The Tennessee Flag was adopted officially on 17th April 1907 by the State Legislature of Tennessee. According to the Tennessee Flag history, the designer of the flag was LeRoy Reeves, who belonged to the Tennessee Infantry's Third Regiment.
During the Civil War (1861â€"65) a motion was submitted to the legislature calling for use of the Stars and Bars as the state flag, with the substitution of the Tennessee seal for the circle of stars in the Confederate national flag, but the motion appears not to have been acted upon.
The first confirmed official flag was adopted in 1897. It had diagonal stripes of red-blue-white with the yellow inscription “The Volunteer State†(the state nickname) and the number 16, indicating the order of admission of Tennessee to statehood.
The Tennessee state flag contains a blue circle in the very center of the flag which holds three white stars and outlined in white against a bold red background. There is also a strip of blue on the fly of the flag.
These natural forms are shown within a blue circle, implying that they are connected together to form an inseparable and complete whole. The blue stripe was added to bring in a little variety to the single field of red. The simple design of the Tennessee Flag is excellent for bringing into the important geographical wealth of the state.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Tennessee flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Tennessee flag for the future.
