Flag of Wyoming

The current flag of the U.S. state of Wyoming was introduced after a design competition on January 31, 1917.

It consists of the silhouette of an American Bison in white, which is aligned to the left, on a blue background; the whole framed by a thin white first and then a slightly wider red stripes.

The bison ( generally called buffalo in the U.S. ) refers to the nickname of the state, the " Buffalo State " ("The Buffalo State"). The bison were a last refuge in Yellowstone National Park.

Wyoming's burned the seal appears on the side of the bison. In the center of the inner ring of the seal is a woman with a bar on which a banner with the inscription " Equal Rights " ( equality ) depends. Wyoming was one of the first states which still demanded equal rights for women in the 19th century.
