About The California Flag Design

The California State Flag, also known as the "Bear Flag," is a striking symbol of the state's unique history. The design features a grizzly bear, a symbol of strength and independence, walking on a patch of green grass. Above the bear is a red star, representing sovereignty, and below it is the text "California Republic," referring to the brief period of California's independence from Mexico in 1846. The flag's background is white, symbolizing purity and peace, while the red stripe along the bottom represents courage. Officially adopted in 1911, the California State Flag is a proud emblem of this west coast state. Displaying this flag is a great choice and there's no better company to help you than Gettysburg Flag Works!

California Flag Size Recommendations

• 12x18” - Known as the "boat flag", but is great for use as wall decoration or on stick flags for celebrations
• 2x3’ - The flag size seen on large boats, RV’s or small flag poles
• 3x5’ - The most common flag size. Used on 6' house-mounted poles or in-ground poles up to 20' tall
• 4x6’ - Traditionally used on 25' tall in-ground flagpoles
• 5x8’ - Best for 30' tall in-ground flag poles
• 6x10’ - Made for use on 35' - 40' tall in-ground flagpoles
• 8x12’ - The correct sizing for flagpoles between 40’ and 50’
• 10x15’ - Made to use on flagpoles from 50’ to 60’
• 12x18’ - The correct size flag for flagpoles between 60’ and 75’
• Header and Grommet style - This is the most popular way to attach a flag and is used on house mounted poles and in-ground flag poles. Generally made of brass and connected via snap clip or plastic grommet rings like our rotating spinning pole.
• Pole sleeve and tab options - Found on house mount poles that do not have grommet attachment capabilities. Indoor flag poles also require this attachement style.
• Rope and Thimble - Found on some 8x12’ & larger flags, these more durable metal thimbles attach to larger sized snap clips. A piece of rope is sewn into the header along the pole side of the flag to lend additional strength to the flag when flown.
