Experience the Pride of Alaska with Our Indoor Nylon Flag

The Alaska state flag was designed by John Bell (Benny) Benson, a thirteen year-old in an orphanage in response to a contest sponsored by the Alaska Department of the American Legion. The prize was awarded in 1927. The flag was adopted by the Territorial Legislature in May, 1927 as Alaska’s official flag.

The flag is dark blue, with eight five-pointed gold stars in the shape of “the Big Dipper” and a larger gold star representing the pole star, Polaris. When Alaska entered the Union in 1959, the territorial flag became the state flag. All the designs for the contest, as well as Benny’s prize–a gold watch engraved with the flag–are in the Alaska State Museum in Juneau.

This 4′ x 6′ indoor nylon flag features a pole sleeve and fringe, making it perfect for display indoors. Made from high-quality nylon, this flag is durable and long-lasting, ensuring your Alaska pride will shine through for years to come.
