New York State Flag
| A short history of the New YorkState flag | In 1777 New York adopted its first constitution, and the state arms were designed. This design first appeared on the flag in 1778. The figures of Justice and Liberty support a shield in which boats are overlooked by the rising sun. An American eagle perched on top of a globe, and the state motto appears in the center of a scroll below the shield composing the crest. The military flag consisted of the arms on a blue field, and in 1858 a similar flag was adopted for the state troops, but with a white background during the War of Revolution. In April 1898 the white background was changed to a buff color to match the soldiers uniforms. A few years later the color reverted to blue and remains unchanged. |
