What are the designs on the Kentucky flag and what do they represent?
The Kentucky flag depicts the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s seal on a navy blue field (typical of about half of all American state flags), surrounded by the words “Commonwealth of Kentucky” above and sprigs of goldenrod, the state’s flower, below. The seal portrays a pioneer dressed in buckskin to the left and a statesman dressed in a suit to the right, embracing one another. The official explanation of the men is that they are to represent all frontiersmen and all statesmen. The state motto: “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” circles them.
