New York State Flag History And The Flag Company Inc

By Alfred Long


The New York Flag was formally adopted in the year 1901 and is said to be a modernized format of a Revolutionary War flag. The New York Flag history demonstrates the manner in which, the current flag came into use.

Europeans began to explore the region at the beginning of the 16th century-among the first was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian who sailed up and down the Atlantic coast in search of a route to Asia-but none settled there until 1624. Today, more than 8 million people live in the city's five boroughs.

The flag of the State of New York was adopted April 2, 1901 in this form. It consists of a blue background on which is drawn the seal of the State. The blue background was the only change in 1901. Indeed, the flag of the State of New York has long been composed of a beige background, which merged with that of the New Jersey.

The blue color was adopted, as on other flags of U.S. states like Indiana, in conjunction with the national flags blue. The seal consists of different very strong symbols: the American eagle, stands up, resting on a globe which faces the Atlantic Ocean, that borders the state to the east. To the left is the goddess of liberty, as often (see Idaho for example) keeps the Phrygian cap, a French symbol. To the right is the goddess of justice and her balance. In the center there are two boats floating on Hudson River.

A loose red robe hangs from her opposite Justice, stands "Liberty," holding a pole topped with the Phrygian cap. These caps were given to Roman slaves when emancipated and adopted by French Revolutionists as symbols of Liberty. A crown is at her left foot, thrown there to symbolize the failed control of the British Monarchy. Liberty is clothed in blue and wearing red sandals. Like Justice, a red robe hangs from her shoulder and her unbound hair is decorated with pearls.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior New York flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and inferior to American-made New York flags, but more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of New York flag for the future.
