RVD: I think mentioned before that a blank white square or rectangle is boring. They litter New England, and have since the days of New England Interstate Trails of the 1920's. This shield gives more identity to the Pine Tree state. Blue was chosen as a background color because it offers better visibilty and recognizability in forested areas during the summer than green, and would show up in the snow as well.
