Based on a historic flag created for the 1876 Centennial, five-pointed, rayed stars are arranged to read “1776” and “2026.” The flag’s design is completed with thirteen alternating red and white stripes.
This flag is printed on a very high quality, heavy weight nylon flag designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the same fabric we've used for our "1773" Boston Tea Party flag.
The flag:
- Made in America
- High quality, double-sided printing
- With brass grommets
Size: 28" x 45.75". The size and proportions are based on an actual 1776 - 1876 Centennial Flag. It is slightly smaller than our 3' x 5' "1773" Boston Tea Party flag.
Also available: 1776 - 2026 Historic American Garden Flag in a 12" x 18" size
Caring for your flag: To prolong the life of your flag, bring it in in high winds and bad weather. To reduce the chance of fading, you can apply a UV protectant, such as 303.
To clean the manufacturer recommends spot cleaning with a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. They do not recommend putting it in the washing machine or submerging the flag entirely in water.
Historical background: Jeff Bridgman has an excellent explanation of the "1776 - 1876" flag on which our design is based.
