Indiana state flag
The Indiana flag, adopted in 1917, consists of a blue field with a gold torch in the center, surrounded by a circle of 13 stars, and an inner semi circle of 5 stars with a 19th, larger, star at the top of the torch. This larger star is crowned by the word “INDIANA,” representing Indiana’s admission into the Union as the 19th 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.
