Flag of Connecticut

The flag of the U.S. state of Connecticut is a white baroque shield with three grapevines, each bearing three bunches of purple grapes on a field of royal blue.

The banner below the shield reads "Qui Transtulit Sustinet", Latin for "He who transplanted sustains", Connecticut's state motto.

[1] The designs were submitted by Abby Day Slocomb, the regent of the Anna Warner Bailey chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

That seal depicted 15 grapevines and a hand in the upper left corner with a scroll reading "Sustinet qui transtulit".

In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association surveyed its members on the designs of the 72 U.S. state, U.S. territorial and Canadian provincial flags.
