The flag of the state of Maine features the state coat of arms on a blue field. In the center of the shield, a moose rests under a tall pine tree. A farmer and a seaman represent the traditional reliance on agriculture and the sea by the state. The North Starrepresents the state motto: Dirigo ("I Lead"). There are no official colors for the coat of arms, so variations in coloration can be seen in flags from different manufacturers. 

 

The blue field, however, is specified to be the same blue as in the flag of the United States. According to the official description, the flag should have a fringe of yellow silk and should have a blue and white silk cord attached to the spearhead. These embellishments are very rarely observed. The North American Vexillological Association conducted a survey in 2001 that ranked Maine's current flag as one of the worst in design. Amongst the 72 U.S. states, U.S. territorial and Canadian provincial flags, Maine's flag ranked 60th (13th worst). NAVA criticized the unoriginality of the "[state] seal on blue bed-sheet" design, which is currently used by almost half of the flags of U.S. states.
