Pennsylvania State Flag
Pennsylvania's State Flag is composed of a blue field on which
is embroidered the State Coat of Arms. The first State Flag
bearing the State Coat of Arms was authorized by the General
Assembly in 1799. An act of the General Assembly of June 13,
1907, standardized the flag and required that the blue field
match the blue of Old Glory.
