Description of the flag

The City code of Newport News, Virginia, has confirmed it has a flag, and has indicated the artwork for the City Seal/flag is trademarked and may not be used in part or whole for any reproduction other than its intended use for the specific job that has been requested.
Mabel Washington Jenkins, MMC, City Clerk, City of Newport News

The flag is maroon, with the seal centered.

I came across an entry on the City of Newport News website (www.nngov.com/adult-corrections/services/honorguardrequests) that addresses the procedure for requesting a city honor guard be present at a ceremony. Also on the webpage is a photograph of the honor guard, holding the American flag, the Virginia flag, and a dark red flag bearing what appears to be the seal of the city of Newport News. It would make sense, therefore, that this dark red flag is the city flag.
