New Jersey State Flag - Symbolism, History, and Design #3399397 (License: Personal Use)

The New Jersey state flag features a buff-colored (light yellow) field with the state coat of arms centered. The coat of arms includes a blue shield displaying three plows-symbolizing the state’s agricultural heritage-topped by a horse’s head (representing speed and progress) and supported by Liberty (left, holding a staff with a liberty cap) and Ceres (right, goddess of agriculture, holding a cornucopia). A white banner beneath reads “Liberty and Prosperity” with “1776” in the center, marking New Jersey’s entry into the Union.
