The flag of the U.S. Virgin Islands features a simplified design dominated by a white field, a golden-yellow eagle, and three blue and white bands. The central figure on the flag is a version of the Great Seal of the United States, represented by the eagle holding an olive branch and three arrows. This symbolism reflects the islands’ connection to the United States and a commitment to both peace and readiness to defend. The eagle’s chest bears a blue shield with a white cross, mirroring the cross from the Danish West Indies’ coat of arms, which acknowledges the islands’ history under Danish rule before being transferred to the United States in 1917. The three blue bands, interlaced with white, signify the major islands—Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix. Overall, the flag’s colors of blue, white, and yellow represent the sky, aspiration, and the islands’ bounty and beaches, respectively.
