Nebraska's official flag was
adopted in 1925. It has a deep blue field with
the state seal in the center, pictured in gold
(yellow) and silver. The state seal, designed
in 1867 by Isaac Wiles (a member of the House
of Representatives), pictures a blacksmith hammering
on an anvil, a settler's cabin, sheaths of wheat,
a steamboat on a river, and the transcontinental
railroad with mountains in the background. The
state motto "Equality Before the Law" is on
a banner above the landscape. The date of Nebraska's
admission to the union, March 1, 1867, is listed
below the seal.
