Description

Alabama Flag History

Adopted: February 16, 1895; 123 years ago

Alabama Flag Design: St. Andrew's saltire in a field of white

The Alabama Flag was authorized by the Alabama Legislature on February 16, 1895, by Act number 383.

According to the Acts of Alabama, 1895, the state flag was to be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross were not to be less than six inches broad and were to extend diagonally across the flag from side to side. The act did not designate a square or a rectangular flag.

Over the years there has been much confusion and speculation over the shape of the Alabama state flag. Prior to publishing the 1915 Alabama Official and Statistical Register, Dr. Thomas Owen, director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History interviewed individuals who had been around at the time that the bill was introduced.

He concluded that the flag was intended to "preserve in permanent form some of the more distinctive features of the Confederate battle flag, particularly the St. Andrew's cross."

Owen then made the conclusion that the flag should be square, based on the "regulations governing the Confederate battle flag."

However, these regulations which applied to one version of the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag were not always followed by flag manufacturers during the Civil War, and rectangular St. Andrew’s Cross battle flags were common in the Army of Tennessee.

Furthermore, the earliest images of the state flag published soon after the adoption of the flag all depicted a rectangular flag.

Alabama Flag Display

The Code of Alabama states that the state flag should be flown over the dome of the Capitol when the two houses of the Legislature are in session and should be used by the state on all occasions when necessary or customary to display a flag, except when the Governor determines that the national flag should be displayed.

In 2001 the Alabama Legislature expanded regulations related to the display of the state flag in the Alabama State Flag Act. According to the Acts of Alabama, 2001-472: "(a)

Each facility or building located in this state that is affiliated with any department or agency of the state and supported in whole or in part by public funds shall prominently display the Alabama State Flag, in accordance with appropriate flag display protocol, on a flag pole or flag poles located near the main entrance of each facility or building.

Any facility or building that is not in public view or open to the general public, or is used only for storage or other warehouse purposes, may be exempt from the requirements of this section at the discretion of the director or chief official of the department or agency.

"(b) Unless otherwise acquired pursuant to gift, donation, or other means, the flags and flag poles required by this section shall be purchased by the applicable department or agency within three years after August 21, 2001."

Under an Act approved on September 26, 1923, the flag of the State, as well as the flag of the United States, is required to be displayed every day on which school is in session, at all schools in the State which are supported even in part by public funds.

In 2001 the law was expanded to require state flags to be flown at county courthouses, state offices, and municipal buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a flag last?

This is the most common question asked in the industry and the most difficult to answer. No two flags will wear the same due to weather conditions and how often the flag is flown. Our flags offer the best stitching and highest quality materials to get your flag off to a great start.

How can I prolong the life of my flag?

Do not hang a flag where the wind will whip it against rough surface, such as tree branches, wires or cables or the outside of your home or building. Inspect your flags regularly for signs of wear. Repair any minor rips or tears right away this can be mended easily with a sewing machine or sewing kit. Keep the surface of the pole free of dirt, rust or corrosion that could damage or stain your flag.

Can I wash or launder my flag?

We recommend that you hand-wash your flag with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can also use a dry cleaning service.

Is it okay to fly my flag during heavy winds or inclement weather?

Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag.

Can I fly other flags on the same pole as a USA Flag?

Yes, as long as your pole is large enough to support the weight of the flags. The USA Flag must always fly at the top. The flag underneath should be at least one foot lower and be one size smaller than the USA Flag. Flags of other countries are not to be flown beneath the USA Flag.

How do I properly dispose of a flag?

If your flag is significantly faded, torn or tattered it is time to retire your flag. Your flag should be retired privately in a dignified manner. In addition, many local community organizations have flag disposal centers that will dispose of your flag for you.

The stitching on the Flag is obvious and stunning. The Flag hangs beautifully. My family members thought it would look too big where we hang it….. it’s Perfect! I want to thank customer service for answering questions over a span of a couple of weeks. Our household caught the flu and was slower to get our order in… we wanted to be appreciative and purchase from your company. God Bless the USA.

Making America Great Again

At first I was skeptical on the quality but once I unpacked it and hung the flag I was impressed as it held wind well and to boot the tea stained color and 13 stars were very impressive. Love this flag and if it is 100% true that this flag is made in America i will buy more as needed.

Happy

Everything looked great on it, it is nice and heavy material hoping it will live up to the year warranty! Very happy with the product.

Beautiful

My old flag was torn & faded. I googled USA Flag Co & liked that it wasn’t cotton & that the stars were sewn. It is so beautiful, the poly, silky, sturdy, perfectly sewn fabric & embroidered stars. It rained here randomly the other evening while the temperature was 104! And I momentarily forgot my flag was out! I ran out in the pouring rain & brought it in. I hand washed it in warmish water & Ivory dish soap & it looks even brighter now! I’m honored to fly this beautiful piece of art & representation of sacrifice & freedom! 🇺🇸 Amy in Texas

Fantastic quality

Happy with my purchase. Flag feels well constructed. Heavy fabric. Good size for my needs.

Great feature

Appeal to Heaven

I don't believe in coincidences. Because of a deep desire to fly the "Pine Tree" flag for the remaining months before the 2024 election, I purchased this very well made flag. Less than a week after we replaced our Thin Blue Line flag with this one, an assassination attempt was made on former President Trump in Butler, PA. Our An Appeal to Heaven flag will remain on our standard for as long as is needed. Thank you for making a quality product that will last!

American all the way!!

These stick flags are awesome for putting in the ground!! They are tall enough that the flag doesn’t hit the ground. Very well made and I love that they are made in the USA. I hated to purchase flags in the past that were made in China, but I couldn’t find USA made flags!! Our American flags should never be made anywhere else but the USA!!!

Impressive Quality!

One look at this flag and you can tell that care went into making it. The high quality materials and sturdy stitching makes the flag feel substantial. And the striking embroidery really makes a statement…the attention to detail feels appropriate for a flag that means this much.

Just perfect!

Great quality, on time delivery and excellent customer service. Thank you.
