The design on the Virginia Flag Pole Hem comes from this history.

The Virginia flag carries the obverse of the Great Seal of the Commonwealth on a deep blue field. The Virginia Convention adopted the seal on July 5, 1776, from a design by a committee led by George Wythe.

The seal shows Virtus, the Roman goddess of virtue and the guiding spirit of the Commonwealth, dressed as an Amazon. She rests on a spear and holds a sheathed sword, standing over Tyranny: a fallen man whose crown lies beside him, with a broken chain in one hand and a scourge in the other. Below them runs the motto Sic Semper Tyrannis, Thus Always to Tyrants.

Today the Code of Virginia (§ 1-506) defines the flag as a deep blue field with a white circle in the center bearing the coat of arms, with an optional white fringe on the edge furthest from the staff.

Symbolism at a Glance

  • Virtus: Virtue and the guiding spirit of the Commonwealth.
  • Tyranny: Overthrown, with a fallen crown, a broken chain and a scourge.
  • Sic Semper Tyrannis: Thus Always to Tyrants, a warning to any tyrant.
  • Deep blue field and white circle: The field and center set out in the Code of Virginia.

Ways to display the Virginia Flag Pole Hem:

  • Offices and conference rooms on an indoor pole and stand
  • Parades and ceremonies
  • Schools, classrooms and auditoriums
  • Homes, on a pole without a halyard

Is the Virginia Flag Pole Hem for indoor or outdoor use?

Both. The pole hem slides over the pole, indoors or out. For a flagpole with a halyard and snap hooks, see the grommets version.

What other versions of the Virginia flag are there?

We also make it with brass grommets for outdoor flagpoles, and with white fringe or gold fringe for ceremonial display.

What order do the American and Virginia flags go in?

On one pole, the American flag flies at the peak with the Virginia flag beneath it. On adjacent poles, the American flag is hoisted first and lowered last, and the Virginia flag never goes above it or to its right, so the American flag sits at its own right, the viewer’s left (U.S. Flag Code, 4 U.S.C. § 7).

Do you carry Virginia county and city flags?

Yes. Virginia county and city flags, such as Loudoun County, are in State & Territory Flags, along with the flags of the other 49 states.
