The Society of the Cincinnati is an organization composed of lineal male descendants of French and American officers who fought in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. It was founded by a group of men that included George Washington, Pierre L’Enfant, Henry Knox, and le Marquis de la Fayette. The city of Cincinnati was named after the society. The flag itself was designed by Baron von Steuben in 1786, and closely resembles the 13-star, 13-stripe American flag designed by L’Enfant. The Society of the Cincinnati’s flag, however, has 13 light blue stripes, and in the canton, the Cincinnati eagle is within 13 stars. The canton appears to be the same color as the blue stripes. Images of the flag can be viewed on the French Society’s website.

A detailed image of the Cincinnati eagle can be seen at web.archive.org. The motto is “Omnia relinquit servare rembublicam,” or “He gave up everything to serve the republic,” referring to the Roman leader Cincinnatus, after whom the society is named.

The flag of the Society of the Cincinnati, 1786, is found on page 1. The colors listed as “White canton; brown eagle with white head and tail, yellow beak and claws; green leaves; 7 white, 6 light blue stripes.”

“Right after the Revolution, American and French veterans of the war founded an organization which still exists today. They named it after Cincinnatus, the Roman soldier who returned to his farm after saving his country as a military leader — an obvious reference to George Washington. Blue was considered to be the American color; hence the stripes.”

Custom Made of durable and long-lasting nylon fabric and solid brass grommets, this flag lasts much longer than our Standard flag. You won’t find nylon flags with higher tensile and tear strength. It has excellent strength retention under UV exposure, and high resistance to UV fading. The colors are deep, bright, and last over time due to the aniline dye process. They have better wash-fastness and light-fastness than nylons of similar fabric construction. One inch double edge fold around flag, with four rows of stitching on the fly edge. There is reinforced stitching at the top and bottom of the fly edge of the flag.

You can order this flag in various sizes, from 5×8 feet to 12×18 feet. This high-quality flag is 100% made in the USA.
