Description
Show your pride in the Sunflower State by flying an authentic Kansas flag!
Our state flag of Kansas is proudly made in the United States from premium nylon fabric. Its lightweight nylon construction ensures that this flag will fly regally, even in mild winds, and will dry quickly after rain to help prevent mildew growth. The design is digitally printed for precise details and vivid colors, adding UV and fade resistance.
We offer Kansas flags in 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’. Each flag comes equipped with a strong canvas heading and brass grommets for easy installation on any of our outdoor flagpoles. Flags sized 8’ x 12’ and up are instead finished with nylon rope and thimbles to support their weight. We've compiled a table of recommended matches to help you decide which flag size best fits your pole.

Kansas Flag Meaning & History
The Kansas state flag, designed by Hazel Avery, was first displayed during a parade in the city of Lincoln. The state officially adopted this design in 1927. In 1961, the flag was changed to have the state’s name added to the bottom, and that design is still used today.
The flag features Kansas’ state seal, with many symbols representing pioneer life, such as a plowed field, oxen, and wagons. The Latin words within the seal translate to the state’s motto: “To the stars through difficulties.” Below the motto are 34 stars representing Kansas as the 34th state admitted to the Union. Above the seal is a sunflower representing the state’s nickname and the state flower.
