The United States state of Mississippi currently has no official flag as its former flag was retired on June 30, 2020. Its former flag consisted of three equal horizontal stripes (blue, white, and red, from top to bottom), with the Confederate battle flag in the canton area of the flag, two stripes wide and two stripes long.
Symbolism
