Flag of Nebraska

The current design was commissioned in 1925, when the Nebraska legislature passed a bill stating that the flag would consist of the state seal in gold and silver on a field of blue.

The seal appeared on unofficial state banners prior to 1925, sometimes on a field of yellow.

One attempt was made by the architect of the Nebraska State Capitol, Bertram Goodhue.

The official design was first displayed at a 1926 New Year's Day celebration at the Nebraska State Capitol.

In 2017, State Senator Burke Harr proposed a task force charged with redesigning the flag, citing the fact that the flag had flown upside down at the capitol for 10 days with no one noticing.
