Kentucky state flag
The Kentucky flag, adopted in 1918, consists of a navy blue field with the State Seal of Kentucky displayed in the center. The Seal features a pioneer and a statesman embracing. Above the Seal are the words, “Commonwealth of Kentucky,” and below the Seal are arranged sprigs of Goldenrod, the state flower.
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.
