Rhode Island state flag
The Rhode Island flag, adopted in 1877, consists of a white field with a gold anchor in the center. This anchor is surrounded by 13 gold stars, representing the original 13 colonies and Rhode Island as the 13th state to ratify the Constitution. Below is a blue banner with the word, “HOPE,” written on it.
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.
