Description
Our Missouri state flags are proudly made in the United States using high-quality nylon fabric. Nylon is lightweight yet durable and can fly regally, even in gentle winds. Additionally, nylon dries quickly, helping to prevent mildew buildup and maintain the flag’s quality.
The design is digitally printed for bright colors and precise details in the state seal. The inks used to dye our flags are UV-resistant, ensuring longer-lasting vibrancy, even with sun exposure.
We offer MO 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 is equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for easy attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles.

Missouri Flag Meaning & History
Missouri did not have a state flag for almost a century after joining the Union. In 1908, the wife of Senator Robert Burett Oliver, Mrs. Marie Elizabeth Oliver, designed the state flag of Missouri. After taking multiple years and several bill attempts, the design was adopted as the state flag in 1913.
Oliver’s design embraces national pride while still representing the Missourian people. The blue stripe symbolizes vigilance and justice. The red represents valor, and the blue stands for purity. The Missouri coat of arms is in the center because Missouri is geographically in the middle of the United States.
