Delaware State Flag | Eder Endura-Nylon Outdoor Flag

The Delaware state flag features the state coat of arms centered on a distinctive colonial blue (buff) diamond set against a background of colonial blue. Within the coat of arms, a farmer and a rifleman flank a shield depicting a sheaf of wheat, an ear of corn, and an ox, with a ship under full sail above. The banner below reads "Liberty and Independence," and the date December 7, 1787 marks Delaware's historic distinction as the first state to ratify the United States Constitution.

This Eder Endura-Nylon Delaware flag is designed for reliable outdoor performance in the Mid-Atlantic climate, where humid summers, nor'easters, and coastal winds along the Delaware Bay and Atlantic shore can take a toll on lesser fabrics. The 200-denier Endura-Nylon with SolarGuard finish provides excellent UV resistance and color retention, while the lightweight nylon construction ensures the flag flies well even in light breezes. Canvas heading with brass grommets and reinforced fly-end stitching deliver the durability needed for year-round display. Made in the USA by Eder Flag.

About the Delaware State Flag

Adopted on July 24, 1913, the Delaware state flag features the unique colonial blue and buff colors that were the uniform colors of General George Washington's Continental Army regiment from Delaware during the Revolutionary War. Delaware's claim as "The First State" comes from its December 7, 1787 ratification of the Constitution, beating Pennsylvania by five days. The coat of arms elements reflect Delaware's colonial economy: wheat and corn for agriculture, the ox for animal husbandry, and the ship for the coastal trade that made Wilmington and New Castle vital ports. The farmer and soldier represent the citizen contributions of both civil and military life.
