WorldFlags

Historically, flags were first flown in battle to let troops know specific information while they were on the field. They were often used to show troop location or organization, and many times they displayed a family coat of arms or house symbol. Countries soon began to adopt flags as well, essentially derived from coat of arms or other religious symbols, but they were usually only used during war.

As you choose a flag, understand that economy lightweight polyester flags are great for indoor use or temporary outdoor use. If, however, you are looking for a sturdier, weather-resistant flag for outdoor use, we recommend that you purchase a nylon flag.
