Symbolism in the Wyoming State Flag: The Wyoming flag contains the silhouette of an American bison. The red symbolizes the Native Americans and the blood of the pioneers who gave their lives in Wyoming. The white symbolizes purity and uprightness. The blue symbolizes the color of the skies and the distant mountains. The bison represents the local wildlife and the state seal being placed upon the bison references the custom of branding livestock.
History of the Wyoming State Flag: In 1916 the Wyoming Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held a contest inviting the public to submit possible designs for the Wyoming state flag. A prize of $20 was offered to the winner; the DAR received a total of 37 entries. They chose a drawing by Verna Keays, a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago. On January 31, 1917, Governor Robert D. Carey signed the state flag bill into law and the bison flag was officially adopted.

Flagnations Trivia for Wyoming: In the original and state-approved Wyoming state flag design, the bison faced toward the fly to symbolize its freedom to roam the plains of Wyoming. However, after the first batch of flags were made, it was suggested that the bison face toward the hoist. Animals generally face the hoist on flags because they naturally face the wind. All Wyoming state flags produced after that picture the bison facing the hoist, even though this change was never officially adopted by the Wyoming legislature.
