New Jersey Flag Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Material for the Garden State

Hoisting the "Liberty and Prosperity" banner requires a material that can handle both freezing winters and sweltering summers. Match your New Jersey region to our American-made fabrics:

• For Shoreline Winds & Salt Exposure: We recommend our 2-Ply Tough-Ply Polyester New Jersey Flags. This is our "Boardwalk-Grade" fabric, designed specifically for Long Beach Island, Asbury Park, and the Gold Coast. The 2-ply construction is specifically treated to resist the abrasive effects of salt air and sand.

• For Brilliant Color & Daily Display: Our Heavy-Duty Nylon New Jersey Flags are the #1 choice for homes in Princeton, Morristown, and Cherry Hill. These flags are vapor-jetted with UV-inhibitors to protect the unique "Jersey Buff" background from sun-bleaching and "yellowing" over time.

• The Tidmore Standard: Every New Jersey flag we sell is 100% Made in the USA, FMAA-certified, and strictly follows the NJ Revised Statutes Title 52. We ensure the Goddesses Liberty and Ceres are perfectly rendered.

If you’re not sure whether nylon or polyester is right for your display, check out our guide to the best flag materials for New Jersey weather to match your material to your wind, sun, and weather conditions.

What Size New Jersey State Flag Should I Buy?

While our Heavy-Duty Nylon is the standard for color, and our 2-Ply Polyester is built for Shore winds, the scale of your flag is vital for a professional look. Before you order, see our New Jersey State Flag Size Guide to learn why a 20ft residential pole typically requires a 3x5ft flag, whereas a 25ft pole—common for Trenton government buildings and local businesses—is better suited for a 4x6ft design.

Can I fly the New Jersey flag with the American flag?

Flying the American flag alongside the New Jersey 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 New Jersey state flag bundle pairs both flags in matched materials, proportions, and finishes for indoor or outdoor use.

The Meaning of the New Jersey Flag: Liberty and Prosperity

Adopted in 1896, the New Jersey flag is steeped in Revolutionary War history. At Tidmore Flags, we honor the "Garden State" by adhering to these official symbolic requirements:

• The "Buff" Color: New Jersey is one of the few states with a non-blue field. The "Buff" color was personally chosen by George Washington in 1779 for the uniforms of the New Jersey Continental Line, honoring the state’s Dutch heritage.

• Liberty and Ceres: The seal features two goddesses. Liberty holds a staff with a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom. Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, holds a cornucopia, representing New Jersey’s status as the Garden State.

• The Three Plows: Located on the central shield, these represent the state's rich agricultural roots and the "three-way" history of the state’s early settlement.

• The Knight’s Helmet: Perched above the shield, the helmet represents New Jersey’s sovereignty and its statehood as one of the Original 13 Colonies.

• Historical Accuracy: We use the official "Jersey Buff" and "Old Glory Blue" hex codes to ensure your flag matches the standards kept at the State House in Trenton.
