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 2 men standing on the sides of the pillars, stand for the cattle and mining industries of the state. An eagle is shown perched on the US shield. Both these symbols represent the allegiance of the state to the country. The number 44 on the shield indicates the Wyoming is the 44th state of the Union.
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.
