Pennsylvania State Flag History Today

By Ben Slow


The Pennsylvania flag was adopted in the year 1907, by the State General Assembly, when an act describing the proper design of the flag was accepted and standardized.

According to the history of the Pennsylvania Flag, it is gathered that blue shade had to perfectly match with that of the US flag. The first flag for Pennsylvania was sanctioned in 1799 and displayed the Pennsylvania coat of arms, which was embroidered on each side.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania flag is composed of the state’s coat of arms embroidered in the center of a dark blue background. The Pennsylvania coat of arms depicts two horses with red harnesses, one on either side, standing on their hind legs facing a shield. The shield depicts the strengths of Pennsylvania â€" a ship carrying commerce, a farming plow, and three sheaves of wheat. Perched atop the shield is an eagle. Directly below the shield is an olive branch and a corn stalk crossing limbs. At the bottom of the coat of arms is a banner that reads “Virtue, liberty, Independence” â€" the state’s motto.

The flag of Pennsylvania consists of a blue base with the state coat of arms in the center. The American eagle on top of the arms represents Pennsylvania's loyalty to the United States. The shield, supported by two horses, features a ship which represents commerce; a plough, representing Pennsylvania's natural resources; and three wheat sheaves which stand for fertility.

This shield in the Pennsylvania Flag depicts 3 pictures. The first one is that of a ship that stands for the state's commerce. The second is a plow that represents the state's agriculture and natural resources. Lastly, the 3 sheaves of wheat are symbols of fertility and fecundity. Below the shield a cornstalk and olive branch represent success and peace. Beneath it is the state motto "Virtue Liberty and Independence", beautifully written on a red ribbon.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania flag for the future.
