Wyoming flag

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

The current flag of the US state Wyoming was introduced on January 31, 1917 after a design competition.

It consists of the silhouette of an American bison in white, facing left, on a blue background; the whole thing framed by first a thin white, then a slightly wider red stripe.

Wyoming is one of the states whose borders were determined solely by geographic latitude and longitude. The demarcation corresponds (on a corresponding map network design ) with slight deviations to a rectangle. The red and white frame around the flag therefore symbolizes this rectangular border and location of Wyoming.

The bison in the US (commonly called buffalo) refers to the nickname of the state, the " Buffalo State " ( " Buffalo State "). The bison were given a final refuge in Yellowstone National Park .

Seal of Wyoming

Wyoming's seal appears branded on the bison's side . In the center of the inner ring of the seal is a woman with a rod on which a banner with the inscription " Equal Rights " ( equality ) depends. Wyoming was one of the first states to promote equality for women back in the 19th century.
