Illinois State Flag

Description

Illinois State Flag History

Illinois State Flag designed in 1913 by Lucy Derwent, but redesigned in 1970 by Mrs. Sanford Hutchinson. The flag’s design is based upon the state’s seal. The flag has a white background, and much of the Illinois state seal pictured in the center. There is a bald eagle perched on a rock holding a red, white, and blue shield in its talons. The shield has 13 stripes and 13 stars, representing the original 13 colonies of the USA. The eagle is holding a banner in its beak which reads “STATE,” “SOVEREIGNTY,” “NATIONAL,” and “UNION.” The word sovereignty is upside down. The rock has the dates 1818 and 1868 written on it; 1818 refers to the year Illinois became a state and 1868 refers to the date the state seal  redesigned. More on the Flag of Illinois.
