Ohio State Flag - Official Design, History, and Symbolism #37113 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag, adopted in 1902, is the only U.S. state flag that is not rectangular; its swallowtail shape resembles a pennant. The blue triangle holds 17 white stars-13 for the original colonies and 4 for states admitted before Ohio-and encloses a red disc with a white border, symbolizing the state’s buckeye tree and its nickname. Three red stripes on a white field evoke the stripes of the U.S. flag and represent valor and purity.
