Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction features a navy-blue field with Maryland’s Great Seal of 1854 displayed in the center, surrounded by golden scrollwork. The seal shows a farmer and fisherman supporting the Calvert and Crossland arms, topped by a bald eagle—a symbol of courage and sovereignty. Beneath the shield appears the Latin motto “Crescite et Multiplicamini,” meaning “Increase and Multiply.”

The design merges state heritage with Confederate service, representing Maryland’s complex wartime position as a Union state with strong Southern sympathies. Early Maryland Confederate regiments used this version before adopting standardized battle flags. Consequently, it stands as a rare example of how local identity shaped Confederate colors during 1861–1862.
