Wisconsin flag

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Normal or de jure version of a flag? Flag of Wisconsin

The flag of Wisconsin is a blue flag with the Wisconsin seal centered on it.

It was officially designed in 1863 because regiments from Wisconsin wanted a flag for the battlefield. In 1981 the flag was changed; the word "Wisconsin" was inserted at the top and "1848" at the bottom. In 1848 Wisconsin joined the United States as a state.

In the middle, under the lettering Wisconsin and above the year 1848, is the state coat of arms from 1851, which shows a sailor and a miner as a shield holder as symbols of work on land and at sea.
