Description of the flag

Brigham Young University, located in Provo, Utah (US), is the nexus for the higher education of members of the Church of Latter Day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormons. In recent years the university has established satellite centers at Laie, Hawaii, and Rexburg, Idaho. Although neither the student body nor the faculty/staff are exclusively Mormon, non-Mormons are expected to adhere outwardly to the practices and teachings of the church, i.e., no coffee, no smoking, a proper spirit of respect if not of reverence for church scriptures and teachings, etc.

The university archives have a b&w photograph of the preparation of the BYU flag in 1971 as part of the inauguration ceremony of a new university president. The accompanying text provides details of the designer, the seamstress who prepared the flag, and its design and composition.

I hope to find a colored image of the flag to submit as well. In any event, there can be no question about the official status of this flag.

The flag is a blue horizontal flag (http://dmblood.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f900c8e8833017d3bfa03ca970c-800wi, source: http://dmblood.typepad.com/the_curmudgeonly_professo/2012/09/the-proper-patriotic-display-of-the-american-flag-with-the-byu-flag-just-below.html), showing the logo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYU#mediaviewer/File:BYUlogo.png, source: http://www.ksl.com/?sid=22214205) in the middle. There's also a variant, seen at local BYU Cougars games with inverted colors, as seen here: http://img.ksl.com/slc/2501/250178/25017816.jpg

This is the flag which is flown at the College Football Hall of Fame, and as you can see it differs materially from the official flag of 1971.
