The flag of Jalisco consists of two equal vertical stripes of blue and gold, with the state coat of arms in the center. The width-to-height ratio of the flag is 4:7; the height of the coat of arms is three fourths of the flag height. Ribbons of the same colors may be flown above the flag, at the foot of the finial.
The coat of arms of Jalisco was officially adopted in 1989, on the 450th anniversary of the coat of arms of the city of Guadalajara, on which the state arms are based. The shield shows two lions rampant around a golden tree, on a blue field. It has a golden outline charged with seven red crosses. Above the shield is a closed helmet with blue and yellow mantling. The crest is a red flag with a golden Jerusalem cross.

Jalisco flag in the style of the Spanish flag
The Flag of Jalisco is composed from the sea and sand in blue and yellow, four main prehispanic ethnic groups and the city of Guadalajara, also known as La Perla Tapatía. The placement of the symbols are also inspired in the heraldic flag at the top of the coat of arms. By Ricardo Vazoli, 2016.

The blue and yellow are a reference to the Jalisco flag, red representing Mexico and how most of Mexican Culture originates from Jalisco. The Cross is used both on the Jalisco flag and State Seal, put on a blue background to signify the importance of Lake Chapala. virtually_choco. 2017.
