The flag consists of a red saltire, St. Andrew's Cross, on a white background, with the state seal superimposed on the center. The design was approved by a popular referendum in 1900. The current design has been in use since 1985, after the seal's graphics were improved and officially sanctioned for use by state officials.
The flag looks simillar to that fo Alabaam's, because of their Spanish past, but both were definitely patterned after the battle flags of the Army of Northern Virginia (ANV)- under which the bulk of the troops from both states fought.
