Mississippi state flag
The Mississippi flag, most recently adopted in 2021, consists of a vertically striped red, blue, and gold background, with a white Magnolia blossom in the center of a circle of white stars. At the top of this circle of stars is a larger, gold star, and at the bottom are the words, “In God We Trust.”
The Mississippi state flag is bordered with gold fringe for indoor and parade purposes, while the outdoor version has no gold fringe.
The flag of Mississippi flies on many occasions such as ceremonies, parades, installations, and more. In addition, the flag is also displayed in the office of the Mississippi Governor.
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.
