Utah State Flag History Today
by Alfred Long
The design of the seal was adopted in 1850 by the Territory of Utah and modified by the artist Harry Edwards when Utah became a state in 1896. He added a bald eagle and crossed U.S. flags to indicate the protection of the United States and Utah’s loyalty to the nation.
The current Utah Flag was adopted by the state in the year, 1913, when certain revisions were made to the original design of 1896. From the records of the Utah Flag history, it is known that the present flag was commissioned by the Sons and Daughters of Utah Pioneers, for gifting it to the battleship Utah. It became the official Utah Flag in the following year.
In October of 1903, it was determined that an error had been made in the State Seal depicted on the flag and it was also determined that the flag that had been presented and accepted by the Governor was not an official state flag but rather would serve as the Governor's regimental flag. An official state flag would have to comply with an act of the state legislature and thereby be approved by the state legislature.
The favorable reaction to this unauthorized modification led to a change in the law on March 11, 1913. The new flag, widely promoted by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (a cultural organization similar to the DAR), remained unaltered for nearly a century.
Written above the beehive is the state motto, "Industry." Outside the structure of the beehive are the state's national flowers or sego lily in full bloom. These flowers truly symbolize peace. Below the hive, the state name in written in bold white letters. 1847 is also known as the year of the Mormons or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 1896 is the year when Utah was successful in becoming a member of the Union. The Utah Flag skillfully incorporates the national emblems like the bird and flag of USA onto its fabric.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Utah 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 Utah flag for the future.
