My family settled in PA in 1680 when land grants were given based on how much they could walk around. Dude hoofed it because they owned a ton of land.

So what you're saying is, our coat of arms is badly out of date?

I guess I'm not clear on the point of a coat of arms then, if it is designed to represent a state's values and interests at an increasingly-remote moment in time. Seems like a recipe for irrelevancy.

But like every state's history involves agriculture, trade, and the "actions and thoughts" of people.

The coat of arms is not badass and underrated. It says nothing remarkable or special about Pennsylvania. It inspires no feelings of state pride.
