European Union (EU) Flag 🇪🇺

3' x 5' polyester European Union Flag with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying. ✍️ The Design: The flag of the European Union is a striking masterpiece of symbolic simplicity, representing the ideals of unity, solidarity, and harmony among the peoples of Europe. Against a solid blue field—meant to evoke the blue skies of the Western world—sits a perfect circle of twelve gold stars. Contrary to popular belief, the number of stars was never intended to represent the number of member states. Instead, the number twelve was chosen as a classic symbol of perfection, completeness, and unity (much like the months of the year or the signs of the zodiac). Adopted by the Council of Europe in 1955 and later by the EU, this flag is a powerful statement of a shared identity that transcends borders. It stands as a modern tribute to the dream of a peaceful, cooperative, and unified Europe. See all the national and city flags of Europe we offer in our European Flags Collection.
