New Mexico State Colors

Red and Yellow of Old Spain

 

Adopted in 1925.

 

Adopted in 1925, the flag combines the ancient sun symbol of the Zia Pueblo Indians  (this symbol was found on a water jar made in the late 1800's in Zia Pueblo) with the red and yellow (gold) colors of the flag carried into New Mexico by the Spanish conquistadores in the early 1500's..

Spanish Flag Meaning:

Red and yellow are traditional Spanish colors and originate from the coat of arms of the original Spanish kingdoms. No other countries used the red and yellow colors at that time.
