Description

Celebrate the island of Puerto Rico by flying an authentic, durable flag!

Our flag of Puerto Rico is proudly manufactured in the USA from nylon, a lightweight and durable fabric. Nylon’s lightness allows our Puerto Rican flags to fly regally, even in gentle breezes. The iconic design is digitally printed for UV-resistant vibrancy, even when flown in direct sunlight, making this an ideal flag for outdoor flying.

These Puerto Rico flags come equipped with a robust canvas header and brass grommets for secure mounting on any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer flags in sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, 6’ x 10’, and 8’ x 12’. The 3’ x 5’ flags of Puerto Rico are the most popular among our customers and fit great on our 6’ tangle-free flagpole.

Cuban Flag vs Puerto Rican Flag

The Puerto Rican flag is directly based on that of Cuba, which was designed in 1849. Puerto Rican and Cuban revolutionaries in New York City inverted the Cuban flag colors to create a flag for Puerto Rico, representing the unity of both nations against the Spanish Empire.

Puerto Rico Flag Meaning & History

The first flag of Puerto Rico was the Lares flag, flown during a revolt in 1868 against Spanish rule on the island. Many revolutionaries were exiled following the revolt and moved to New York City, where they met with Cuban exiles who had also resisted the Spanish. 

Puerto Rico’s modern flag was first designed in December 1895 by this group, which inverted the colors of Cuba’s revolutionary flag. The colors red, white, and blue represent freedom and equality, while the white star symbolizes the island itself.
