Michigan State Flag

3x5 Michigan State Flag For Sale

The state of Michigan has a dark blue flag with Michigan State's coat of arms. The coat of arms has a light blue shield with the sun rising over peninsula and lake with a man holding one arm up representing peace but in his other hand a long gun which represents the fight for the state and nation. The word "Tuebor" is inscribed on the shield which means "I will defend." Two of Michigans great animals, a moose, and elk, support the shield. Over the top of the shield, a bald eagle stands atop. This eagle represents the United States. Above the eagle, a red banner reads "E Pluribus Unum," the motto of the United States of America, which means "Out of many, one." Joining the elk and the moose is a white ribbon which reads "Si Quæris Peninsulam Amœnam Circumspice," which is the official state motto which interprets to "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."

The current Michigan flag was adopted in 1911 and is the third state flag. The first flag featured Michigan's first governor, Stevens T. Mason, on one side and the state coat of arms and "a soldier and a lady" on the other. The first flag is completely lost, and no images of it exist that have been found. The second flag, adopted in 1865, had the state coat of arms on one side and the United States coat of arms on the other side.
