NOTE: Lists added to this page should be actual lists, not just include the one state that has designated an official state emery board. Also, if items can be integrated into one list, please do so. Official state pants, shoes and hats could all be unified under official state clothing, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.126.38 ( talk) 03:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Is there an article which explains the tradition of states designating these official symbols, the history of this tradition, and what the implications of a designation is? I don't know if this is a matter of confusion to citizens of other countries, or whether similar traditions exist in other countries. When did these traditions begin? What does designating a 'state bird', 'state flower', etc. mean? If the symbol is of economic value (state food, for example), does it indicate economic subsidies to the industry to support its use? If the symbol is environmental/ecological (state bird, state flower, state tree), does the designation imply legally enforced protection of the species? If a state designates a 'state clothing', does it legally require all citizens to wear that clothing at all times? (bizarre sounding, but someone from a more legally restricted society might get that impression) 69.95.238.89 16:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Color me confused. This article is a list of links to articles about state insignia by topic. It has two navigation templates at the bottom. One (which is hidden by default) lists links to articles about state insignia by topic (that is, it has the exact same content as the article). The other navbox (which is displayed by default) lists links to articles about state insignia by state. When I added links to articles about state insignia by state to the article text, my text was deleted as redundant to the navbox. Why is one list deemed redundant to the navbox, but not both? Why have this article at all, if navboxes are deemed sufficient? -- Orlady ( talk) 20:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps a new section should be added for the State Crests [1]? -- 207.114.206.48 ( talk) 09:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
added List of U.S. state firearms despite top note regarding single state symbols since PA seriously considered adopting one in 2010, and the novelty is deafening. I think we may see more of these popping up in the next few years. -- PopeFauveXXIII ( talk) 13:09, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of United States state prisons which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 14:16, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Lists of United States state insignia →
Lists of United States state symbols – The word insignia connotes visual symbolism, but many of these are non-visual symbols of their respective states. Also, state symbols appears to be the common name for this topic. Furthermore, I would expect
Lists of United States state insignia to list official
state flags,
seals,
arms, etc. (actually, rather like
List of U.S. state, district, and territorial insignia).
