Alaska Nylon State Flag 12"x18"

Our 12"x18" Alaska State flags are constructed of tough, long-lasting nylon which offers the best resistance to damaging ultraviolet radiation allowing the flags color to last longer than traditional nylon flags.  Our outdoor Alaska flags feature fray resistant stitching (4-stitch fly ends) that create durable seams that resist fraying better. Lightweight nylon material dries quickly and flies beautifully in even the slightest breeze. Our Alaska flags are finished with a heavy-weight canvas header and solid brass grommets.

More information on the Alaska State flag

Alaska’s flag has eight gold stars on a background of dark blue; the stars form the shape of the Big Dipper and the North Star. Before 1927, the Alaskan territory was represented by the US flag. This flag was designed by Benny Benson, a native from Seward, who chose the blue background to represent the Alaska sky and the forget-me-not flower. The North Star symbolized the future of state of Alaska and the dipper symbolized the bear, or strength. The flag was adopted as the official state flag when Alaska became a state in 1959.
