That is not the correct way to ad a border to images. That should be done when the flag is placed on a page and not here. Reverted to version as of 19:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Connected lines where their were breaks, tapered some line (fingers, toes, feathers, chins) some simple refinements, changed the eagle to the color found here: https://dos.ny.gov/new-york-state-emblems
Took the original file (pre 2020 change), and just made the 2020 change to it. This way we keep the file in the same style as it used to be (and matches the correct colors as defined by New York State). The variant that was thrown on there is just the proposal flag from when Cuomo made his first suggestion to add E Pleribus Unun to the seal.
