Description
Fly your Alabama flag with pride. This American-made design is crafted for lasting use outdoors or a striking indoor display.
Our Alabama flags are made of quick-drying nylon, which is resistant to rain and sun damage. Thanks to its nylon construction, this authentic Alabama flag is lightweight enough to fly majestically, even in a light breeze. The red saltire is digitally printed with UV-resistant inks for a bright and bold color.
These Alabama state flags are available in the sizes 12” x 18’, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, 6’ x 10’, 8’ x 12’, 10’ x 15’, and 12’ x 18’. The 3’ x 5’ flag is the most popular among our customers and is an excellent fit for our 6’ tangle-free pole.
Flags that are sized 6’ x 10’ and under are equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for secure attachment to an outdoor flagpole. 8’ x 12’ and larger Alabama flags feature nylon rope and thimbles for added durability.

Alabama Flag Meaning & History
Alabama joined the United States in 1819 as the 22nd state admitted to the Union. However, the state would not adopt a unique flag until 1861, when it adopted a double-sided flag. This flag depicted Lady Liberty on the front and a cotton plant and rattlesnake on the reverse side. The flag was flown for a month until it was damaged by a severe weather event and taken down.
Another flag wouldn’t be adopted until a few years later, when Representative John W. A. Sanford Jr. introduced legislation in 1895. Sanford’s design was simple: a red diagonal cross on a white background. This symbol, also known as the Cross of Burgundy, is based on the cross that St. Andrew, one of Jesus’ apostles, was crucified on. Florida’s state flag also features a red saltire, due to Alabama and Florida’s shared history as the location of Spanish Florida in the 16th century.
