Hawaii state flag
The Hawaii flag, adopted in 1845, consists of 8 stripes of white, red, and navy, representing the major Hawaiian islands. In the upper left corner is displayed the Union Jack, signifying its close ties to Great Britain before becoming a US state.
All of our flags at Star Spangled Flags are 100% made in the USA from start to finish! We use a tough, nylon fabric to hold up outdoors, extra stitching on the fly end of the flag, and a special UV coating to prevent fading from the sun.
