Even though we have our own Flats Nation Flag (see below) that you can order and place on some cool Swag and Merch or now the actual flag by clicking Here
Like the Mugs that have become popular!
We have been working on variants of our Flag designs for our Fans and Supporters in other countries where Flats Fishing is well known and, many times, a targeted travel destination so they (also) can Represent both Flats Nation and their own National Pride at the same time. 😎
And if you don't think the National Pride aspect is important, you have never watched a FIFA World Cup Match! 😁
This reminds me of the funny yet simply brilliant marketing campaign that KIA produced for the 2014 World Cup to help explain "Futbol" to those in the USA, much less here in Florida, even though (we) pass it a lot more than it is ever kicked! 😃 Maybe it is time to rename our version to Passball? See if you agree by watching all three of them below 😉
So, along these same lines for the huge amount of Flats Fishing Fans Worldwide, we have started an entire series of Flats Nation-theme flag designs for the World Cup of Flats Fishing (which needs an online Tournament program just for such) that you can like, and order some Merch and Swag using them! 😎
Oh, and this is just the beginning, Sports Fans... We will have some actual Flags, Hats, and Stickers based on each design for you to order here soon! Some you can already view by clicking Here.
Here are the ones we have in alphabetical order, and all you need to land some cool stuff based on each one is to click on each flag picture or denoted link to get some for yourself!
The Bahamas
And a big shout out to Captain (Brother) Travis Sands, who helped us pick out the final selection from the proofs I sent him.

Our Fly Fishing Manager on Flats Nation (Brother Christian) worked with me on this, and we feel it turned out well! You can click here to review and order some awesome items based on it.
The beauty of the National Flag of Mexico with its Eagle (Crested Caracara), of which we also have some in Florida. It is a stunning bird to see in the wild, presenting design challenges! At one point I was not happy about both artistically and historically, and had removed the Eagle for some time while working on the design... But, with the help of a good friend of Flats Nation in Mexico, Gerardo Diliegros of Snook Fly Mexico, who now has his own collection in our store, click on his logo below.
After exchanging proofs, design changes, and ideas, we (thanks again, Brother) came out on top and thought it was awesome! 😎

Worked on this one with Captain Jason Moore, who goes there quite often to pick fights with some of those Huge Jungle Tarpon that they have! Thus, it was only fitting that our Flats Nation Tarpon Logo land on this one! 😁

Our brother-in-arms down in Puerto Rico, Captain Antonio Flecha, is working with us on some other important projects found by clicking Here. He was a big help in getting this one created and tweaked from the proofs I sent to him for review and selection. Thanks again, Antonio, and Welcome Aboard Flats Nation, Brother!

We thank you for your orders (enjoy and do share), and send us some pictures of you wearing and/or using them no matter what parts of the "Flats Nation" you are located!
We will have more flags of other Great Countries that have just some awesome Flats Fishing destinations on the way, as the design process for some of them is not an easy artistic task at all 😉
In a nutshell, If the Flats Fishing is awesome there, we are working on the creation of a special "Flats Nation" style Flag design for all our Fans and Friends to display, wear, and enjoy! 😎
And don't forget the right tunes to help you get in the proper frame of mind and not be held responsible if you find yourself looping this one over and over again... 😎
