Description
Our Barbados flags are proudly manufactured in America from premium nylon fabric, a fray-resistant material. Nylon dries quickly, helping prevent the growth of mildew after rain. Thanks to its lightweight construction, your flag will fly even in gentle breezes. The iconic trident and bold triband colors are digitally printed for a vivid, UV-resistant design.
Each flag of Barbados comes with a sturdy canvas heading and brass grommets for easy and secure display on an outdoor flagpole. We offer this flag in sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. Our bestselling 3’ x 5’ flag is a great fit for our 6’ house-mounted pole.

Barbados Flag Meaning & History
The national flag of Barbados was adopted on November 30, 1966, on the day the country achieved independence from the British Empire. The two ultramarine stripes represent the ocean surrounding the island and the sky, while the gold middle stripe symbolizes the sand.
The black trident head in the center is broken off from its staff, signifying Barbados' break from its colonial history and its current status as an independent nation. It’s based on the trident of Poseidon, which was also present in Barbados’ colonial coat of arms.
