Although there is a constant debate on the U.S. national flag and how it should be processed and displayed the flags of U.S. states are often neglected and some have an incredible history and really interesting designs. Do you know much about your state own flag? Or how about the state seal, shown in both the U.S. State flags? Here is a summary of the history and unusual aspects of some of our flags State!
New Jersey: The flag New Jersey has been approved in March 1896 and is something unusual among its peers because of his color Buff. The flag of the State of New Jersey is also important because the copies symbolized aspects of a battle flag used in the Revolutionary War. George Washington ordered the soldiers from New Jersey using a blue uniform with beige "coverage". The flags of each regiment was then ordered to coordinate with the color the lining of the flag so beige New Jersey was born. This flag also incorporates aspects of the state seal of New Jersey, including two women who represent freedom and agriculture, Blue Shield, which represents three plows to represent the agricultural sector and the hull of a horse ready for battle. The slogan "freedom and prosperity" acts as a border, under the emblem of the date of 1776, immortalizing the birth of our nation.
Ohio: The flag Ohio State, adopted in 1902, differs from others because it is rectangular, in fact, the Ohio state flag is the flag State and the United States away from the flag of the standard rectangular form. The shape of the flag was described as a flag, "but is actually a" swallowtail ", because they point to the final cut in two. The design incorporates a large blue triangle, which acts as the field of the flag to represent the hills and valleys of Ohio. 17 stars adorn the union 13 to represent the original colonies and 4 to represent the states that have followed, including Ohio, who was the No. 17 State of the Union. A great circle red with a white border, is located in the heart of the blue triangle and do not represent only the "O" in Ohio, but also the state's nickname, "The Buckeye State. "Three red and two white horizontal stripes extending from the triangular Union to represent the American flag.
Washington: The flag of the Washington State, adopted in 1925, with minor modifications in 1967, although conceptually simple, has several unique features. First, the flag has a green field is unusual and has the state seal, which shows a portrait of President George Washington. The Flag of Washington is the only state flag of the United States that shows a U.S. presidential portrait. It is also required by law to declare that the emblem to be sewn on both sides of a particular brand and if a company wants to reproduce, they have to send two versions of the Washington Secretary of State for approval. Due to the requirements Emblem This flag is the most expensive to produce out of any U.S. state flags.
Oregon: The flag of Oregon is unique, because two different graphic on each side of the design of the flag State. Oregon State Flag was adopted in 1925 and uses a simple color palette of gold and blue. The obverse of the flag of Ohio, which is the primary side, shows the hallmarks of Oregon with the words "State Oregon "above and the year of the State of Ohio," 1859 "below. The reverse of the flag has a picture of a beaver, the animal in Oregon. Although the construction of two duplex flag is more complex and costly design of the flag of Ohio, maintains its popularity.

I hope it will inspire you to learn more about the history of its own state flag and if you fly your American flag proudly, that it might be time to invest in their own state of the U.S. flag demonstrate their civic pride!
