Abstract: Unflurred flags are protected by equipping flag poles with a flag protector. The flag protector for protecting an unflurred flag includes a tubular chamber housing an internal cavity for the unflurred flag which chamber is vertically mounted along a staff of the flag pole. The tubular chamber includes a rope passageway communicating through the internal chamber for raising and lowering the flag with a rope along the staff. The tubular member is capped with a protective closure for protecting the unflurred flag stowed within the tubular chamber from the elements. A slotted deformable and flexible dome capping the tubular member which will deform upon pressure by an emerging flag drawn against the dome so as to provide a flag passageway and allow the flag to be pulled from and into the internal chamber after which the dome returns to its original dome configuration provides a particularly effective cap for the flag protector.
