Annin Flagmakers U.S. Virgin Islands Flag USA-Made to Official State Design Specifications, 4 x 6 Feet (Model 146870)

The United States Virgin Islands flag was adopted on May 17, 1921. It consists of a simplified version of the coat of arms of the United States between the letters V and I (for the Virgin Islands). The yellow-colored eagle holds a sprig of laurel in one talon and three arrows in the other. The blue color in the shield on the eagle's breast is the same color as that of the flag and shield of the United States. The concept or idea of a U.S. Virgin Islands flag began with the administration of Rear Admiral Summer Ely Whitmore Kitelle, who was sworn in as governor of the islands on April 26, 1921. He approached Mr. White, captain of the Grib, and Percival Wilson Sparks and asked them for suggestions for a flag design. Sparks, a cartoonist, drew a design on paper. Afterward, Sparks transferred it on heavy cotton material, then asked his wife Grace and her sister Blanche Joseph to embroider the design.
