Massachusetts State Flag – For Outdoor Use

Celebrate Massachusetts’s heritage with the official Massachusetts State Flag, featuring the state coat of arms on a clean white field.

Made in the USA, this outdoor flag features Massachusetts’s classic white field with the state coat of arms depicting a Native American holding a bow and arrow beneath a blue shield and gold star. Reinforced with a durable canvas heading and #2 solid brass grommets, it is available in high-quality nylon or Poly-Knit fabric for lasting outdoor performance.

History and Significance

First adopted in 1908 and revised in 1971, the Massachusetts State Flag displays a Native American figure on a blue shield with a white star symbolizing statehood among the original colonies. Above the shield, a bent arm holds a broadsword, and the motto reads “Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem” (“By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty”).
