The Flag Company Inc And Vermont Flag

By Barry Gold


Vermont was the fourteenth state to be admitted to the union. It was admitted in 1791. In 1792, Kentucky was admitted to the union. At this time, the United States Flag displayed thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. In 1794, the national Congress changed the official design of the United States Flag to include fifteen stars and fifteen stripes representative of the two new states of the union.

The Vermont Flag was adopted officially on 1st June 1923. According to the Vermont Flag history, the state was the 4th to gain admission into the Union. The first Vermont Flag was a militia flag designed in 1803. It was used by the Vermont soldiers at the times of the Spanish-American War, the American Civil War and during the commencement of the World War I.

In 1838 a new design was authorized for theVermont Flag, which required being coordinated with the pattern of the national flag. The Vermont Flag is described as a field of blue, with the pictorial state coat of arms present in its center. The description of this flag is in accordance with the specifications mentioned by the statute.

The general image of the coat of arms represents the agriculture of Vermont (cow, wheat, pine tree). The two branches of pine on the sides of the coat of arms signify the sprigs of pine that the soldiers of Vermont wore during the battle of Plattsburgh in 1812.

Below the shield is the state motto, "Freedom and Unity" and the name of the state are written on a red streamer. A stag's head is present above the shield. The Vermont Flag is a remarkable state symbol, which portrays various elements of the state through its seal.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Vermont 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 Vermont flag for the future.
