It’s a red flag with the club symbol centered: a pointy shield over a
bicicle wheel proper, the shield with a white border and vertically
partitioned in red and white, charged with a golden old-style foot ball in
the center and with a counter bend, blue, with the club’s initials
("SLB" — standing for Sport Lisboa e Benfica,
that is, Sport Lisbon and Benfica, Benfica being a neighborhood in Lisbon)
in gold on it, all topped by a golden eagle holding a green and red scroll
with the club’s motto in black: "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
Jorge Candeias, 28 Jan 1999
This flag
can be seen at the clubs HQ and stadium in Lisbon and in many other locations
throughout the country. The Benfica flag described by Adolf Durand in
[drn92], with white background and thin red
stripes top and bottom, is not the official flag but one of many often
variations.
António Martins, 26 Jul 1999
Variations exist and are often used by the supporters, notably
horizontal tribands of red-white-red with the club badge centered (or
with two club badges in the white stripe, or with several inscriptions)
and the same, but with the another stripe, white, added to the top and
the bottom of the flag.
Jorge Candeias, 28 Jan 1999
Adolf Durán [drn92]
describes incorrectly the red-white-red unnoficial flag design as the
official one — perhaps influenced by the (similar) official
flag of F.C.Porto.
António Martins, 22 Aug 2003
This incorrect version of Sport Lisboa e Benfica club was
proeminently shown on TV today, in a animation clip announcing this
club’s victory in the national soccer cup, at the end of the official
TV broadcast. As usual, the official flag (all red with the emblem on it),
was flown at the club stadium.
António Martins, 16 May 2004
A Benfica fan flag, probbably an one-off flag, not the flag
of any fan organization.
