Minnesota
Worn from:
9 April 1970 - Current.
The shield is blue and white, the colors of the Minnesota flag;
The wavy bar across the lower half of the shield, symbolizes water,
as the name "Minnesota" is said to be derived from the Sioux Indian
language and means "water tinted like the sky" or "sky tinted water."
A star in the upper half of the shield symbolizes the North Star,
as Minnesota is widely known as the "North Star state."
