New Jersey, like many of the original 13 colonies have flags seeped in tradition. They date back to the days of transition from royal or provincial colonies to states. Convenience should not dictate flag design. New Yorks state flag while changed a bit dates to the original flag carried by the 3rd NY Regiment during the Revolution. An original of that flag is on display at the Albany Institute.
My NY towns flag & seal portray a soldier from the Revolution, the war ended here and a peace was declared here in 1783. My county flag well its one of those screwed up ones an orange tree, when the county was actually named after William of Orange.
It best to leave the old ones alone.
