The Texas flag is an icon. Simple, bold, and instantly recognizable, the Lone Star Flag is a powerful symbol of the fierce independence and deep-rooted pride that defines Texas. It tells a story of a republic that stood on its own and a state that continues to capture the world's imagination.
At Flags For Good, we celebrate this history. We believe a flag is a story, and when you display the Lone Star, you're sharing in that legacy.
A Legacy of Independence: The Flag's History
Before the famous Lone Star Flag we know today, other banners flew over the Republic of Texas. One of the most significant was the De Zavala Flag, the supposed first flag of the Republic, designed by Lorenzo de Zavala. Its bold blue field with a white star and the letters T-E-X-A-S is a crucial part of the state's vexillological history and a must-have for any true Texas enthusiast.
The flag we fly today was officially adopted on January 25, 1839. Its design carries the weight of the Texas Revolution and the spirit of the people who fought for their freedom.
Meaning in Every Color
The design of the Texas flag is a masterclass in symbolism, with each element representing a core Texan value:
- Blue: Stands for unwavering loyalty.
- White: Represents purity and liberty.
- Red: Signifies the bravery of those who founded the republic.
- The Lone Star: This single star embodies the unity of all Texans and the state's unique identity as a former independent nation. It’s the reason Texas is proudly known as "The Lone Star State."
