On May 20, 1861, the day that the secession resolution was adopted by the state of North Carolina, an ordinance to adopt a state flag was presented by Colonel John D. Whitford. A committee of seven was formed with Colonel Whitford appointed a chairman. The original ordinance stated that "...the flag of this State shall be a blue field with a white V thereon, and a star, encircling which shall be the words, "Sirgit astrum, May 20, 1775."
That the flag of North Carolina consists of a blue union, containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of said star, the circle containing the same to be one-third the width of the union.
The North Carolina Flag is a beautiful combination of the three colors, red, blue and white. The description of the North Carolina Flag is as per the instructions are given by the State.
The North Carolina Flag is composed of 2 horizontal stripes of the same width. The upper stripe is red while the lower one is pure white. The left side of the North Carolina flag bears a blue colored vertical stripe on which the letter N and C are imprinted. Between these letters is a white star with 5 points. There are 2 scrolls both below and above the letters.
The flag's field was changed from red to blue. The top bar of the fly was changed from blue to red. The gilt letters "N" and "C" were placed on either side of the white star and gilt scrolls were added above and below the star. The scroll above still displays the date of the "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence" but the date displayed in black letters on the lower scroll displays April 12, 1776, the date of the "Halifax Resolves" instead of May 20, 1861, the date of secession.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior North Carolina flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of North Carolina flag for the future.
