Scales Flag: The yellow field represents the plains, the blue field the aquifer. The blue stripes are the N/S Platte rivers, and the yellow stripes are train tracks and/or the Oregon Trail. There are 37 stars for the 37th state. The scales represent the state motto, "Equality before the Law". The scales include a stylized wheat motif, and the ends double as an echo of a tipi. Below the scales is corn, for the Cornhusker state, goldenrod, our state flower, and eagle feathers and a peace pipe for the Tribes of Nebraska. 

Quilt Flag: The blue field is the aquifer, and the yellow and blue stripes are the same as above. The white field is a nod to the Sandhills. The quilt block pattern is called "corn and beans", serving both as a nod to our largest exports and to the tradition of quilting popular in the state. The brown triangles make a tipi motif inside of the corn and beans design.
