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.
