Maine State Flag | Eder Endura-Nylon Outdoor Flag

The Maine state flag features the state coat of arms on a field of deep blue. At the center, a pine tree (the state tree) stands between a moose resting at its base and a sailor leaning on an anchor. Above the shield, the North Star gleams with the Latin word "Dirigo" (I Lead), the state motto. A farmer and a seaman flank the shield, representing Maine's two traditional economic pillars: agriculture and maritime industry. It is a flag rich in the identity of the Pine Tree State.

This Eder Endura-Nylon Maine flag is engineered for the rugged conditions along the northeastern coast. Maine's climate brings biting winter cold, nor'easters, heavy snow, coastal fog, and salt air that relentlessly work on outdoor flags year-round. The 200-denier Endura-Nylon fabric with SolarGuard finish provides the UV resistance and colorfastness needed through Maine's long, bright summer days, while standing up to the freeze-thaw cycles of winter. Reinforced fly-end stitching is critical where Atlantic winds sweep across the rocky coastline. Canvas heading with brass grommets. Made in the USA by Eder Flag.

About the Maine State Flag

Maine adopted its current flag in 1909, replacing an earlier design that featured a lone pine tree on a buff background. Maine became the 23rd state on March 15, 1820, as part of the Missouri Compromise that balanced free and slave states. The North Star and "Dirigo" motto reflect Maine's position as the easternmost state in the contiguous United States, the first to see the sunrise each morning. The pine tree has been a symbol of Maine since before the American Revolution; the Pine Tree Flag flew on colonial ships, and Maine's vast white pine forests supplied the Royal Navy with ship masts. The moose is the state animal and a beloved icon of Maine's northern wilderness, while the lobster (not on the flag but inseparable from Maine's identity) sustains one of the state's most important industries.
