Mexico Flag Details
Buy a Mexican flag for sale for your next national celebration or for the front of your home or business. Display these well-made flags indoors and outdoors due to the durable material and print. We print the flag using a dye sublimation process, which ingrains the ink into the fabric, resulting in vivid colors that won’t peel off. The fabric is an outdoor-tested polyester material, which is knitted for tear-resistance and fray-resistance. Both the print and the material are designed to hold up in all kinds of weather without getting ruined. We print the design on one side of the flag and the mirror image bleeds through to the other side. This saves on printing costs and is the common layout for state and country flags. If you are looking for hardware to setup your flag of Mexico, add on either a wall mounted pole set or a handheld flagpole to your order. These 3x5 flags are a great way to show your pride for your country in a variety of settings.

Mexican Flag History
During the War of Independence from Spain, several flag designs were used to represent Mexico. The Virgin of Guadalupe standard is considered the first national flag, even though it was not officiated. This is because the standard was carried by Miguel Hidalgo and was associated with the rebel army. Still, several other Mexico flags were used during the war, with the green, white, and red colors first showing up in the Army of the Three Guarantees flag after the country gained its independence. The tricolor design was based on France’s flag and showed up in other variations, such as the naval flag. Mexico’s first official national flag was established on the first year of their sovereignty in 1821. This was the green, white, and red flag with the country’s coat of arms in the middle. The emblem was altered in 1823 to remove a crown that was on the eagle’s head and include a serpent in its grasp and branches. This design ended with the first federal republic in 1864. The Second Mexican Empire then used the same tricolor pattern, but four eagles with crowns were placed in each corner. The current design officially became the Mexico’s flag in 1968, which included the modern alteration of the coat of arms in the center. The coat of arms was based off a presidential decree from 1916.
