Description
Each Dominican Republic flag is made from tough and fray-resistant nylon fabric in the United States. The nylon used in our Dominican flags is lightweight, allowing them to fly regally in mild winds and dry quickly when wet, helping prevent mildew growth. The unique cross design and national coat of arms are digitally printed for high precision and sharp detail. The inks used in the printing process are UV-resistant, helping to prevent fading from sun exposure.
We offer the flag of the Dominican Republic in the sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. Please note that the 12” x 18” version of the flag is the civil ensign, and does not include the coat of arms in the center. Each flag comes equipped with a reinforced canvas heading and two brass grommets for reliable mounting on any standard outdoor flagpole.

Dominican Republic Flag Meaning & History
The flag of the Dominican Republic was created by Juan Pablo Duarte y Díez, one of the country’s founding fathers. It was first raised on February 28, 1844, during the Dominican War of Independence. However, this original design was different than the one we know today. There was no coat of arms in the center, both fields at the top were blue, and both fields at the bottom were red.
Following the four-year annexation of the Dominican Republic by the Spanish Empire, the modern version of the Dominican flag was introduced on November 6, 1863. The new national coat of arms was placed at the center of the design, and the blue and red fields on the right side were flipped.
The color blue represents the sky and divine protection over the country, while red stands for the blood shed by patriots during the struggle for independence. The white cross symbolizes Christianity, peace, and unity.
