The origin of the Arizona Flag goes back to the National Rifle Matches held at Camp Perry in 1910. This event happened before Arizona had become an official member of the Union. Every state rifle team carried its individual emblem nor flag. This concept gave birth to an idea in the minds of the Arizona Rifle Team members, who did not possess any flag.
Members of the visiting Arizona Rifle Team noticed that all of the other "state" rifle teams carried flags or emblems. The Arizona team had no such flag or emblem and brought this to the attention of Arizona National Guard Colonel Charles Wilfred Harris, who was serving as the team captain. The team suggested that a flag is created to represent the Arizona Rifle Team at future National Rifle Matches.
The designer of the Arizona Flag was Colonel Charles W. Harris, Arizona's adjutant general, and chief administrative officer. He had also designed the flag for the Arizona Rifle Team, that bore a resemblance to the Arizona State Flag.
Arranged by Colonel Charles W. Harris, the first standard, passed on by the Arizona Rifle Team to the National Rifle Matches in 1911, was sewn by Nan D. Hayden. In1912, Colonel Harris arranged a state standard that was similar to the flag that he proposed for the Arizona Rifle Team. Measuring four feet high and six feet wide, the standard is apportioned into a top and base half with an immeasurable five-point copper star in the center. The Arizona State Flag was gotten by the Arizona State Legislature in 1917.
Measuring four feet high and six feet wide, the flag is divided into a top and bottom half with a large five-point copper star in the center. The Arizona State Flag was adopted by the Arizona State Legislature on February 27, 1917. The blue, red, yellow and copper flag was adopted despite numerous dissenting votes and then Governor Campbell's refusal to sign the bill. Because Arizona is a western state, the rays show a setting sun. The colors of the rays refer to red and yellow in the Spanish flags carried by Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Arizona 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 Arizona flag for the future.
