Cook Islands Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for the Cook Islands with our Cook Islands Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic flag of this self-governing island nation in free association with New Zealand, a powerful symbol of its unique island identity, its historical ties, and its Polynesian heritage.

The Cook Islands banner is a blue ensign design, commonly used by British Commonwealth countries, featuring the Union Jack prominently in the upper hoist (left) canton. This signifies the islands’ historical links to the United Kingdom and their ongoing association with New Zealand. The rest of the flag’s field is a vibrant blue, representing the vast Pacific Ocean that surrounds the islands, as well as peace. In the fly half (right side) of the flag, a circle of 15 white five-pointed stars is arranged. These 15 stars represent the 15 islands of the Cook Islands archipelago, symbolizing their unity and their strong bonds. The white colour of the stars signifies the purity of the people, while their arrangement in a circle represents the continuous renewal of life and the strong ties among the islands and their people. This harmonious blend of colours and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates the Cook Islands’ profound history, its island paradise, and its aspirations for continued unity and prosperity. The current flag was officially adopted on July 24, 1979.

Our Cook Islands mini flag patches measure 1.5″ x 2.5″ (approximately 3.8 cm x 6.3 cm), making them an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items. Each patch comes with an iron-on backing for quick and easy initial application to most fabrics. However, for the most secure and permanent attachment, especially on garments that will be frequently washed or endure heavy use, sew-on installation is highly recommended. This ensures your Cook Islands flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

Whether you’re a traveller, a collector, or simply a proud citizen, our national flag patches are the perfect way to express yourself.
