Indiana Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material

Flying the Indiana Torch requires a flag that can handle freezing winters and sweltering, humid summers. Match your Indiana region to our American-made fabrics:

• For High-Wind & Open Plains: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Indiana Flags. This is our most durable fabric, featuring an open-weave design that allows wind to flow through the material. It is the essential choice for South Bend, Gary, and the open farm belts of the Hoosier Heartland.

• For Brilliant Color & Daily Display: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Indiana Flags are the top choice for homes from Fort Wayne to Evansville. These flags are treated with specialized UV-inhibitors to protect the deep "Liberty Blue" field and the golden torch from sun-bleaching.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Indiana flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows the Indiana State Flag Code. We ensure the 19 stars are perfectly aligned and the torch flame is vibrant.

What Size Indiana Flag Should I Buy?

While our Heavy-Duty Nylon is the standard for color, and our 2-Ply Polyester is built for the Prairie winds, the most important factor in a professional display is the scale. Before you order, see our Indiana State Flag Size Guide to learn why a 20ft residential pole typically requires a 3x5ft flag, whereas a 25ft pole—common for Indianapolis government buildings and schools—is better suited for a 4x6ft design to ensure Official Indiana Proportions.

Can I fly the Indiana flag with the US flag?

Flying the American flag alongside the Indiana state flag creates a respectful, balanced display for homes, businesses, schools, and government buildings. To simplify sizing and ensure proper etiquette, our American flag and Indiana state flag bundle pairs both flags in matched materials, proportions, and finishes for indoor or outdoor use.

What is the history and meaning of the Indiana State Flag?

The Meaning of the Indiana Flag: The Torch of Enlightenment

Adopted in 1917 as part of the state’s centennial celebration, the Indiana flag was designed by Paul Hadley of Mooresville. At Tidmore Flags, we honor this legacy by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The Torch: Represents liberty and enlightenment. The rays emanating from the torch symbolize the far-reaching influence of these ideals.
• The 19 Stars: The outer circle of 13 stars represents the original 13 colonies. The inner semi-circle of 5 stars represents the next five states admitted to the Union. The large star above the torch represents Indiana, the 19th state.
• The Gold & Blue: The gold-on-blue color scheme was chosen for its classic, prestigious appearance. We use official "Vexillological Gold" to ensure the torch and stars don't look "mustard" or "dull."
• Historical Accuracy: We ensure the word "Indiana" is placed in a semi-circle above the central star, exactly as prescribed by the state legislature's 1917 design.
