Description
If you love the Grand Canyon State, show your pride with this high-quality Arizona state flag. We offer a wide variety of sizes, including the standard flag size of 3’ x 5’.
Our Arizona flags are made in America from strong nylon, a durable material that can wave beautifully in light winds. Nylon dries quickly after contact with water, helping prevent mildew buildup after rain and humidity. These flags are printed with fade-resistant inks for vibrancy that can handle the outdoors.
We offer the state flag of Arizona 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’. Each flag comes equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for secure flying. To complete your display, pair this Arizona flag with any of our outdoor flagpoles.

Arizona Flag Meaning and History
In 1910, Colonel Charles W. Harris designed the flag we see today when the Arizona rifle team went to the national matches. Arizona had no official state flag at the time, and he wanted one to represent the territory. This flag was later adopted by Arizona’s Third Legislature in 1917.
Col. Harris’s design is split into two halves. The bottom half is the same national blue as the United States flag. The top half has thirteen alternating red and yellow rays that represent the 13 original colonies. These are designed to look like a setting sun, representing Arizona’s location in the southwest.
The red and yellow colors are taken from the Spanish flags carried by the conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540. The large copper star in the middle symbolizes that Arizona is the largest producer of copper in the United States.
