The State Flag of Michigan (The Wolverine State)

Where have all the wolverines gone? Long time passing... The wolverine state, alas, has no more wolverines. Hopefully,Motown won't go the way of the wolverines, the Packard, and Motown records.

The flag of Michigan depicts the state's coat-of-arms on a dark blue field. On the light blue shield the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, a man with raised hand and holding a long gun represents peace and the ability to defend his rights. The elk and moose are symbols of Michigan, while the bald eagle represents the United States.

The design features three Latin mottos. From top-to-bottom they are: On red ribbon: E Pluribus Unum, "Out of many, one", a motto of the United States On light blue shield: Tuebor, "I will defend" On white ribbon: Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you" (the official state motto)

Our version of this flag is made of light-weight polyester for durability. This large 3 foot by 5 foot flag has a reinforced hoist side, with 2 metal grommets.
