Maine and USA Crossed Flag Pins

Posted by flagpins on March 27th, 2018

Maine and USA crossed flag pins are crafted by soft enamel. Maine and USA crossed flag pins die struck with gold finish. Each of Maine and USA crossed flag pins is individually poly bagged and fixed by a butterfly clutch back. GS-JJ can provide many different  American flag pins and state pins at the lowest price.

The flag of the state of Maine features the state coat of arms on a blue field. In the center of the shield, a moose rests under a tall pine tree. A farmer and seaman represent the traditional reliance on agriculture and the sea by the state. The North Starrepresents the state motto: Dirigo ("I Lead"). There are no official colors for the coat of arms, so variations in coloration can be seen in flags from different manufacturers. The blue field, however, is specified to be the same blue as in the flag of the United States. According to the official description, the flag should have a fringe of yellow silk and should have a blue and white silk cord attached at the spearhead. These embellishments are very rarely observed. The North American Vexillological Association conducted a survey in 2001 that ranked Maine's current flag as one of the worst in design. Amongst the 72 U.S. state, U.S. territorial and Canadian provincial flags, Maine's flag ranked 60th (13th worst). NAVA criticized the unoriginality of "[state] seal on blue bed-sheet" design, which is currently used by almost half of the flags of U.S. states.
