flag of Illinois
the flag of Illinois has
been redesigned in 1970 by Mrs Sanford Hutchison
the Design is inspired by the State's seal dating from 1868 (and designed by
State secretary Sharon Tyndale)
the Eagle is holding a blue, white and read seal with 13 stripes and 13 stars
representing the 13 original colonies
the banner the eagle is holding shows the words
"STATE", "SOUVEREIGNTY", "NATIONAL" and "UNION"
The eagle is sitting on a rock indication the dates of I8I8 (date when Illinois
joint the US)
and 168 (date when the state seal was deigned)
