Ecuador Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Ecuador with our Ecuador Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of Ecuador, a powerful symbol of its independence, its rich natural resources, and its national heritage.

The Ecuador banner is a horizontal tricolour, featuring three bands of yellow (top), blue (middle), and red (bottom). Notably, the yellow band occupies half the width of the flag, while the blue and red bands each take up a quarter. This specific proportion is highly symbolic, mirroring the flags of Colombia and Venezuela, reflecting their shared history as part of Gran Colombia. The yellow represents the gold and rich natural resources of the country, as well as the sun and the fertility of the land. The blue signifies the two oceans that border Ecuador (the Pacific Ocean) and separate it from its islands (the Galapagos Islands), and the skies, symbolizing the nation’s connection to the sea and its clear horizons. The red represents the blood shed by the heroes who fought for Ecuador’s independence from Spanish rule, honouring their courage and sacrifice. In the civil and state versions of the flag, the coat of arms of Ecuador is often placed at the centre. This intricate emblem includes a condor, the Chimborazo mountain, the Guayas River, a steamboat, and a sun with zodiac signs, all representing various aspects of Ecuador’s geography, history, and resources. This harmonious blend of colours and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Ecuador’s profound journey to nationhood, its geographical richness, and its enduring national pride. The flag’s design dates back to Francisco de Miranda’s flag for Gran Colombia, officially adopted by Ecuador in 1860.

Our Ecuador 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 Ecuador flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

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