J. Lloyd McMaster |
The flag of Nebraska is a blue cloth charged with the state seal. The current design was adopted in 1925, yet a design in 1921 from an architect based in New York State was rejected by the state government. The official designation of the design as the state flag occurred in 1963; Nebraska was one of the last states to adopt an official flag.1
The Nebraska Flag was rated in a survey by the North American Vexillological Association as 71st out of 72 U.S. and Canadian flags, making it the 2nd worst flag in the survey.2 The only flag that was ranked lower was the 2001 Georgia Flag. However in 2003, Georgia changed its flag to its current design. As a result, the Nebraska Flag is the lowest ranking flag in the survey that is still in use.
