The flag was adopted in 1863. The current flag dates from May 1, 1981, when Wisconsin and 1848 were added to it. Wisconsin is the 30th state of the union, gaining statehood on May 29, 1848.
On March 25, 1863, Wisconsin adopted a blue flag bearing the state coat of arms on the obverse side and the national arms on the reverse. When the flag was readopted on April 29, 1913, the Wisconsin arms appeared on both sides.
Many were unhappy that the Wisconsin flag could not be easily distinguished from other state flags, owing to its use of the most popular American design patternâ€"a blue field with a central state emblem. Therefore, on May 14, 1980, the flag design was modified: the name of the state was added above the arms, and its date of admission to the Union (1848) was inscribed below.
The coat of arms in its present form dates from 1881, although the basic design had been adopted 30 years earlier. The U.S. motto “E Pluribus Unum†(“One out of manyâ€) and national shield appear in the center, surrounded by symbols of typical 19th-century occupationsâ€"farming, mining, manufacturing, and shipping.
As with other states who chose to display the state coat of arms or seal on the official state flag, Wisconsin found that their flag was difficult to distinguish from others. After years of effort to distinguish the Wisconsin flag in some more noticeable way, the enactment of Chapter 286, Laws of 1979 responded with the addition of the word "WISCONSIN" in white letters above the state coat of arms and the date that Wisconsin was admitted to the union, "1848" in white letters below the state coat of arms.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin flag for the future.
