Description
Display your pride in the Badger State with our premium Wisconsin state flag.
Our Wisconsin flags are crafted in the United States from nylon, a durable fabric ideal for outdoor use. The lightweight nature of nylon ensures that the flag flies even in mild winds, while its quick-drying characteristics help prevent mildew buildup. The flag's design is digitally printed, creating vibrant colors that are UV-resistant.
Each flag has a robust canvas heading and brass grommets for easy mounting and durability outdoors*. Fly this flag with any of our outdoor flagpoles, or display it inside using additional grommets.
WI Flag Highlights:
- Made in the USA with exceptional quality and craftsmanship
- Official 1981 design
- 100% high-quality nylon fabric
- Sturdy canvas header* for support
- Brass grommets* for secure flagpole attachment
Planning a formal indoor display honoring Wisconsin? We also offer the Wisconsin state flag finished with gold fringe and a pole sleeve.
*Flags 8' x 12' and larger use a heavy-duty rope and galvanized thimbles for the added strength needed for larger flags. Flags smaller than that size are equipped with a canvas header and grommets
Wisconsin State Flag History
The first official Wisconsin flag was adopted in 1863, which placed the state coat of arms over a dark blue field. In the coat of arms is a shield with four symbols: a plow for agriculture, a pick and shovel for mining, an arm and hammer for industry, and lastly, an anchor for sailing. On either side of the coat of arms is a sailor and a yeoman, representing Wisconsin’s workers on the sea and land.
From 1979 to 1981, the flag was modified to add the state name and year Wisconsin was admitted to the Union (1848).
