Nebraska Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Heartland

Hoisting the "Equality Before the Law" banner requires a material that can handle Nebraska's unique geographic challenges—from the humidity of the Missouri River to the dry winds of Chimney Rock. Match your region to our American-made fabrics:

• For High-Wind & Open Range: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester Nebraska Flags. Known as our "Prairie-Warrior" fabric, it is the essential choice for Scottsbluff, North Platte, and Kearney. The 2-ply construction is specifically designed to resist the abrasion caused by the constant wind-shear of the Great Plains.

• For Brilliant Color & Quick-Drying: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon Nebraska Flags are the top choice for homes in Bellevue, Fremont, and Hastings. These flags are treated with specialized UV-inhibitors to protect the "National Blue" field and the gold/silver seal from sun-bleaching, ensuring they stay vibrant and fly gracefully even in a light breeze.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every Nebraska flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows Nebraska Revised Statute 90-102. We ensure the seal is perfectly centered and the gold and silver colors meet official specifications.

What Size Nebraska State Flag Should I Buy?

While our Heavy-Duty Nylon is the standard for color, and our 2-Ply Polyester is built for Platte River winds, the most important factor in a professional display is the scale. Before you order, see our Nebraska State Flag Size Guide to learn why a 20ft residential pole typically requires a 3x5ft flag, whereas a 25ft pole—common for State Capitol buildings and local agricultural businesses—is better suited for a 4x6ft design.

Can I fly the Nebraska flag with the US flag?

Flying the American flag alongside the Nebraska state flag creates a respectful, balanced display for homes, businesses, schools, and government buildings. To simplify sizing and ensure proper etiquette, our American flag and Nebraska state flag bundle pairs both flags in matched materials, proportions, and finishes for indoor or outdoor use.

The Meaning of the Nebraska Flag: Equality Before the Law

Nebraska was one of the last states to adopt an official flag, with the current design being approved in 1925. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Cornhusker State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements within the State Seal:

• The Smith and Anvil: Representing the "mechanical arts" and the industrious nature of Nebraska’s workforce.

• Agriculture: Represented by a settler’s cabin, sheaves of wheat, and stalks of growing corn—honoring our heritage as a global food leader.

• Transportation: The seal depicts a steamboat ascending the Missouri River and a train heading toward the Rocky Mountains, symbolizing the state’s role as the "Gateway to the West."

• The Motto: At the top of the seal, the phrase "Equality Before the Law" reflects Nebraska’s pioneering spirit in civil rights (being the first state to grant black men the right to vote by Congressional mandate).

• Historical Accuracy: We ensure the "National Blue" field (PMS 282c) is exact, preventing the flag from looking "royal blue" or "purple," which are common errors in low-quality imports.
