Louisiana Polyester State Flag 5'x8'

Our 5'x8' Louisiana 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana State flag

Since 1861, this Louisiana state flag has been flown (although the pelican design was changed slightly in 2006). The pelican depicted here is wounding herself to feed her young (also called a “pelican in her piety”) and is the same pelican that is used on the state seal. The ribbon below the bird recalls the state motto, “Union, Justice and Confidence.” In 2006, a bill was passed in congress requiring three drops of blood to always be drawn on the pelican’s breast on the flag as well as the state seal.
