Description
Northamptonshire county flag
The flag of Northamptonshire county was adopted in 2014. It has a maroon background with a yellow-gold cross centred. The cross is bordered by black and has a red rose in the center.
The golden cross represents the county’s location in England. It is seen as a crossroads in England, represented by the crossed lines. The maroon and yellow-gold were inspired by the county’s cricket team. The county’s leather industry is symbolised by the black outline of the cross. The red rose is a traditional symbol of the county.
Your print options
Digital printing – For the budget conscious we offer a standard digital print option. Printed onto 115gsm quality knitted polyester these flags still have the same print quality as our other printed flags.
Handsewn – For an added touch of quality our handsewn flags are meticulously appliqued using 155gsm woven polyester by our UK based team of seamstresses. A handsewn flag is an investment so we would recommend adding anti-fray to help prolong the life of your flag.
Eco-friendly flag – For the more environmentally conscious customer we offer an alternative to the digitally printed standard knitted polyester which is made from recycled plastic items. It has the same durability, strength and versatility of its knitted polyester equivalent but with a much lower environmental impact.
Anti-fray provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying and prolong the life of your flag.
What size flag should I purchase?
We’d recommend opting for a 2 yard flag if your flagpole is 6 metres tall or a 2.5 yard flag if it is 8 metres or taller. Flags are finished with a rope and toggle so are ready to fly as soon as you receive them.
