Old n' New Jersey United Flag - from UK to the USA


When people in the USA think of New Jersey, they often think of the shore and amusement.  Likewise in the UK, Brits think of the shore and amusement.  Both Jerseys, Old and New, are famous for their coastlines and being a destination point for tanning and relaxation during the summertime.

For the United Jerseys Flag, the Goddesses have changed their clothing to old maid English medieval style.  Instead of three plows, there are the three lions on the New Jersey's coat of arms, but the lions are on New Jersey blue instead of English red.  The background has a red saltire of Jersey and finally, the coronet of old Jersey is placed upon the horse's head.  Surely, there are few people who have heritage from Jersey and New Jersey.  If so, this flag is dedicated to yous, as we say with a Jersey Accent.

New and Old Jersey are Fantastic Spots for Boating
European Jersey is by the coast of France, in the middle of the English Channel.  Jersey is one part of the few parts of UK that sees eye to eye with US, via latitude with the United 48.  The upper periscope-peninsula of Minnesota matches this latitude Jersey, UK.   On the other hand, American Jersey is on par with the Belearic Islands of Spain or rather the boot heel of Italy.  Although Euro Jersey is much smaller than Yankee Jersey, Original Jersey is action packed with history, castles, eating, and shopping.

I suppose it's high time for a EURO JERSEY style Monopoly version!? The player pieces could be a knight, British Bulldog, WWI battleship, a gurning face with a horse collar, a Rolls Royce, and a Spitfire airplane.  Instead of Board Walk and Park Place, the
high end properties in Euro Jersey would be Elizabeth Castle & Pelmont Bay?

Funny thing is that American Jersey is the only official state flag to have a proper English style heraldic flag, all the other states use a post modern creative American type of heraldry that does not follow usual rules (to the amusement of traditional heralds).  New Jersey's flag is perfectly of a regal spirit, unlike New York.  This is one place where NJ outshines her shiny rival to the north.  New Jersey has a classy flag, for a classy people.

  1. Firstly, we refer to what you call ‘Lions’ on the crest as Leopards..the Duke of Normandies Leopards. Secondly, we are not and never have been English, a lot of us Jersey born don’t identify as British even.
