Description "This flag replicates the Sons of Liberty Flag used in the early days of the American Revolutionary War with 9 alternating red and white vertical stripes (thus paying homage to our founding fathers and invokes memories of our nations struggle for independence). There is a blue field in the upper left hand corner of the flag with a white sego lily. The sego lily is a widely known symbol for Utah, invoking memories of the state's founding, particularly the fact that early Utah pioneers relied on the sego lily bulb as a food source during the cricket plague in the early days of Deseret."
