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.
The flag of Wisconsin consists of a blue base, with the state seal in the center of the flag. Wisconsin is written above the state seal in white and 1848 is written below it.
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.
The national motto and shield represent Wisconsin's loyalty to the United States. Supporting the shield is a sailor and a miner, who represent labor on land and at sea. At their feet is a cornucopia overflowing with fruit and vegetables. This represents abundance and prosperity. There is also a lead pyramid consisting of 13 ingots. The lead represents mineral wealth and 13 represents the 13 original states of the Union.
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.
