The Wyoming State Flag was adopted by the State Legislature on 13th January 1917. From the Wyoming Flag history, it is has been gathered that the state did not possess an individual flag even in 1916. On the proposal of Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, a professor at the University of Wyoming, a flag drawing contest was held. The winner, Miss Verna Keays was thus the designer of the Wyoming Flag.
The flag of Wyoming consists of a blue center base, which is outlined in thin white and then bordered with a wider, red outline. In the center of the flag is a white bison with the state seal centered on it.
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 red, white, and blue colors of the state flag are the same as those of the national flag. The red on the border is a symbol of the native Americans who inhabited Wyoming long before settlers came, and also represents the blood of pioneers who gave their lives to claim the soil. White is a symbol of the purity and uprightness of Wyoming. Blue is for Wyoming's sky and mountains and is also a symbol of fidelity, justice, and virility.
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.
