Wyoming Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Equality State

The Wyoming flag features a silhouette of an American Bison with the state seal branded on its side. To ensure this iconic "monarch of the plains" lasts through Wyoming's extreme winters and summer sun, choose the right 100% American-made fabric:

• For High-Wind & Open Range: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Wyoming Flags. This is our "Gale-Force" fabric, designed specifically for the Red Desert, Laramie, and Rock Springs. The 2-ply construction is vital for Wyoming because the central bison logo creates a larger "sail area" than simple striped flags; this fabric provides the structural integrity to resist shredding in sustained 40-MPH winds.

• For High-Altitude UV & Brilliant Color: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Wyoming Flags are the #1 choice for homes in Cody, Gillette, and Riverton. These flags are vapor-jetted with specialized UV-inhibitors to protect the deep "Old Glory Blue" and "Old Glory Red" from the intense ultraviolet exposure found at 6,000+ feet of elevation.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Wyoming flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows the Wyoming Statutes § 8-3-102. We ensure the bison is facing the "correct" way (toward the hoist) as standardized in 1917.

What size Wyoming Flag should I buy?

While our Heavy-Duty Nylon is the standard for color, and our 2-Ply Polyester is built for High Plains winds, the scale of your flag is vital. Because the Wyoming flag has a distinct red border, it can appear smaller than other flags from a distance if undersized. Before you order, see our Wyoming State Flag Size Guide to learn why a 20ft residential pole typically requires a 3x5ft flag, whereas a 25ft pole—common for Ranches and local businesses—is better suited for a 4x6ft design.

The Meaning of the Wyoming Flag: The Monarch of the Plains

Designed by Verna Keays and adopted in 1917, the Wyoming flag is a powerful tribute to the state's heritage. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Equality State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The American Bison: Known as the "Monarch of the Plains," the bison represents the local fauna and the state's strength.

• The State Seal: Branded on the ribs of the bison, the seal represents the custom of branding livestock. It features the motto "Equal Rights," commemorating Wyoming's status as the first state to grant women the right to vote.

• The Colors: The red border symbolizes the Native Americans and the blood of the pioneers; the white represents purity and uprightness; and the blue represents the sky and the mountains.

• The Orientation: Originally, the bison faced away from the flagpole, but it was changed in 1917 so the "monarch" faces the wind (the hoist), symbolizing a state that meets challenges head-on.

• Technical Accuracy: We use official "Old Glory" color codes and ensure the seal details—including the figures of agriculture and mining—are rendered with high-fidelity precision.
