The Wyoming state flag waves in the wind with the juxtaposition of two iconic symbols: the state seal—representing equality and Wyoming’s role as the first state to grant women suffrage—and the clean silhouette of a buffalo roaming the vast expanse. The seal itself bears the resemblance of a livestock brand while each color is steeped in meaning. Blue is the color of the state’s wide open skies and daunting mountains. Red represents the Native Americans whose lifeblood is in the land, along with the pioneers who gave their lives for a frontier dream. White stands for purity and uprightness.
