The original version of the flag is a little different from the one being used as it showed the seal but much smaller on the field, as well as a slightly smaller ratio of 3:2.

The seal as true to the first part of the name is about coal. It shows coal miner Allen Wooley, which is references in The Dispatch's news clip as well.
