- Flag:
Emblazoned on a dark blue field is the state coat of arms. The
goddess Liberty holds a pole with a Liberty Cap on top. Liberty
stands for freedom. At her feet is a discarded crown,
representing freedom from England at the end of the
revolutionary war. On the right is the goddess, Justice. She
wears a blindfold and carries the scales of justice. Meaning
that everyone receives equal treatment under the law. The state
motto "Excelsior" on a white ribbon expresses the idea of
reaching upward to higher goals. On the shield a sun rises over
the Hudson highlands and ships sail the Hudson river. Above the
shield is an eagle resting on a globe representing the Western
Hemisphere.
