Description
Our red Cayman Islands flag is manufactured in the United States using nylon, a lightweight fabric that flies even in gentle breezes. Additionally, nylon’s lightness means that it is a quick-drying fabric, which helps prevent mildew growth after contact with water. The Red Ensign and national coat of arms are digitally printed for a vibrant, UV-resistant design that will resist fading even under direct sunlight.
Each Cayman Islands civil flag has a strong canvas header and brass grommets for reliable mounting on any outdoor flagpole.

Cayman Islands Red Flag Meaning & History
The ‘red flag’ of the Cayman Islands, also known as a civil ensign, is commonly flown by boats to represent their origin or connection to the country. British merchant ships initially used the Red Ensign in the early 1700s.
On the right is the Cayman Islands’ national coat of arms. Inside the shield are three green stars that stand for the inhabited islands of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. Above is a lion, which is a traditional symbol of Great Britain. On top of the shield is a turtle with a pineapple behind it, representing sailing and the country’s relationship with Jamaica, respectively.
