Description
Florida is known as the Sunshine State for its subtropical climate and stunning beaches that span over 8,000 miles of coastline. Home to Disney World, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and the Flags.com headquarters, it is among the top five most populous states and makes for a warm haven during the winter months.
Fly your authentic American-made Florida state flag today and make your friends jealous that they don’t live in a place where the beach is right around the corner. We would know, we live here!
Our Florida flags are available in both nylon and polyester. Nylon is an excellent general-use fabric, as it is lightweight and dries quickly. We recommend the durable polyester flag for people living close to the ocean or other saltwater environments. However, polyester flags are too heavy for most house-mounted flagpoles. Florida state flags of either material should always be taken in when preparing for hurricanes.
Each flag of Florida has a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for flying on an outdoor flagpole.

Florida Flag Meaning & History
The state flag of Florida shows off the Seal of Florida in the center of the flag and reads “In God We Trust,” the official state motto. The Florida flag colors include a sea of white with diagonal red bars, or saltire, behind the Seal. The red bars, a symbol of St. Andrews Cross, were added in 1900 to the old Florida flag so it would not appear to be a white flag of truce.
