Mississippi - Historic State Flag - For Outdoor Use

MISSISSIPPI - HISTORIC STATE FLAG - FOR OUTDOOR USE

On November 3, 2020, a new Mississippian flag design was approved by the state's voters. This flag features the old--now historic--flag design. It has a heading and grommet finish.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• • 100% MADE IN THE USA - Our flags are not only assembled here in the USA; They are manufactured in the USA, too.
  • FLAG MATERIAL - We use a tightly woven, high-quality, 200-denier nylon material. In most weather conditions, nylon is the ideal material for an all-purpose flag. (If your flag will be flown in high-wind conditions, consider picking a polyester flag instead of nylon.) Our nylon flags have a lustrous appearance, are lightweight enough to fly in the slightest breeze, and dry quickly after getting wet.
  • FLAG FINISH - This flag has a heavy canvas heading and solid brass grommets.
  • INTENDED USE - This flag is designed for outdoor use.

MISSISSIPPI FLAG FACTS

Mississippi was granted statehood on December 10, 1817.

In 1861, Mississippi voted to secede from the Union. For a few weeks, the Bonnie Blue flag was flown until the Mississippi secession convention adopted a design which contained a Magnolia tree on a white background with the Bonnie Blue star on a blue background in the upper left corner (canton). In addition, they flew the flags of the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865.

In 1894, the Mississippi legislation authorized a committee to design an official state flag. The proposed design was approved by a vote of nearly two to one. It contained:

• • Three horizontal stripes (blue, white, red)
  • At the upper left corner (canton) is a red square (its height is equivalent to the two top stripes)
  • Within the square is what is usually called the Confederate battle flag, or the "union square"
  • The canton has a red background with a blue cross, bordered in white, and thirteen, five-pointed stars

Over the years, a number of changes in the design were proposed with the intention of removing the Confederate battle flag from the Mississippi flag. The proposals all failed until November 3, 2020, when a new design featuring a magnolia flower was approved by Mississippian voters.
