Wisconsin
statesseal-on-blueanimaltext
A blue field with the state coat of arms featuring a sailor and a miner supporting a shield, a badger crest, a cornucopia, and the state name and date '1848', with the motto 'Forward'.
Wisconsin added the state name and '1848' to the flag in 1981 because the original design was too often confused with the similar New York state flag.
Adopted: 1981
