The coat of arms of the state of New Jersey includes: It was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777 and was modified slightly in 1928.

[3] The seal is described in New Jersey statute Title 52, §2-1:[4] The great seal of this state shall be engraved on silver, which shall be round, of two and a half inches in diameter and three-eighths of an inch thick; the arms shall be three ploughs in an escutcheon, azure; supporters, Liberty and Ceres.

The Goddess Liberty to carry in her dexter hand a pole, proper, surmounted by a cap gules, with band azure at the bottom, displaying on the band six stars, argent; tresses falling on shoulders, proper; head bearing over all a chaplet of laurel leaves, vert; overdress, tenne; underskirt, argent; feet sandaled, standing on scroll.

A winning design by Andrew Maris of Fair Haven was chosen, but no legislative action has been taken to authorize a new flag.

[7] In a 1965 law, the specific color shades of Jersey blue and buff were defined by the state.
