Wyoming as the 44th state. The shield has 13 stripes representing the original 13 colonies of America. On the sides next to the shield are ribbons which read "1869" and "1890" which are the years of the organization of Wyoming government and it's year of admission to the Union respectively.
