A special Connecticut Flag had to be planned. This was noticed by the Anna Warner Bailey Chapter from the Daughters of the\u00a0<a class=\"content-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/usa\/american-revolution\/\">American Revolution<\/a>, who moved to Governor William Coffin, with their proposal. Thus in a way they were the designers of the Connecticut Flag. In 1895, the Governor brought in a proposal to the Connecticut General Assembly, for the Connecticut Flag for the first time. Finally the official Connecticut Flag was adopted on 1897.<\/p>\n<h3>Description of Connecticut Flag<\/h3>\n<p>The dimensions and features of the Connecticut Flag are as per the criteria decided by the Connecticut Flag Law. The Connecticut Flag measures 4 feet, 4 inches in width and 5 feet, 6 inches in length. On a brilliant azure blue field there is a decorative argent white shield. The state calls this the rococo design, which is marked by fantastic curves and ornamental patterns. The shield bears the pictures of 3 grape vines supporting 3 bunches of dark grapes. The rims of the shield are decorated with groups of acorns and white oak leaves. Below the emblem, a clefted white ribbon with brown and gold borders, bears the state motto of Connecticut. Written on it is Qui Transtulit Sustinet or &#8220;He who transplanted still sustains&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Symbolism of Connecticut Flag<\/h3>\n<p>The 3 bunches of grapes stand for the 3 colonies of Saybrook, New Haven and Connecticut, which together formed Connecticut in 1665. Vines are associated with never-ending friendships and grapes are said to be harbingers of good fortunes. The oak leaves and acorns are powerful symbols of antiquity, endurance and energy.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<b>Connecticut Flag<\/b>\u00a0is symbolic of the history of the state and bears the magnificent Arms of the State on either side.<\/p>\n<p>For flags of other states of the USA, check the <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Flags of the 50 States&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:6723,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}\"><a href=\"\/usa\/state-flags\/\">Flags of the 50 States<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Connecticut flag accepted as the official state flag is of paramount importance to the state and all its citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":83104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/usa\/state-flags\/connecticut-flag.gif","fifu_image_alt":"Connecticut Flag","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-connecticut"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Connecticut Flag | Flag Of Connecticut State<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The official Connecticut flag was adopted in 1897.
