Mississippi Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Hospitality State

The "New Magnolia" design features intricate details that must remain sharp despite Mississippi's intense sun. Match your region to our American-made fabrics:

• For Maximum UV Protection & Daily Display: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Mississippi Flags are the #1 choice for Jackson, Hattiesburg, and Meridian. They feature vapor-jetted dyes that deeply penetrate the fabric, keeping the "Old Glory Blue" and "Old Glory Red" vibrant while resisting the fading effects of the Southern sun.

• For Coastal Winds & Extreme Exposure: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Mississippi Flags. This is our "Deep South Grade" fabric, featuring an open-weave design that allows heavy, moisture-laden air to pass through, preventing the "whiplash" effect that shreds standard flags during coastal storms.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Mississippi flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows the 2020 State Emblems Redesign Commission specifications. We ensure the Magnolia blossom is crisp and the "In God We Trust" motto is perfectly legible.

What Size Mississippi State Flag Should I Buy?

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

Can I fly the Mississippi flag with the U.S. Flag?

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

The Meaning of the New Mississippi Flag: The New Magnolia

Officially adopted on January 11, 2021, the "In God We Trust" flag represents a new chapter for the state. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Magnolia State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The Magnolia Blossom: A symbol of hospitality and rebirth, the white magnolia at the center reflects Mississippi's long-standing nickname.

• The 20 Stars: Surrounding the blossom, 20 white stars signify Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union.

• The Gold Star: Positioned at the very top, the five-pointed gold star represents the state's Indigenous peoples, specifically the Choctaw, who first inhabited the region.

• The Colors: The vertical bars of Old Glory Red and Old Glory Blue, separated by thin Gold stripes, represent hardiness, vigilance, and the state's rich cultural history in music and the arts.

• The Motto: As required by the 2020 legislation, the words "In God We Trust" are inscribed in an Americana typeface below the blossom.
