Nevada Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the High Desert

Hoisting the "Battle Born" banner requires a material that can handle temperature swings of 40° in a single day. Match your Nevada region to our American-made fabrics:

• For Maximum UV Resistance & Desert Heat: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Nevada Flags are the #1 choice for Clark County and the Amargosa Valley. Nevada's sun is among the most punishing in the U.S.; our nylon is vapor-jetted with specialized inhibitors to keep the "Cobalt Blue" field from fading into a dull grey.

• For High-Wind & Mountain Passes: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Nevada Flags. This is our "Sierra-Grade" fabric, designed specifically for Elko, Ely, and the Truckee Meadows. The 2-ply open-weave construction allows heavy winds to pass through the material, preventing the "whiplash" stress that shreds lower-quality flags.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Nevada flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows Nevada Revised Statute 235.020. We ensure the "Battle Born" motto and the silver star are perfectly rendered in the upper-left canton

What Size Nevada State Flag Should I Buy?

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

Can I fly the Nevada flag with the US flag?

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

The Meaning of the Nevada Flag: Battle Born

The Nevada flag is a symbol of the state's rugged history and its entrance into the Union during the American Civil War. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Silver State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The "Battle Born" Motto: This phrase commemorates Nevada’s statehood in 1864, achieved while the country was at war.

• The Silver Star: Located in the center of the wreath, it represents Nevada’s rich mining history and its status as the Silver State.

• The Sagebrush Wreath: The star is encircled by two sprays of sagebrush, the state flower, representing Nevada's natural desert landscape.

• The 1991 Design Update: We ensure your flag follows the most recent legislative update (Senate Bill 396), which moved the text from inside the star to a scroll below it, ensuring your display is modern and legally accurate.

• Cobalt Blue Field: We use the official "Cobalt Blue" specified by the Nevada Secretary of State, providing a professional and prestigious look for homes, ranches, and businesses alike.
