Jamaican Flag
We carry authentic Jamaica Flags in both indoor and outdoor varieties. Our flags are proudly made in the United States from durable nylon and are printed with vibrant long-lasting inks. The Jamaica national flag is often displayed at embassies, outside of businesses associated with Jamaica, and at the homes of people who take great pride in their Jamaican heritage.
Our indoor flags are finished with a pole hem and your choice of with or without golden fringe. Gold fringe is the traditional way to display an indoor flag, however, some people choose without fringe for a simple and clean look that is also less expensive. If you are looking for a complete indoor presentation set, our Build Your Own Indoor International Flag Set program allows you to select a durable nylon indoor Jamaica Flag and choose between premium quality poles, bases, and ornaments, and tassel. For indoor applications, most buyers choose a 3ft. x 5ft. flag with an 8ft. pole, however, if you have a low ceiling, you may opt for a 7ft. pole, which is designed to work with drop ceilings. If you are looking for a very substantial international flag display, our 4ft. x 6ft. indoor flags can be paired with a 9ft. pole for our largest indoor display option.
Our outdoor international flags are finished with a canvas header and brass grommets and are offered in four sizes: 2ft. x 3ft., 3ft. x 5ft., 4ft. x 6ft., and 5ft. x 8ft., to fit any sized flagpole. Typically, outdoor flags are flown outside of government organizations, businesses, and institutions on in-ground and wall-mount flagpoles, however, some people also buy these flags to display their international pride at home. If you are looking for a wall-mount Jamaica flag set to display outside of your home, our Build Your Own Outdoor International Flag Set program will allow you to choose between premium quality 6ft. poles and brackets to display the Jamaica Flag on your front porch. Outdoor flags can also be displayed indoors on interior walls of your home with screws anchored in the wall to attach to the grommets.
In addition to the flags we offer for purchase, we maintain an archive of the audio and lyrics of the Jamaica National Anthem, historical information about the Jamaica flag, demographic data about Jamaica, and free high resolution images of the Jamaica flag for use in projects and on websites.
Regardless of your application, we are looking forward to working with you to provide the required flags, flagpoles, and hardware for your application. If you need assistance, please reach out to us by phone, email, or chat, and we will be happy to help.
History of the Jamaican Flag
The Jamaican flag features the colors gold, green, and black. A gold diagonal cross (referred to as a saltire) divides the flag into four triangular sections. The top and bottom triangle are green in color and the two side triangles are black. The gold color represents the wealth of the country and the sunshine, the black color represents the hardships and struggles, and the green color represents the land and Jamaica's agriculture. The Jamaican flag motto is: "Hardships there are, but the land is green and the sun shineth." The Jamaican flag was adopted on August 6th, 1962, when the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. There are only two national flags that do not include the colors red, blue, and white - Jamaica is one of them and Mauritius is the other.
The flag is a cherished symbol in Jamaica and in fact there are several rules which apply to the flag which are as follows:
- The flag should never be smaller than any other flag flown at the same time.
- When the flag becomes worn and must be replaced, it should be burnt privately and should not be used for any other purpose than that for which it was designated.
- Do not place any other flag above or to the right of the Jamaican flag, except at foreign embassies, consulates and missions. (As seen from, say, a building looking outwards, i.e. the left when facing the building)
- Do not raise any foreign flag publicly unless the Jamaican flag is also flown, except at foreign embassies, consulates and missions.
- The flag shouldn't be draped over vehicles, except on military, police and state occasions.
In 1494, after Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica, the country came under Spanish control and became known as "Santiago" until 1655, when it came under British control. Whilst it was under British rule, it became the biggest sugar exporter in the world. Jamaica was the first country in Africa to gain independence from the UK.
Jamaica is an island country and is the 3rd largest island in the Caribbean Sea. The largest city and capital city of Jamaica is Kingston and the second largest city is Montego Bay, also referred to as the "tourist capital" of Jamaica. The main and most important industry in Jamaica, is tourism. It has been voted for many years as one of the 5 top tourist destinations.

There are also three Dolphin Coves on the island where people can swim and interact with dolphins, sharks, and stingrays.

Lyrics
Eternal Father, bless our land
Guide us with Thy mighty hand
Keep us free from evil powers
Be our light through countless hours
To our leaders, Great Defender,
Grant true wisdom from above
Justice, truth be ours forever
Jamaica, land we love
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love
Teach us true respect for all
Stir response to duty's call
Strengthen us the weak to cherish
Give us vision lest we perish
Knowledge send us, Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above
Justice, truth be ours forever
Jamaica, land we love
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love
