A Brief History of the Maine State Flag
Adopted: June 16, 1909
The coat of arms of the State of Maine is placed on a blue field of the same shade of blue in the flag of the United States. Adopted by the Legislature of 1909.
Motto: Dirigo (I lead)
Maine's state flag has its origins in the years following statehood. Maine was admitted to the Union in 1820, but the state did not adopt an official flag for nearly a century.
The 1901 Flag — Maine's first official state flag was adopted in 1901. It featured a buff (cream-colored) background with the state coat of arms at the center and a pine tree and North Star in the corners. This design was relatively simple and reflected the symbolic elements already associated with Maine.
The 1909 Redesign — The current flag was adopted on February 23, 1909, replacing the earlier version. It follows the common "blue field" pattern used by many U.S. states: a dark blue background bearing the state coat of arms at its center. The coat of arms depicts a moose resting beneath a pine tree, a farmer and a sailor standing as supporters on either side, and the North Star above with the state motto Dirigo ("I lead" or "I direct") on a ribbon below. A decorative border of laurel and blueberry completes the design.
Symbolism — The moose and pine tree represent Maine's wilderness and natural resources. The farmer and sailor nod to the state's agricultural and maritime heritage. The North Star reinforces the motto Dirigo, signaling Maine's aspiration to be a guiding light — apt for a state at the northeastern tip of the nation.
Modern Reform Efforts — In recent decades, Maine has been part of a broader national conversation about state flag design. Flag enthusiasts and vexillologists (flag scholars) frequently criticize "seal-on-a-bedsheet" designs like Maine's for being too complex and difficult to recognize at a distance. There have been periodic proposals to adopt a simpler, more distinctive design — often featuring just a green pine tree on a white or blue field — but as of 2026, the 1909 flag remains the official state flag.

How long should a flag last?
This is the most common question asked in the industry and the most difficult to answer. No two flags will wear the same due to weather conditions and how often the flag is flown. Our flags offer the best stitching and highest quality materials to get your flag off to a great start.
How can I prolong the life of my flag?
Do not hang a flag where the wind will whip it against rough surface, such as tree branches, wires or cables or the outside of your home or building. Inspect your flags regularly for signs of wear. Repair any minor rips or tears right away this can be mended easily with a sewing machine or sewing kit. Keep the surface of the pole free of dirt, rust or corrosion that could damage or stain your flag.
Can I wash or launder my flag?
We recommend that you hand-wash your flag with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can also use a dry cleaning service.
Is it okay to fly my flag during heavy winds or inclement weather?
Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag.
Can I fly other flags on the same pole as a USA Flag?
Yes, as long as your pole is large enough to support the weight of the flags. The USA Flag must always fly at the top. The flag underneath should be at least one foot lower and be one size smaller than the USA Flag. Flags of other countries are not to be flown beneath the USA Flag.
How do I properly dispose of a flag?
If your flag is significantly faded, torn or tattered it is time to retire your flag. Your flag should be retired privately in a dignified manner. In addition, many local community organizations have flag disposal centers that will dispose of your flag for you.
