Ohio State Flag – For Outdoor Use

Celebrate Ohio’s heritage with the official Ohio State Flag, the only U.S. state flag with a distinctive swallowtail (burgee) design engineered for dependable outdoor performance.

Made in the USA, this outdoor flag features Ohio’s distinctive swallow-tailed design with three red and two white horizontal stripes, a blue triangular field containing a white “O” and red circle surrounded by 17 stars, representing Ohio’s rivers, hills, and its place as the 17th state to join the Union. 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

Adopted in 1902, Ohio’s flag features a blue triangular field for the state’s hills and valleys, five alternating red and white stripes for roads and waterways, and a white circle with a red center for the “O” in Ohio and statehood. Stars acknowledge the original colonies and Ohio’s place as the 17th state.
