Oklahoma Flag Patch Star

I made a patch with a little Okie history. Available soon.

The following copy is from @reddirtreportok
It was in the spring of 1911 that #Oklahoma Gov. Lee Cruce approved and adopted Oklahoma’s first flag which included a striking red field with a white #star in the middle, fimbriated in blue with a blue “46” in the middle of the star. The 46 is significant in that Oklahoma was the 46th state admitted into to the union in 1907.

The 46-star flag would remain the state flag until 1925, when reactionary elements in the state began to see the red flag in a negative light, associating it with Bolshevism and Communism and the red flag used during the Russian Revolution in 1917. This was also around the time the Socialist Party - once quite strong in Oklahoma - began to fall out of favor, particularly during the final year of World War I.

*Now you know ;)
