Ohio Flag Meaning: The flag uses red, white and blue; the national colors of the United States. The blue triangle represents the state's hills and valleys and the stripes stand for Ohio's roads and waterways. The white circle stands for the 'O' in Ohio and its red centre symbolizes a buckeye; the state's nickname.
Red represents the blood shed by the Patriots who fought for independence. The colors of the US flag were taken from the colors of the British flag. At the time the flag was designed, the red did not mean anything in particular. Officially the red in the flag does not stand for anything. Since the creation of the flag many have suggested that the red could stand for different things such as the blood shed to bring about independence or courage, but these are meanings suggested after the fact and never officially attached to it.
