New Jersey state flag was adopted on March 26, 1896, and in 1938 a law clarified that the right to display the flag was not limited to the governor alone. It is the only flag of the 50 state flags to have a background of buff, although frequently this is incorrectly shown as yellow.
Symbols on the state seal: the three plows on the shield honor the state's agricultural tradition. The helmet above the shield faces forward, an attitude denoting sovereignty and thus particularly fitting for one of the first governments created under the notion that the state itself is the sovereign.
The crest above the helmet is a horse's head (the horse is also New Jersey's official state animal). The supporting female figures are Liberty and Ceres (Roman goddess of grain - a symbol of abundance). Liberty carries the liberty cap on her staff and Ceres holds a cornucopia filled with harvested produce.
New Jersey's seal was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777 and has had only minor changes made since then. Liberty originally held her staff in the crook of her arm rather than her right hand.
Thus the fertility of the state is depicted through these symbolic figures. Below them is a ribbon, gloriously displaying the state motto "Liberty and Prosperity" and the year 1776, when the state gained independence. Above the figures, is a knight's helmet, a horse's head, with blue filigree decorating it. The New Jersey Flag makes interesting use of goddesses to denote the prosperity of the state.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior New Jersey flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and inferior to American-made New Jersey flags, but more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of New Jersey flag for the future.
