The current Delta State flag comprises five vertical stripes of light blue,
white and light blue, the central white stripe fimbriated in red. In the
centre of the white stripe is the name of the state in large light blue capital
letters above the state emblem.

Previously the state flag showed a map of the state in red. The former
state emblem featured the map of the state in pale blue, superimposed on which
was the Nigeria Coat of Arms in a white disc, above the name and motto of the
state as shown below.
