A simple, friendly guide to a proud blended symbol.

Have you ever seen a flag that looks a little U.S. and a little Mexico? It catches your eye, right now. It feels like family, roots, and home—times two. Let’s make it easy and fast to understand.

Short answer: There is no official “Mexican-American flag.” People use creative designs that mix the U.S. stars and stripes with Mexico’s green-white-red colors and the eagle on a cactus with a snake. The look changes by artist, but the idea is the same: two homes in one symbol.

So… what does it look like, exactly?

Most versions blend parts of both flags. Think of a split down the middle, a fade from one to the other, or the Mexican eagle placed on U.S. stripes. Some designs shape it like a heart or use two small flags crossed like friends.

Common layouts you’ll see

• Half-and-half: Left side Mexico (green-white-red), right side U.S. (red-white stripes with stars).
• Overlay: U.S. stripes in back, Mexican eagle and cactus on top.
• Crossed flags: Two mini flags on sticks, one U.S., one Mexico.
• Heart or shield: A single shape filled with both designs.

Colors and symbols made simple

• Mexico: Green, white, red. In the center, an eagle with a snake, standing on a cactus.
• United States: Red and white stripes. Blue square with white stars.

Blended flags often keep these key parts so the meaning stays clear and kind.

What people want it to say

• Pride: “This is my story.”
• Family: “These are my roots.”
• Bridge: “I belong to both worlds.”

How to spot a respectful design

• Clear symbols: The eagle looks like an eagle, the stars look like stars.
• True colors: Keep the main colors bold and bright.
• Balanced: One side does not hide the other.
• Friendly tone: The goal is unity, not clash.

Easy ideas for shirts, stickers, and art

• Side-by-side patch: A small split flag on the chest.
• Heart blend: A heart that fades from green-white-red to stars and stripes.
• Circle badge: A round logo with both flags around the edge.
• Waving pair: Two tiny flags crossing like pals.

Care tips for your blended flag items

• Wash gentle and cold to keep colors bright.
• Hang dry when you can.
• Keep stickers out of harsh sun for long life.

Quick Q&A

Is there one official Mexican-American flag? No. There isn’t an official one. People make many styles.

Why do designs look different? Artists mix symbols in new ways, but the meaning—two homes, one heart—stays.

Can I make my own? Yes. Keep the main symbols clear and kind. Balance both sides with care.

The big idea

A “Mexican-American flag” is not a single, official flag. It is a loving blend of Mexico’s colors and eagle with the U.S. stripes and stars. That mix tells a simple story: I honor my roots, and I stand proud today. Two homes. One me.
