"Colors: The canton has white stars on dark blue, 7 red and 6 white stripes; the field as a white ribbon with blue lettering and five stripes (from top to bottom) of blue, orange, red, white, and green."

"Unfortunately, the symbolism of the stripes in this design is not known, but the motto is clear. Allegiance to the Union, of which Florida had recently become a part, is indicated by the national flag in the canton."
