Illinois 4′ x 6′ Indoor Nylon Flag w/ Pole Sleeve & Fringe

The current flag depicts the Great Seal of Illinois, which was originally designed in 1819 and emulated the Great Seal of the United States. In the eagle’s beak there is a banner with the state motto, “State Sovereignty, National Union”. The dates on the seal, 1818 and 1868 represent the year Illinois became a state and the year in which the Great Seal was redesigned by Sharon Tyndale, who had it redesigned as he thought that the “State Sovereignty” bit was emblematic of the Civil War. ⚠ Prop 65 WARNING
