Description
If you love the Silver State, show your pride with this top-quality Nevada state flag. These flags are manufactured in the United States using nylon, a durable and lightweight fabric. This means that your flag will fly regally, even in gentle breezes. Furthermore, nylon is quick to dry, helping prevent mildew growth. The design is digitally printed onto the material, adding UV and fade resistance.
Our Nevada flags come equipped with a canvas header and brass grommets for easy hoisting on any of our outdoor flagpoles. Choose from a wide range of sizes, including our bestselling 3’ x 5’ flag.

FLAG OF NEVADA HISTORY
An early version of the state flag had gold and silver stars and the words “silver,” “Nevada,” and “gold” emblazoned against a dark blue background. The following design, which was much more complex, featured a shield taken from the state seal. It also included a railroad on a trestle, a team of four horses drawing a wagon, a mine, a sheaf of wheat, agricultural tools, and a sun rising over mountains.
In 1926, Louis Shellback III created a new flag design. He was an artist for the state highway department. This design was almost identical to the flag used today. However, at the time of its adoption in 1929, a state representative recommended that the state's name be added to the emblem. Instead, the name of the state was arranged around the star. The current Nevada flag, which became official in 1991, moved the letters of the state name to be written in a single line beneath the star.
