Alternate US Flags: Illinois

Published:
2.3K Views

Description

Illinois' state motto of "State Sovereignty, National Unity" is represented by the central emblem which shows a large red star which symbolises the state of Illinois and its sovereignty, surrounded by a ring of 20 smaller states symbolising the 20 existing states of the Union which Illinois joined when it became the 21st state in 1818. The flag of Chicago, the state's most populous city, is recalled by the six points of the star representing Illinois in the emblem. Surrounding the star are six outwards pointing arrows to symbolise Illinois' central position in the country and its role as a transportation hub. Lake Michigan and the state's rivers are symbolised by the blue stripe, while the outer gold stripes symbolise Illinois' nickname of the "Prairie State".
