Michigan state flag
The Michigan flag, adopted in 1911, consists of a blue field with the State Coat of Arms displayed in the center. The Coat of Arms features 3 banners: the highest is the nation’s symbol, “E Pluribus Unum”; the second is “TUEBOR,” meaning “I will defend”; and the bottom one that reads, “Si Quæris Peninsulam Amœnam Circumspice.” The animals shown are a bald eagle (for the nation), an elk, and a moose (for the state).
All of our flags at Star Spangled Flags are 100% made in the USA from start to finish! We use a tough, nylon fabric to hold up outdoors, extra stitching on the fly end of the flag, and a special UV coating to prevent fading from the sun.
Michigan flag, Made in USA
Michigan is famous for the Great Lakes and automobiles. It’s located in the Midwestern region of the country and bordered by the Great Lakes from west to east, namely Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. Michigan leads other states when it comes to number of lighthouses, recreational boating activities, public golf courses, number of registered snowmobiles, and licensed hunters.
The state is known for many nicknames; The Great Lake State, The Wolverine State, The Mitten State, Winter Water Wonderland, The World’s Motor Capital, and America’s High Five. It is located north of Indiana and Ohio. Some locals believe that the nickname “The Wolverine State” was given by the Ohiaoans sometime in 1835 during a dispute now known as the Toledo War. Michigan is a fun state, especially if you’re into water activities. More Michigan Flag questions are .
