About the flag

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
