Jill Love, director of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement, said the prominence of the Ukrainian flag during the Russian invasion shows how a symbol can unite individuals. She hopes Utah's new flag can do just that.
Utah’s flag contains a beehive, bald eagle, sego lilies and two U.S. flags on a navy blue background.Utahns have until April 30 to submit their suggestions or ideas for a new state flag design.
“I think the goal all along of the Legislature and the governor and lieutenant governor has been to have a flag that we see ourselves in — that represents symbols of today,” said Jill Love, director of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement, which manages the initiative. Adopted in 1903, Utah’s flag contains a beehive, bald eagle, sego lilies and two U.S. flags on a navy blue background.
“When we surveyed them, a lot of people said that they liked the current flag. They didn’t want to see it go away,” Love said. “But then, when they were asked, ‘Do you see do you see yourself in it?’ ‘Does it represent you or to describe what’s on the flag?’ They couldn’t.”
