Massachusetts State Flag | Eder Endura-Nylon Outdoor Flag

The Massachusetts state flag features the state coat of arms on a white field. The shield depicts an Algonquian Native American holding a bow and arrow, with the arrow pointing downward to signify peace. A blue ribbon carries the state motto "Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem" (By the Sword We Seek Peace, but Peace Only Under Liberty). Above the shield, a bent arm holding a broadsword represents the state's readiness to defend its freedom. A blue star represents Massachusetts as one of the original thirteen colonies.

This Eder Endura-Nylon Massachusetts flag is built for the full spectrum of New England weather. From the harsh Atlantic nor'easters and coastal salt spray along Cape Cod and the Islands to the heavy winter snowfall of the Berkshires, Massachusetts demands a flag that can perform in every season. The 200-denier Endura-Nylon fabric with SolarGuard finish provides strong UV protection and resists the salt air corrosion common along the state's extensive coastline. Reinforced fly-end stitching handles the gusty winds off the Atlantic. Canvas heading with brass grommets. Made in the USA by Eder Flag.

About the Massachusetts State Flag

Massachusetts is the Bay State, the cradle of American liberty. The state motto reflects the fighting spirit of the Massachusetts colonists who fired the "shot heard round the world" at Lexington and Concord in April 1775, launching the American Revolution. Massachusetts was the sixth state to ratify the Constitution, on February 6, 1788. The coat of arms dates to 1775, updated in 2021 when the state redesigned its seal to more respectfully depict the Native American figure and removed a previous depiction of a disembodied arm with sword hovering above the figure. The blue star on the shield signifies Massachusetts as a member of the original union. From the Pilgrims at Plymouth to the abolitionists of the 19th century to the innovation economy of the 21st, Massachusetts has been at the forefront of American history.
