Missouri Flag

Our Missouri state flag is proudly constructed in the United States using high-quality nylon fabric. Nylon is a lightweight yet durable material, meaning that it can fly even in gentle winds. Additionally, nylon is quick-drying, which helps prevent mildew growth to keep your flag healthy. The design is digitally printed, adding UV and fade resistance.

HISTORY AND MEANING OF MISSOURI FLAG

Missouri did not have a state flag for almost a century after the state joined the union. In 1908, the wife of Senator Robert Burett Oliver, Mrs. Marie Elizabeth Oliver, designed a flag for Missouri. After taking multiple years and several bill attempts, the design was adopted as the state flag in 1913. 

Oliver’s design is meant to embrace national pride while still representing the Missourian people. The blue stripe symbolizes vigilance and justice. The red represents valor and the blue stands for purity. The Missouri coat-of-arms is in the center because Missouri is geographically in the middle of the United States.
