Official Missouri tartan
I know at one point the St Andrews Society of St Louis was trying to get an official Missouri tartan approved by the state legislature, the "Show Me Tartan". Has anyone heard whether they were successful? I have done some searching and cannot find anything about it. I know that some of the rabble are connected in the tartan world and might know more than I can find.
Below is the tartan that was submitted as the winning design. It was, as the St Andrews site says
"The design is derived from four inspiring symbols of the state of Missouri, the Eastern Bluebird, the Missouri Mule, the Crescent Moon, and the Bear. The green and blue lines represent the fields,rivers,woodlands, streams, and Ozark Mountains of Missouri. The light blue, red, and white stripes represent the Eastern Bluebird and ideals found in our state flag: vigilance, justice, valor, and purity. The first band of brown represents the Missouri Mule, and therefore our steadfastness, sturdiness, and industriousness. The narrow band of light blue crossing the Ozark Mountains represents the Crescent Moon, reminding us of our potential for prosperity and our status as the second state to be forged out of the Louisiana Purchase. The second band of brown represents the Grizzly Bear, a symbol of strength. Hence, this pattern stands for: vigilance and justice, valor, purity, steadfastness, hope, and strength."
