Puerto Rico Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Puerto Rico with our Puerto Rico Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic flag of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a powerful symbol of its unique cultural identity, its relationship with the United States, and its enduring national spirit.

The Puerto Rico banner is a horizontal tricolour, consisting of five alternating stripes of red and white. Specifically, it has three red stripes and two white stripes. A blue equilateral triangle is situated at the hoist (left) side of the flag, within which a single white five-pointed star is prominently displayed.

The red stripes symbolize the brave blood shed by the heroes of Puerto Rico’s independence movement. The white stripes represent the victory and peace that the island hopes to achieve. The blue triangle signifies the sky and the coastal waters, but also represents the three branches of the Republican government (legislative, executive, and judicial) in its symbolic form, or the sky and the sea surrounding the island. The white five-pointed star symbolizes the island of Puerto Rico itself, and its commitment to freedom and independence, standing alone in its blue sky. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Puerto Rico’s profound historical narrative, its aspirations for self-determination, and its unique place in the world. The design of the flag is famously similar to the Cuban flag, with the colors reversed, reflecting a shared history of Spanish colonialism and a common struggle for liberation in the Caribbean. The current flag was officially adopted on July 24, 1952.

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

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