Description
Made in the USA from high-quality nylon fabric, this Argentinian flag is lightweight and designed to fly well even in gentler winds. Nylon’s lightness also means it dries quickly when wet. The stripes and Sun of May are digitally printed for clear detail and vibrant, fade-resistant color.
A white canvas header and rust-resistant brass grommets provide a simple way to attach the Argentina flag to an outdoor flagpole. Our Argentine flag is offered in the sizes 12" x 18", 2' x 3', 3' x 5', 4' x 6', and 5' x 8'. The 3’ x 5’ size is our most popular option, and a great match for our best-selling 6’ tangle-free flagpole.

Argentina Flag Meaning & History
The Argentine Republic flag was created by General Manuel Belgrano and first raised on February 27, 1812, during Argentina’s struggle for independence. Belgrano initially chose white and light blue to create the Cockade of Argentina, a circular symbol worn on hats to symbolize allegiance to the political independence movement. He then used the same colors to create the flag of Argentina, stating that the skies and clouds inspired him.
The light blue and white colors were formally recognized by the Congress of Tucumán in 1816. In 1818, the golden sun was added to the center of the white stripe. Known as the Sun of May, the emblem has 32 alternating straight and wavy rays and symbolizes the ancient Inca sun god, Inti.
