Kentucky Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Commonwealth

Hoisting the "United We Stand" banner in Kentucky requires a material that can handle high humidity and unpredictable inland winds. Match your region to our American-made fabrics:

• For High-Wind & Open Farmland: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Kentucky Flags. This is our most durable fabric, designed specifically for Bowling Green, Owensboro, and the exposed ridges of Eastern Kentucky. The 2-ply construction allows wind to flow through the material, reducing stress on your hardware during Kentucky's frequent storm fronts.
• For Brilliant Color & Daily Display: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Kentucky Flags are the top choice for homes from Paducah to Covington. These flags are treated with specialized UV-inhibitors to protect the deep "Navy Blue" field and the goldenrod wreath from sun-bleaching.
• The Tidmore Standard: Every Kentucky flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows the Kentucky Revised Statutes 2.030. We ensure the seal depicting the pioneer and statesman is centered and the "Commonwealth of Kentucky" text is perfectly legible.

What Size Kentucky State Flag Should I Buy?

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

Can I fly the Kentucky flag with the American flag?

Flying the American flag alongside the Kentucky 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 Kentucky state flag bundle pairs both flags in matched materials, proportions, and finishes for indoor or outdoor use.

The Meaning of the Kentucky Flag: United We Stand

Adopted in 1918 and standardized in 1962, the Kentucky flag is a tribute to the state's spirit of cooperation. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Bluegrass State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The State Seal: In the center, the seal depicts a frontiersman in buckskins and a statesman in a frock coat embracing. While many believe they represent Daniel Boone and Henry Clay, they officially symbolize all those who helped build the Commonwealth—from the wilderness to the halls of government.
• The State Motto: The famous phrase "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" surrounds the central figures. This motto was taken from "The Liberty Song," a popular tune from the American Revolution.
• The Goldenrod: The seal is encircled by a wreath of Goldenrod, Kentucky’s state flower, which represents the natural beauty and resilience found from the Mississippi River to the Cumberland Gap.
• Historical Accuracy: We ensure the "Navy Blue" field matches the official silk standards originally prescribed by the General Assembly, providing a professional, prestigious look for homes and businesses alike.
