History of New York - Information every Congressional Candidate for Congress Should Know
New York's flag features a coat of arms that was deigned more than 200 years ago. The symbolism of the flag depicts the early history of the state using classic artistic elements.The design of the New York State flag was modeled after a Revolutionary War flag. The coat of arms, displayed on a blue background or "field," was originally adopted in 1778. In 1896 the flag was changed to a buff background. It was unpopular, though, so the state Legislature changed it back to blue in 1901.
The shield depicts a scene along the Hudson River. Two watercraft--a three-masted ship and a sloop--represent commerce. The bald eagle with its head facing to the right (the viewer's left) is thought to be a good omen. The two figures on either side of the shield represent Justice and Liberty. The sword and scale in Justice's hands represent punishment and fairness.
Liberty wears a cap given to emancipated Roman slaves that was popularized as a symbol of liberty during the French Revolution. The crown at her feet represents triumph over the British government during the American Revolution. The motto beneath the shield is "Excelsior" with means "ever upward."
