Description

Celebrate the nation of Cameroon with our high-quality Cameroon national flag - great for outdoor flying or indoor display. Each flag is produced using pure nylon, a lightweight fabric that dries quickly after rain, helping prevent mildew growth. The tricolor and central star are digitally printed for a bold and vibrant design that is resistant to sun damage. 

Our Cameroon flags are completed with a strong canvas header and brass grommets for attachment to an outdoor flagpole. We offer these flags in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. The 3’ x 5’ size is an excellent match for our 6’ tangle-free pole.

Cameroon Flag Meaning & History

The first iteration of Cameroon’s current national flag was adopted in 1957, when it was just a green, red, and yellow tricolor without a star. The modern design was instituted in 1975, adding a yellow star known as ‘the star of unity.’ 

The colors used for the stripes are traditionally used to symbolize Pan-Africanism, though each has a specific meaning as well. The green is for the forests in southern Cameroon, the yellow represents the sun and the savannas in northern Cameroon, and the red stands for unity, similar to the star.

Senegal Flag vs Cameroon Flag

The Senegal flag is almost identical to that of Cameroon, except that the star on Senegal’s flag is green instead of yellow. Additionally, the meanings behind each color are different. The green stripe and star on Senegal’s flag stands for religion, the yellow is for economic prosperity, and the red symbolizes the blood of the country’s citizens.
