The Curious Story of the Original Pride Flag from 1978
The original PRIDE flag designed by Gilbert Baker had 8 stripes as a celebration of the diversity of the early gay rights movement and was first flown in 1978.
The modern version of the PRIDE Flag only has 6 stripes but the story of how that came to be is a curious twist of history.
These flags were huge, over 30 feet long and to get the material was a supply issue in the 70s so when they went to produce the 2nd flag they couldn't source the Aqua color so it was removed leaving only 7 stripes.Â
Later for a project lining the streets of San Francisco the flag was further simplified to 6 stripes and this is the design that became known around the world.Â
However the original design had an altruistic and beautiful concept that highlighted special qualities for each color.
The universality of this concept and the significance of this symbol which is world famous was why Dynomighty chose to produce this homage to the original PRIDE Flag.
The PRIDE Mighty Wallet is a celebration of "Love is love is love" and a perfect gift for any LGBTQ+ member of your life.
