Ohio State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #195218 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag is the only non-rectangular U.S. state flag, shaped like a swallowtail pennant. Its design includes three red and two white horizontal stripes, a blue triangular canton with 17 white stars (representing Ohio as the 17th state), and a central red circle outlined in white symbolizing the letter “O” and the state’s nickname, “The Buckeye State.” Adopted in 1902, it was designed by John Eisenmann and remains a proud emblem of Ohioan identity.
