Outdoor Gonzales Banner flags are USA made of nylon flag material and are finished with a canvas heading and two brass grommets on the hoist side, 2 rows of stitching top and bottom sides and 4 rows of stitching on the fly side. They are attached to the flagpole by means of a halyard (rope) and flag snaps, or to smaller poles with flag fasteners. The Gonzales Banner is available in 3x5 ft, 4x6 ft, 5x8 ft. and 6x10 ft

Gonzales Banner flag decals are U.S.A. made, 3 1/4" x 5", on self-adhesive vinyl stock, for long-lasting, waterproof and UV resistant wear.

The Gonzales Banner design consists of a 5 pointed black star above a simple black cannon image on a white field with the words "come and take it" spelled in capital letters along the bottom edge of the flag. The "Come and Take It" slogan was used during the American Revolution and recognized a written response to British forces demanding surrender of Ft. Morris, south of Savannah, Georgia in November 1778. "As to surrendering the fort, receive this laconic reply: COME AND TAKE IT!". No cannon flag was associated at this time. The British withdrew at that time, but the fort succumbed to a larger British force several months later. The event became inspirational to American patriots.

The "Come and Take It" flag was first used as a symbol of defiance by Texan settlers at the Battle of Gonzales in October of 1835, a minor battle considered to be the opening shot fired in the Texas Revolution against the government of Mexico. The cannon had originally been provided by Mexico as defense of their own colony in 1831. The Mexican military failed in their attempt to recover the cannon. In the February of 1836, Mexican forces returned and inflicted a devastating loss on the Texans at the Battle of Alamo. (The iconic Alamo flag is a variation of the Mexican flag and is associated with a demand for protecting American settler rights outlined in the Mexican Constitution of 1824).
