Illinois Polyester State Flag 5'x8'

Our 5'x8' Illinois flags are crafted from tough woven polyester that has a texture similar to cotton. This polyester fabric is the best choice for coastal and more extreme weather environments. Our outdoor Illinois flags feature fray resistant stitching (4-stitch fly ends) that create durable seams that resist fraying better than most polyester flags and are finished with a 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).
