New Jersey State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #1370895 (License: Personal Use)

The New Jersey state flag displays the state coat of arms on a buff (light yellow-brown) field, chosen to honor the color of Continental Army uniforms worn by New Jersey soldiers. The shield shows three plows representing agriculture, flanked by Liberty holding a staff with a liberty cap and Ceres bearing a cornucopia; above them is a horse’s head crest and a helmet, with the motto “Liberty and Prosperity” and the year 1776 below. This design reflects the state’s historical roots, agrarian heritage, and commitment to freedom and economic growth.
