Louisiana state flag
The Louisiana flag, adopted in 1912, consists of a blue field with a white Pelican above a nest with 3 chicks. On the Pelican’s breast are 3 drops of blood. Underneath is a banner with the state’s motto, “UNION, JUSTICE, and CONFIDENCE.”
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.
