Missouri State Flag | Eder Endura-Nylon Outdoor Flag

Missouri's state flag is a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and blue, with the state coat of arms centered within a blue ring of 24 stars. The coat of arms features two grizzly bears supporting a shield that is divided between federal symbols (bald eagle, stars, crescent moon) and state symbols (another grizzly bear, crescent moon). The state motto "Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto" (The Welfare of the People Shall Be the Supreme Law) wraps around the seal, and a knight's helmet with 24 stars above marks Missouri as the 24th state admitted to the Union.

This Eder Endura-Nylon Missouri flag is designed for the Show-Me State's volatile Midwest weather. Missouri sits at the convergence of multiple climate zones, experiencing extreme temperature swings, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, ice storms, and humid summers. From the windy bluffs along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to the open farmland of the northern plains, outdoor flags face sustained punishment. The 200-denier Endura-Nylon fabric with SolarGuard finish delivers UV resistance and color retention through heat, cold, and everything in between. Reinforced fly-end stitching and canvas heading with brass grommets. Made in the USA by Eder Flag.

About the Missouri State Flag

Adopted in 1913, Missouri's flag was designed by Marie Elizabeth Watkins Oliver, who lobbied the state legislature for years to adopt an official banner. Missouri became the 24th state on August 10, 1821, entering as part of the Missouri Compromise that temporarily resolved the national debate over slavery's expansion. The two grizzly bears on the coat of arms represent the state's strength and the courage of its citizens. The crescent moon symbolizes Missouri's status as a young and growing state at the time of its founding. Missouri's central location at the confluence of the nation's two greatest rivers made it the "Gateway to the West," a role immortalized by the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The state motto, emphasizing the welfare of the people as the highest law, reflects a deeply democratic tradition.
