The Oregon State Flag is
the only flag that displays a different design on each side.
Adopted in 1925, the
Oregon State Flag is colored navy blue with gold lettering and
symbols. Certain occasions demand a more formal version of the
Oregon State Flag and so a "dress" or "parade" version of the
Oregon State Flag is fringed in gold.
The Oregon State Flag
face displays the words "STATE OF OREGON" above a gold shield
surrounded by thirty-three stars. The stars of the Oregon
State Flag represent Oregon
as the thirty-third state to be
admitted to the union. Below the shieldon
the Oregon State Flag, part of the state
seal, is the date "1859" in gold numerals. This is the year
that Oregon was
admitted to the union.
Depicted on the Oregon
State Flag shield, is a blazing sun setting over the Pacific
Ocean, mountains, forests and a Conestoga wagon all
representing the natural resources and splendor of Oregon and
the early settlers to the territory.
Remember that the Oregon State Flag is the only state
flag with a different design on each side. With a nickname of
"The Beaver State" one might easily guess the depiction on the
obverse side of the Oregon State Flag. Indeed, the Oregon
State Animal makes a strong showing on the Oregon State Flag.
Like many state flags, the Oregon State Flag is blue.
The Oregon State Flag also bears the state shield. |
