Old Mississippi Flag – Mississippi State Flag – 1894–2020 Historic State Banner | Old MS Flag with Confederate Canton | Double Nylon Embroidered 3×5 Ft (Multiple Sizes Available)
The Mississippi State Flag, adopted on February 7, 1894, remained the official banner of the state until it was retired in 2020. Its design features the Confederate Battle Flag (Southern Cross) in the canton, signifying Mississippi’s role in the Confederacy, set against the national colors of red, white, and blue. The 13 stars on the cross represent the 11 Confederate states plus Kentucky and Missouri, which had pro-secessionist factions.
For over 125 years, this flag flew over Mississippi’s capitol, public institutions, and homes—symbolizing a complex chapter in Southern heritage. It was officially decommissioned by legislative act in June 2020 and replaced by the Magnolia flag.
