Marine Corps Flag | Nylon & Poly-Max Options

United States Marine Corps Flag:

 Our United States Marine Corps Flags come available in many different size options and we also carry a Poly-Max version of the 3' x 5' flag. 

Nylon flags: Durable, UV resistant, and the most popular choice we have among all of our flag materials. The 200 denier nylon Marine Corps Flag will sway in a light breeze, and be a durable long lasting option.

Poly-Max: This our longest lasting material available. It is heavy duty and commercial grade, and it shines best in high wind areas. The heavier grade material means it will not sway as much as the nylon is a light breeze but this flag was built to last. If you are looking for a heavy weighted look or need a flag for commercial application or high winds, than this is your flag.

• All flags come with durable brass grommets
• Heavy Duty white canvas header

History of the United States Marine Corps:

Beginning in 1876, Marines carried the national colors (the Stars and Stripes) with "U.S. Marine Corps" embroidered in yellow on the middle red stripe.

At the time of the Vera Cruz landing in 1914, a more distinctive standard was carried by Marines. The design consisted of a blue field with a laurel wreath encircling the Marine Corps emblem in the center. A scarlet ribbon above the emblem carried the words "U.S. Marine Corps," while another scarlet ribbon below the emblem carried the motto "Semper Fidelis."

Orders were issued on 2 April 1921 which directed all national colors be manufactured without the yellow fringe and without the words "U.S. Marine Corps" embroidered on the red stripe. This was followed by an order dated 14 March 1922, retiring from use all national colors still in use with yellow fringe or wording on the flag. Following World War I, the Army practice of attaching silver bands carrying inscriptions enumerating specific decorations and battles was adopted. This practice was discontinued on 23 January 1961.

Marine Corps Order No. 4 of 18 April 1925 designated gold and scarlet as the official colors of the U.S. Marine Corps. These colors, however, were not reflected in the official Marine Corps standard until 18 January 1939, when a new design incorporating the new colors was approved.

The design was essentially that of today's Marine Corps standard.
