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 first flags were printed this way, and though Wyoming legislation has not officially recognized this change, Wyoming flags have been printed with the bison facing the staff since 1917.
The shield has a star with 44 written on it. The shield and eagle signify Wyoming's loyalty to the Union and 44 represents Wyoming as the 44th state. The dates on the sides of the national shield represent two important moments in Wyoming's history: 1869 is the year the Wyoming Territorial government was formed and 1890 is the year Wyoming was admitted to the Union.
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.
