The flag of the State of New York is the state's coat-of-arms on a blue background. It depicts two supporters: The left symbolizes Liberty, with the Revolutionary imagery of a Phrygian cap raised on a pole, her left foot treads upon a crown that represents freedom from the England Monarchy; The right Justice, blindfolded with scales and sword. Below is the motto "Excelsior" which is derived from Latin, and means "Ever Upward."
