[edit] Summary

Description

The Vermont state flag—as adopted on 01 May 1804—was a 17 stars-and-stripes U.S. flag with “VERMONT” embroidered along the top.
The colours are from the U.S. flag; White, Old Glory Blue (Pantone 281, #002664), and Old Glory Red (Pantone 193, #BB133E).
Note: Vermont expected a change in the U.S. flag from 15 to 17 stars-and-stripes with the addition of Tennessee and Ohio to the Union. (Much as it changed from 13 to 15 stars-and-stripes with the addition of Vermont and Kentucky) The U.S. flag did not actually change until 1818 (20 stars and 13 stripes), and so this Vermont state flag had more stripes than the official U.S. flag.
