The flag was adopted on Jan. 31, 1917. Wyoming is the 44th state of the union, gaining statehood on July 10, 1890. The state seal was adopted in 1893 and modified in 1921.
The Wyoming State Flag has a blue base, framed first with a thin white border and then with a thicker red border. The flag's center is adorned with a white bison and the state's seal is in its center.
In Verna's original design, the bison faced away from the staff as a symbol of the freedom with which the bison had once roamed over the Wyoming plains. Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard (state regent for the DAR at the time), felt the design would be more balanced with the bison facing the staff.
The seal features a woman supporting a banner with the state's motto written on it. The motto, Equal Rights, represents Wyoming as being the first U.S. state or territory to formally give women the right to vote in 1869. The men on the sides of the pillars symbolize the state's cattle and mining industries. There is an eagle perched on the shield of the United States.
The date 1869 points out the year when the formation of the Wyoming Territorial government took place. 1890 is the notable year when the state became a formal member of the Union. The Wyoming State Flag is highly significant for featuring a galore of symbolic elements on a single plane.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Wyoming flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Wyoming flag for the future.
