Maryland Indoor Flag: A Symbol of State Pride

The Maryland colony was founded by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore, hence the use of his family’s coat of arms in the flag. Initially, only the gold and black design was associated with Maryland.

Key Features:

• 3′ x 5′ indoor nylon flag
• Pole sleeve and fringe for a classic look

The red and white Crossland design gained popularity during the American Civil War, in which Maryland remained with the Union despite a lot of popular support for the Confederacy. Those Marylanders who supported secession (many of whom fought in the Army of Northern Virginia) were reluctant to use (and to fight under) the banner which was associated with a state which, grudgingly or not, remained with the Union and so they adopted the Crossland banner, which had the benefit of being red and white (which were seen as ‘secession colors’).

This 3′ x 5′ indoor nylon flag is perfect for displaying your state pride in a home, office, or government building. The pole sleeve and fringe add a touch of elegance to this already stunning flag.
