Illinois State Flag | Eder Endura-Nylon Outdoor Flag

The Illinois state flag displays the Great Seal of Illinois on a white field, with the word "Illinois" printed below in blue letters. The seal features a bald eagle perched on a boulder, holding a shield with thirteen stars and thirteen stripes in its talons, with a red banner in its beak reading "State Sovereignty, National Union." A prairie landscape stretches behind the eagle, and the dates 1818 (statehood) and 1868 (seal adoption) appear on the boulder. It is a flag rich in patriotic symbolism, representing the Prairie State's place at the heart of America.

This Eder Endura-Nylon Illinois flag is made for the full range of Midwest weather: hot, humid summers, cold winters with lake-effect snow and ice, and the strong winds that sweep across the open prairie and along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The 200-denier Endura-Nylon fabric with SolarGuard finish resists UV degradation and holds its vivid colors through temperature extremes and precipitation. Reinforced fly-end stitching handles gusty plains winds, and the canvas heading with brass grommets provides secure attachment in all seasons. Made in the USA by Eder Flag.

About the Illinois State Flag

Illinois became the 21st state on December 3, 1818. The state seal on the flag dates to 1868 and was designed by Secretary of State Sharon Tyndale. The eagle and shield mirror elements of the US Great Seal, underscoring Illinois's deep connection to the federal union. The state motto, "State Sovereignty, National Union," was deliberately arranged with "National Union" appearing more prominently, reflecting post-Civil War sentiment. The word "Illinois" was added to the flag in 1970 after a survey revealed that many Illinois residents could not identify their own state flag. Illinois has produced three US presidents: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Barack Obama.
