Blue for the state’s 15,000 lakes, red for the Badgers ( a variety of collegiate athletic teams from the University of Wisconsin- Madison) and where yellow meets green – the Green Bay Packers football team.
Woven sample. Orginal weave from D C Dalgliesh had an incorrect blue.
Nov 2007 – Bill being presented to Wisconsin State legislature to approve. Large portion of tartan shown in legislature photo shows a much lighter shaded tartan than the woven sample held in the STA archives. News item on 7th March 2008
"The Assembly passed a bill Wednesday night (5th March) that would create an official state tartan, a pattern of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands of muted blue, scarlet, gray, black, dark green, dark yellow, black, and brown.
" The bill was ‘signed into law’ by Governor Jim Doyle on 7th April 2008."
