DescriptionPittsburgh Tribune-Review article.

An excerpt...
"Pennsylvania's state flag might soon become more recognizable under legislation that passed the state House of Representatives on Monday.

The chamber voted 164-31 to add the words "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" in yellow silk block letters to the blue banner.

Backers said about half the states already include their names on their flags.

The state flag was most recently updated 100 years ago, when the background color was mandated to be the same shade as found on the national flag."
