Coat of arms on white background (unofficial flag)

Remember Mexican states do not have flags; they always use the coat of arms of the state on a white background.
Marc Junele, 11 May 1998

Another report about unofficial mexican states� flags refers that these very same state coats of arms are used in the central panel of a mexican tricolor, mainly for turistical purposes (some reports refer it�s exogenous usage, especially in border line US locations).
