Penguin Style Jun 2015 page 26 — A page in the Penguin Style catalog with all flags

Flags were a type of item in Club Penguin that represented real-life flags. They could be displayed in the top-left corner of a Player Card, like pins. All flags cost 20 coins each, and could be bought from the last pages of the Penguin Style catalog. Flags originally could only be bought by players with membership, but became available for all players in February 2010.^[1]

Trivia[]

There was an Antarctica flag, but it was a bait item.
There was a glitch in 2007 which often occurred when a penguin's membership ran out; if the player was wearing a flag at the end of its membership, the flag stayed on their Player Card. This glitch no longer worked as flags could be purchased by any penguin.
Different flags were used as in a coded message written by Herbert P. Bear, shown in issue #238 of the Club Penguin Times, where the flags stood for the first letter of the country they represent.
It was mentioned in episode 13 of The Spoiler Alert that many players requested the flags released in the March 2014 Penguin Style catalog.
