Michigan State Flag – 3×5 Nylon

Flag of Michigan

Michigan's third and current flag was adopted in 1911. It consists of the state seal on a blue field. In the seal, a moose and elk support a shield with a picture of man waving on the shores of Lake Michigan with a sun rising behind him. Inscriptions in Latin translate into "If you are seeking a pleasant peninsula, look around you," "I will defend," and the most famous Latin quote in the United States "E Pluribus Unum," meaning "From one, many."

Michigan's official flag was adopted by the state Legislature in 1911 with a simple description: The State Flag shall be blue charged with the arms of the State (the state coat of arms appears on both sides of the flag, and also on Michigan's state seal).

Animal symbols: Moose and Elk represent Michigan, the bald eagle signifies the United States.
