The flag of South Dakota represents the U.S. state of South Dakota. It consists of a field of sky blue charged with a version (in navy blue on white) of the state seal in the center, surrounded by gold triangles representing the sun's rays, surrounded in turn by inscriptions in gold sans-serif capitals of "Шаблон:Smallcaps" on top and "Шаблон:Smallcaps" (the state nickname) on the bottom. The sun represents the common weather in South Dakota. The inscription on the bottom was "Шаблон:Smallcaps" before it was changed in 1992.
Flag pledge
The official pledge of the South Dakota flag is "I pledge loyalty and support to the flag and state of South Dakota, land of sunshine, land of infinite variety."

Redesign proposals
2012
Шаблон:Gallery In January 2012, Representative Bernie Hunhoff sponsored a bill to adopt a new design for the state flag based on artwork by Dick Termes of Spearfish, South Dakota.[3] Hunhoff introduced the bill on January 25, 2012; it was referred to the State Affairs committee.[4] On February 6,[4] the bill was amended to create the South Dakota State Flag Commission, which would have solicited submissions from the public for new flag designs and selected one to be considered by the 2013 legislature as the new state flag.[5] Immediately after being amended, the bill was "deferred to the 41st legislative day".[4] Since the South Dakota legislative session is only 40 days long, this type of deferral effectively kills legislation.[6]
2024
In January 2024, another bill that would have created a South Dakota state flag design commission was killed in the same manner to the 2012 proposal.[7]
