	History of Maryland's Flag
		The Maryland flag has been described as the perfect state flag — bold colors, interesting patterns, and correct heraldry—a flag that fairly shouts "Maryland." The design of the flag comes from the shield in the coat of arms of the Calvert family, the colonial proprietors of Maryland.
		Probably because the yellow-and-fl "Maryland colors" were popularly identified with a state which, reluctantly or not, remained in the Union, Marylanders who sympathized with the South adopted the red-and-white of the Crossland arms as their colors.
		The cross in the Crossland arms ends in demi-fleurs-de-lis and is properly a cross flory; the cross in the Maryland flag terminates in buttons, and in heraldry is termed a cross bottony.

	On the design of American State flags... (plasticbag.org)
		This is the State Flag of Arizona, the stripes apparently representing the original thirteen colonies of the US in conquistador colours with the copper star representing the state's copper mines.
		The original flag was in fact only flown for a couple of weeks before being replaced by the flag of the United States by officials of that power.
		The flag officially predates most of the states in America itself and in its semantic cross-breeding gestures towards some of weird compromises in the state's history - apparently representing an attempt to hybridise the flags of the UK with the US.
