Connecticut Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Constitution State

Flying the "Three Vines" in Connecticut presents a challenge: balancing historical detail with weather resistance. Selecting the right material for your specific region is essential:

• For High-Wind & Coastal Regions (2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester CT Flag): This is our "Maritime-Grade" fabric. If you are located in Stamford, Mystic, or New London, you need a flag that won't shred in the Atlantic gusts. The 2-ply open-weave design allows wind to flow through, significantly reducing the "whipping" stress on the fly end.
• For Maximum Color & Quick-Drying (Heavy-Duty Nylon CT Flag): Our top choice for residential displays across the state. These flags are treated with specialized UV-inhibitors to protect the deep "Azure Blue" field from fading, ensuring the intricate state seal stays vibrant through the changing New England seasons.
• The Tidmore Standard: Every Connecticut flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly adheres to the official proportions adopted in 1897. We ensure the "Qui Transtulit Sustinet" motto is perfectly legible and centered.

The History of the Connecticut Flag: "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains"

The Connecticut state flag is a symbol of resilience and growth, officially adopted in 1897. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Constitution State" by adhering to these official symbolic and historical requirements:

• The Three Grapevines: These represent the three original colonies of Connecticut: Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield. They also symbolize the state’s agricultural roots and its ability to flourish in new land.

• The State Motto: The white ribbon below the vines carries the Latin motto, "Qui Transtulit Sustinet" (He Who Transplanted Still Sustains). This serves as a reminder of the settlers' faith and the state’s enduring spirit.

• The Azure Blue Field: The deep blue field represents the color of the Continental Army uniforms worn during the American Revolution, signifying Connecticut’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding.

• Official Seal Accuracy: Unlike generic imports, we ensure the ornate "Baroque" style frame around the grapevines matches t
