Florida State 35;5 Nylon Flag – Made in the USA

Description

Official Florida State Flag 1985 ; Present (Nylon)This particular Florida State Flag design was adopted by the Florida State Legislature on May 21st, 1985. The design consists of a red Saint Andrew;s Cross also referred to as a diagonal Cross or saltire against a pure white background with the Florida State Seal superimposed over the center of the saltire. The design dates back to the Spanish Cross of Burgundy Flag which was generally used in Spanish territories (including Florida) between 1513 and 1821. The red saltire with state seal design was first adopted by a public referendum in 1900, but the state seal was redesigned in 1985. So the argument could be made that this basic layout has been the design of Florida;s state flag since 1900. The 1985 version of the state seal depicts a shoreline with a Seminole woman laying flowers at the water;s edge. According to legend, the woman is intended to be the historical figure Milly Francis, but there is no documented proof of this. Two Sabal palms (Florida;s state tree) are in the background, while a steamboat is sailing just before the sun breaks the horizon. Rays of sunlight are shining up into the sky. The seal is encircled with the words ;Great Seal of the State of Florida;, and ;In God We Trust;, the state motto. The Florida Flag is also one of only three state flags that bear the words ;In God We Trust;. The other two are the states of Georgia and Mississippi.The artwork is dyed onto the nylon fabric penetrating through to the opposite side, making the image visible on both sides of the flag. The lettering reads correctly from one side only.Made in the USAMade of 100% 200-denier nylon fabricDyed fabric for rich color and superior longevity against fading4 rows of stitching on the fly end to prevent premature frayingReinforced header with brass grommetsFlag size: 3; x 5;
