Flag Poles and Banners – Bonnie Blue

Flag Poles and Banners – Bonnie Blue

All kinds of different historical and military flags are flown from aluminum and steel flag poles in the U.S. Many have claimed that the United States likely have the largest collection of banners and flags in the world.

On such historic flag that was flown during the earlier days of the U.S. was the so called Bonnie Blue flag. This particular banner shows a blue colored field or background on which a white star is displayed. Interestingly, this flag only flew for a short amount of time and was identified with the (at that time) Republic of West Florida. It was also flown from flag poles and such during other historic periods of America.

The Bonnie Blue flag was first design by the wife of an Army official who commonly is known to have been leading the “Dragoons” some centuries ago. It was very first observed at a Spanish fort in the area of Baton Rouge (French for red stick) during the initial years of the 19th century.

The above mentioned republic was done away with some months later.

Flags and banners over time inspired flags and banners. Fascinating similarities exist between national banners that are attached to flag poles all over the world. The same applies to historic type banners, including the Bonnie Blue flag. This flag inspired the makers of the first flag of the Republic of Texas during the 1800-s.

In our day the Bonnie Blue flag served as inspiration for various other objects, including the road signs along Interstate 12, which also is commonly referred to and designated as the (Republic of) West Florida Parkway.

Historic and military flags can be flown from all kinds of flag poles and are made available by suppliers and resellers throughout the nation. Common production materials include nylon and polyester.
