Flag of Kansas

Common card · No. 396012

The flag of Kansas represents the U.S. state of Kansas. Designed by Hazel Avery in 1925 and adopted in 1927 after Kansas Adjutant General Milton R. McLean pushed the legislation that adopted the flag, its design features the Kansas state seal and a sunflower (the state flower) on a blue field. In 1961, the original design was modified to include the state’s name at the bottom of the flag. The flag of the Governor of Kansas closely resembles the state flag, differing only by the addition of four stars, one in each corner. On June 30, 1953, Kansas also adopted a state banner, featuring a single sunflower on a blue field. Designed by Adjutant General Joe Nickell, the banner serves as an official alternative to the state flag. A copy is often kept in the governor’s office, and it is used by the Kansas National Guard.
