Arizona State Flag Buying Guide: Built for the Copper State Sun

Flying a flag inArizona presents a unique challenge: the highest UV exposure in the United States. To prevent your Arizona flag from becoming brittle or fading in the desert heat, selecting the right material is essential:

• For Maximum UV Resistance (The Desert Sun): Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Arizona Flags are the best choice for the "Valley of the Sun." They are vapor-jetted with specialized UV-inhibitors designed to protect the vibrant red and gold rays and the central copper star from the intense Arizona solar radiation.

• For Monsoon Season & High Winds: If you are in a high-exposure area like the Mogollon Rim or subject to Monsoon winds, we recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester AZ Flags. Its open-weave design allows high-velocity gusts to pass through the fabric, preventing the "whipping" action that leads to premature fraying.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Arizona flag we carry is 100% Made in the USA and meets the official design specifications adopted in 1917. Whether for a Scottsdale estate or a Tucson business, we provide the durability the Southwest demands.

If you’re not sure whether nylon or polyester is right for your display, check out our guide to the best flag materials for Arizona weather to match your material to your wind, sun, and conditions.

The Meaning of the Arizona State Flag

Adopted in 1917, the Arizona flag is a visual record of the state’s history and geography. Every Tidmore flag honors these official symbolic requirements:

• The 13 Rays: Represent the original 13 colonies and the rays of the setting sun. The colors (red and yellow) are a tribute to the colors of Coronado’s Expedition of 1540.

• The Copper Star: Located in the center, this star represents Arizona as the largest copper producer in the nation—a nod to the state’s mining heritage.

• The Blue Field: The bottom half is the same "Liberty Blue" found on the U.S. flag, representing the freedom found in the open skies of the Southwest.
