Dominica Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Dominica with our Dominica Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of Dominica, a powerful symbol of its independence, its unique natural environment, and its vibrant national identity.

The Dominica banner features a vibrant green field crossed by three stripes in a vertical and horizontal cross pattern: yellow (vertical and horizontal), black (vertical and horizontal), and white (vertical and horizontal), from outer to inner respectively. At the centre of the flag, a red disc is prominently displayed, containing a Sisserou Parrot (Amazona imperialis) perched on a branch, encircled by ten green five-pointed stars (also with yellow borders). The green field represents the lush vegetation, the rich forests, and the agricultural vitality of the island. The yellow stripes symbolise the bright sun, the main agricultural products (like citrus and bananas), and the indigenous Carib people, who are a significant part of Dominica’s heritage. The black stripes signify the fertile soil of the island and the African heritage of the majority of its population. The white stripes represent the pure rivers, waterfalls, and the aspirations for peace and purity. The red disc represents justice, the commitment to social justice, and the island’s socialist beliefs. The Sisserou Parrot, Dominica’s national bird, symbolises the flight towards greater heights, while the ten green stars represent the ten parishes of the island, signifying their unity and equality. This harmonious blend of colours and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Dominica’s profound natural beauty, its diverse heritage, and its aspirations for a unified and prosperous future. The current flag was officially adopted on November 3, 1978, upon gaining independence from the United Kingdom.

Our Dominica 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 Dominica 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.
