The New Mexico Flag
The New Mexico flag is commonly manufactured from nylon. The flag of Honor gives U.S. citizens and others symbols that will forever memorialize those that were lost as a result of the tragic events of 9-11.
Like most banners and flags, the NM flag is made from outstanding materials that include the polyester.
The flag-colors represent Isabella of Castile, her heirs and those who explored on her behalf. The colors remind many, including myself, of the colors used on the national flag of Spain. The yellow and red colored "Cross of Burgundy" banner was the official military flag of the Kingdom of Spain for decades.
The state's landscape ranges from wide, pink colored deserts to snow covered mountains. Despite the state's "arid" image, forests cover a substantial area of the state, especially towards the north portion of the state. Interestingly, the government of the United States protects an incredible amount of acres of the territory as national forests.
During the first years of statehood, New Mexico did not have, let alone fly a representing flag from flagpoles. During the World Fair of '15, which was organized in the city of San Diego, the flag displayed on behalf of NM was unofficial and showed a blue background with the Stars and Stripes in the canton. Also, the words "New Mexico" and the number forty-seven were displayed in silver colored letters in the middle of the flag.
Unlike other state and territorial historical flags hoisted on US flag poles in this part of the world, the NM flag is considered the best designed flag by flag-organizations. Actually, a poll or survey held by NAVA concluded that it was in fact the best designed banner, comparing its design to many others.
