Illinois Nylon State Flag 12"x18"

Our 12"x18" Illinois 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 Illinois 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. These Illinois are finished with a heavy-weight canvas header and solid brass grommets.

More information on the Illinois State flag

Designed in 1912 by Lucy Derwent, the state flag of Illinois depicts Illinois’ state seal with the motto, “State Sovereignty, National union.” The two dates represent when Illinois became a state (1818) and the year Sharon Tyndale redesigned the seal. Because Illinois was fighting in the American Civil War for the Union side, “sovereignty” was placed upside-down (the union was fighting against states having too much power).
