Nebraska State Flag
3x5 Nebraska State Flag For Sale
The Nebraska state flag contains the Nebraska state seal in gold and silver on a blue field. The flag was officially designated the state flag in 1963, which makes Nebraska one of the last states to adopt an official state flag. The Nebraska state seal features a steamboat in the Missouri river, a blacksmith, and his anvil, a cabin with harvested wheat, as well as a train heading to the Rocky Mountains. The images represent the importance of settlers and agriculture. A banner above the image reads "Equality before the law." Around the outer ring of the state seal, it reads "Great Seal of the State of Nebraska, March 1st, 1867," which is the date the state joined the union.
The Nebraska flag was originally requested in 1925 by a bill that called for the state seal in gold and silver on a field of national blue," this was after a 1921 bill had called for a change of the original state seal. The architect of the Nebraska State Capitol, Bertram Goodhue, designed a new state seal (shown below) that was more symbolic in nature. However, it failed to pass the legislature. The state seal remains the same seal as designed in 1867.
