New Jersey

Uggh. There's another trophy from a smurf hunt. Looks like they got Papa.
Beyond having words and "hand," this flag fails thematically because it is just plain anachronistic. We see three plows and a cornucopia, both symbols of agriculture. But it is a well established fact that, aside from median strips, New Jersey is entirely paved. The state's nickname, "The Garden State," is also baffling until it is understood that no one uses that phrase absent its suffix "Parkway." The severed horse head is a nice nod to the mafia, but it really has to go anyway.

This is more like it. After all, what's more American than car culture and the open road? The green stripes at the top and bottom represent current agriculture in New Jersey. Adopt this flag, New Jersey! You're welcome.
