Connecticut's State flag is five feet six inches in length and four feet four inches in width. It is not as wide as most other state flags. The background color of the flag is azure blue silk, which represents a cloudless sky.

There is a white shield in the center with a gold and silver border. The shield has a picture of three grapevines, which represent the first three towns in Connecticut. They also represent the early settlers' belief in God. They believed that God had brought them from England and planted them, or settled them, in the New World where he would sustain them, or help them survive and grow.

They got this idea from words in the Bible, and this is the meaning of Connecticut's state motto. Just below the shield is a white banner with a gold border. On the banner, in dark blue, is the motto written in Latin: "Qui Transtulit Sustinet", which means, "He who transplanted still sustains."

Connecticut's state flag was adopted in 1897.
