Description
Show your love for the Sunshine State with a durable, American-made Florida state flag, excellent for celebrating everything from tropical beaches to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (and yes, even our own Flags.com headquarters).
These high-quality flags are digitally printed with UV-resistant inks for precise details and vibrant colors that resist fading, even when flown in direct sunlight. We offer Florida flags in various sizes and your choice of nylon or polyester fabric.
Each state of Florida flag, sized 6’ x 10’ and under, has a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for flying on an outdoor flagpole. Flags sized 8’ x 12’ and larger instead feature rope and thimbles for added support.
Nylon Florida Flag
Nylon is an excellent general-use fabric, as it is lightweight and dries quickly. Flags constructed from nylon fly easily in gentle breezes for a regal display. Our Florida state flags are available in the sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, 6’ x 10’, 8’ x 12’, 10’ x 15’, and 12’ x 18’.
The 3’ by 5’ nylon flag is our best-selling option and an excellent fit for our 6’ tangle-free pole.
Polyester Florida Flag
We recommend the durable polyester flag for those near the ocean or other saltwater environments. Polyester is heavier-duty than nylon, making it ideal for regions with more extreme weather. Our polyester Florida flags are available in sizes 4’ x 6’ and 5’ x 8’.
Please note that polyester flags are too heavy for use on most house-mounted flagpoles.
Flags made of either material should always be taken down before hurricanes.

Florida Flag Meaning & History
From 1868 to 1900, Florida’s flag depicted the state seal on a plain white background. The Floridian Governor at the time, Francis P. Fleming, recommended adding a red saltire to the design, which voters approved in a referendum. This design was adopted on November 6, 1900. On May 21, 1985, the state seal on Florida’s flag was redrawn in a different art style.
The Florida state flag features the Seal of Florida in the center and reads “In God We Trust,” the official state motto. The flag colors include a field of white with diagonal red bars, or saltire, behind the Seal. The red bars, also known as St. Andrew’s Cross, are based on the Spanish Cross of Burgundy, which the Spanish government used as a standard for the region starting in 1513. The same design can be found on the Alabama state flag, thanks to the two states’ shared history as Spanish Florida.
