State Flag<\/summary>\n

Nevada has had four different flags in its history. The fourth and current flag was adopted in 1991. State Senator Bill Raggio introduced Senate Bill 396 of the 66th Session to change the previous flag statute. The change put “Nevada” below the star and above the sagebrush in a semicircular pattern that was easier to read than on the previous flag. The flag amendment also chose specific colors for the flag, the type of material, and printing method used when making the flag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the field in the upper left quarter thereof must be two sprays of Sagebrush with the stems crossed at the bottom to form a half wreath.

State Colors-Silver and Blue

<\/summary>\n

Nevada has two official state colors, silver and blue. In 1983, Governor Richard Bryan signed into law the bill that officially designated silver and blue as Nevada’s state colors. The reason silver was chosen as one of the state’s colors was because the mineral, silver, has played an important role in Nevada’s history. Nevada is even known as “the Silver State.” Blue was selected to represent the cobalt blue of the state’s flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
