Belize Flag 🇧🇿
THE DESIGN
3' x 5' polyester Belize Flag with two grommets, double-stitched top and bottom edges, and a triple-stitched fly edge to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The national flag of Belize was officially adopted on Independence Day, September 21, 1981. It has a royal blue field flanked by two thin red stripes along the top and bottom edges, with the national coat of arms centered on a white circular disk.
Belize’s flag is notable as one of the few national flags featuring human figures. The coat of arms depicts two woodcutters—one Afro-Belizean holding an oar and one Mestizo holding an axe—standing beneath a mahogany tree to honor the nation's timber industry and cultural diversity. The central wreath contains 50 mahogany leaves, and the scroll below displays the national motto, Sub Umbra Floreo ("Under the shade I flourish"). The red and blue fields combine the colors of the nation's founding political parties to symbolize unity.
FLAG NERD FACTS: The flag of Belize has the most colors (12) of any national flag AN D has the most nipples. That's right, no other national flag has topless people and it even beats flags down in the sub-national area like Virginia. That's why you come to Flags For Good, for this hard hitting vexillology.
Days of Celebration: The flag is flown across the country during Independence Day on September 21 and St. George's Caye Day on September 10. It is also prominently displayed on Garifuna Settlement Day (November 19) and during national civic holidays.

It really depends on the environment it is flying in. Direct UV exposure, wind, rain, latitude, and especially hitting things like the brick on a house will shorten your flag's life. Also, dark colors fade first and the fastest. See our care page to make your flag last the longest!
