Eritrea Flag

These Eritrea flags are constructed in the USA from high-quality nylon, a fabric that flies easily, even in gentle breezes. Nylon is a quick-drying material that helps prevent mildew buildup after rain and humid weather. The distinctive design is digitally printed to create vibrant, fade-resistant colors, even under direct sunlight.

Our Eritrean flag has a robust canvas header and brass grommets for reliable attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer this flag in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. Look at our table of standard pole heights and their matching flag size to help you decide which option is right for you.

Eritrea Flag Meaning & History

Following colonization by the Italian and British Empires, Eritrea was added to Ethiopia as an autonomous state in 1952. However, over the following decade, Ethiopian Emperor Halie Selassie dissolved the Eritrean government and occupied the region. The modern flag is based on that of the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front, an organization that fought for independent self-rule. Eritrea won the war and became independent in 1993.

The red triangle refers to the country's geographic shape and represents the bloodshed in the struggle for independence. The green stands for agriculture, and blue is for the sea. On the left is a gold olive branch encircled by a wreath, symbolizing peace.
