Our Story

Peninsula Gear Company was born out of necessity—a necessity for a flag that would represent our little corner of the world. As you can see from our products, we are located in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Or Wisconsin.. Or Canada.. Or sometimes we don’t even exist!

Over the years, we have been all of the above on some map, in an ad, or in a news broadcast, but contrary to those images, we do exist and are the better half of Michigan. Well, at least in our opinion, and since this is our site, that’s all that matters!

It all started with a need for a flag that would represent our area, a flag that could be proudly flown on our flagpole. After some exhaustive searching, we came to the conclusion that there was just nothing out there, and that’s when the thought process started.

After a year or so of making some designs, we decided it was time to take this to the next stage. After some discussions with community members and getting a lot of positive feedback, it was time to get these flags out to the public. While we may only have a few designs available right now, we have more in the works and plan to continue developing more as time allows. For now, we are happy to start sharing our love for this area with everyone else.

From Yoopers, For Yoopers

Inspired by the rugged beauty of Lake Superior and the independent spirit of the Upper Peninsula, we set out to create flags that would showcase the pride and identity of this amazing place. We believe that flags are more than just pieces of fabric. They are symbols of our heritage, our values, and our connection to fellow Yoopers.

Thank you for choosing Peninsula Gear Company! We are proud to be a part of the Upper Peninsula story and we look forward to continuing to serve the needs of Yoopers and fans of the Upper Peninsula for years to come.
