2-Ft. x 3-Ft. Chicago Nylon Flag

An esteemed image to wave majestically within the city is this 2-Ft. x 3-Ft. Chicago Nylon Flag. It pictures five alternating horizontal bicolor stripes in white and light blue. The three white bands represent the North, West, and South sides of Chicago. The two light stripes depict the city's water forms, connoting the top blue bar to Lake Michigan and the north branch of the Chicago River, while the bottom blue band symbolizes the south branch of the river and the Great Canal over the Chicago Portage. The middle white stripe carries four six-pointed stars to pay tribute to Chicago's historical events, and the points of the stars represent important virtues or concepts. The historic events represented by the stars are the establishment of Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933–34. These elements are manifested using an acid-dye construction on a piece of 200-denier nylon fabric. The flag offers durability as it is tailored with four rows of stitching on the edges and is finished with a canvas header and grommets to connect steadily onto a flagpole halyard. Fly a durable flag that can hold out against low and high wind speed ratings.
