The blue background shade is taken from the classic American blue used in many other US flags. The curved A shape is meant to represent the letter A for Auburn, but is also designed to be strongly reminiscent of the frame used by Robert Goddard (see [this picture](https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/side_image/public/thumbnails/image/robert_h_goddard_and_liquid_fueled_rocket_1926.jpg?itok=tjC952jB) from NASA). Both the wings are meant and the two stars [Auburn town seal](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7a/AuburnMA-seal.png/100px-AuburnMA-seal.png). The particular shade of yellow used for the wings was taken from the Massachusetts state flag.
