Which is more correct? What is the correct aspect ratio? Background color? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 18:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Left/Right

[edit]

I'm assuming left/right mean when looking at the flag? This should be clarified, however, becuase it is not clear whether it means right, for example, when looking at it, or it's right. //MrD9 09:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-1901 flag?

[edit]

What did the flag look like prior to 1901? Or was there no state flag then? Шизомби 13:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem

[edit]

The page begins by stating "The flag of the State of New York is the state's coat of arms on a blue background". Go, however, to the Seal of New York page, and look at the image there. At first glance, the image on that page and on this page may seem identical - yet take a good look at an enlarged version of them both, and a wide range of differences become apparent. Is there a reason for this. Maybe, the official specifications of what the image is supposed to look like are simply not that strict or specific. The images shown on both pages would seem to conform to the blazon given on this page. Does anyone have any answers? - 121.208.89.99 (talk) 03:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 4 January 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. There is consensus to move so that the title is more precise with respect to including Flag and State; however, there isn't a consensus one way or the other in regard to using Seal vs. Coat of Arms. Unfortunate, but this has been re-listed and the last input was a week ago. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]



Coat of arms of New YorkFlag and coat of arms of New York – To more accurately describe what the article details, as it covers both topics. – Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 10:40, 4 January 2021 (UTC) Relisting. IffyChat -- 18:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per WP:CONCISE. The article is about the coat of arms. The flag and the seal are mentioned in passing because they are basically the coat of arms on a blue background and the coat of arms encircled by words, respectively. Station1 (talk) 19:03, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It would seem I further agree. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 23:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake in Historical Flag Timeline

[edit]

The previous version of this article included an error involving the buff version of the New York State flag. The buff version of the flag was not first instituted in 1778. In fact, I did not find evidence that it was in use by anyone around that time. What I found was that the state flag was ambiguously defined for about 100 years. My source even suggests that the New York state flag had a white background at one point. However, it seems overall that the blue background version was officially used by the military and seemingly was popular in some respects.

"These regulations [military flag having a white background] remained in force without change until 1876. In that year it was provided that the color of all regimental and bat talion flags was to be blue. The background of the State flag still remained white" (Corey 524).

To justify this change, since it seems like this misconception has existed for some time. Chriscost0318 (talk) 17:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
