Designer
Dmitry Antonov
This flag has been designed by Dmitry Antonov from Odesa, Ukraine.
Odesa is a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. It’s known for its beaches and 19th-century architecture, including the Odesa Opera and Ballet Theater. The monumental Potemkin Stairs, immortalized in “The Battleship Potemkin," lead down to the waterfront with its Vorontsov Lighthouse. Running parallel to the water, the grand Primorsky Boulevard is a popular promenade lined with mansions and monuments.
My Design
“This design, I think, needs no explanation. Freedom and the pursuit of peace cannot be stopped by any Z-zombie. The image of this war of Putin against Ukraine for me is the hands of dead men who want to grab and drag Ukrainian freedom to their grave"
My thoughts on MrFlag’s Ukraine Flag Project
“This project is very important to me. It is important because I will be able to convey the message to the world that Putin and his army are criminals. I am not a good soldier. But during this time all Ukrainians understood that you can fight this monster not only with a gun in your hand…. but also with a brush and paints. I am very grateful to Charles of MrFlag for giving me the opportunity to participate in this project. It’s very important for us Ukrainians that the British people were the first to help us! We are very grateful to everyone in Great Britain!"
Buy the best outdoor quality flags
MrFlag® best quality outdoor printed flags are among the most versatile and best value flags on the market. Manufactured by us to produce optimum flying weights from top quality materials, our knitted polyester option is a fantastic combination of fly-ability and durability.
We expect our durable outdoor quality printed flags to last as well as sewn flags whilst flying much better at lower wind speeds. In our view, heavier sewn flags appear to last longer only because they spend less time flying in light wind.
If another flag maker claims that sewn flags last longer than MrFlag durable outdoor quality printed flags for the same number of visible flying hours, challenge them to provide the test data!
Bold vivid colours on both sides of the flag.
Our colours are bright and vivid. We start with vibrant RGB art and lay down our own 8 colour bi-directional print onto the fabric, forcing far more ink through the weave than many of our competitors.
Most flag makers in the UK and across Europe send out flags with 75-85% show-through on the reverse – while some produce as little as 50-60% after tempting you with super-low prices.
Our flags regularly test as 95% show-through; a difference which is very nearly indistinguishable to the untrained eye.
Poor show-though on flags is almost always the result of cutting corners with ink volumes or value-adding processes.
Made to order.
These durable outdoor quality printed flags are made to order and customers should allow 5-7 days for them to be manufactured and despatched. If your order is time-sensitive, please tell us at the time of ordering.

How long do MrFlag flags last?
No flag lasts for ever. This is a universal truth.
Even quality flags as durable and well-made as ours will succumb to high winds. The stronger and more frequent the wind, the sooner your flag will need to be replaced. This is normal wear and tear.
We regularly receive reports of our standard 110-115gsm knitted polyester flags lasting 12-18 months or longer, but this is not the norm and should not be expected. Many customers need to replace their flags every six months or so and most within a year, but in the winter – especially during sustained high winds – this can be much less.
You can increase the life of any flag by taking it down at night, avoiding flying it during periods of severe weather, and also by ensuring that the flagpole is free of rough patches and protrusions upon which the flag can catch.
