A Banner Day: Unveiling the Design
The Pennsylvania flag is a sight to behold. Well, maybe not behold exactly. It's pretty standard state flag fare: a bold blue field (the same shade as the good ol' US of A) emblazoned with the state's coat of arms.
Fun Fact: The coat of arms features a freaking awesome bald eagle (come on, America!), a knight on a horse (because who doesn't love a good knight?), a ship (because Pennsylvania has ports, ya know, for all that cheesesteak importing), and an olive branch (because Pennsylvania is all about peace... except when it comes to the last slice of pizza).
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Not So Fast, Vexillology Fanatics! (Yes, that's a word, look it up)
Now, before you history buffs start yelling about Betsy Ross and William Penn, here's the thing: Pennsylvania's flag wasn't exactly designed overnight. There were some earlier versions used by the militia, but the official state flag we know and love today wasn't approved until... wait for it... 1907. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, picking a flag takes longer than you'd think (although, with all those cheesesteaks to eat, who can blame them?).
Side Note: There's actually a pretty cool alternative design gaining traction called the "Keystone Flag." It features the state's nickname, the keystone, in a modern three-stripe design. But that's a story for another day (and another post, perhaps?).
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
