Theflag in the video is checkered blue/white, 10 pieces high. However I've located aphoto of an official club function where the is chequy 6 pieces high and the color scheme light green/white (which matches the uniforms). This would seem to suggest that the details may not matter very much, just so long as there is checkering (which is BTW apparently derived from the bordure of the club emblem:http://knol.google.com/k/-/-/2o1w6bc2errno/svauuf/chico003.gif

A table flag with the writings swapped can be seen onphotostaken during the visit of Jacques Rogge, President of IOC, toCOLDEPORTES.
The two versions of the flag have a fringe reproducing the designof the Colombian national flag.

On August 4, 2010 I spotted a variant of the Coldeportes flag. The flag is a white horizontal flag but with thenew coat of arms on the middle.
I first saw this flag from apicture of a meeting, on the website of theDIMAYOR(however, since the website has changed its content, the DIMAYOR link provided does not show the flag anymore).
It's also important to notice that on the official website of Coldeportes, the flag has a tricolor diagonal border, as seen on this picture.

In 2012 there was a new logo adopted by the agency to be more in line with other government bodies in a unified branding (source:http://www.coldeportes.gov.co/coldeportes/quienes_somos/simbolos/logo_coldeportes_1137). What I can tell is the rings below the "man in motion" was removed and the outer ring was changed from solid black to the three colors of the national flag in almost a paint-brush effect. The logo font changed and the state emblem was added to the left of the overall mark. The logo can be seen athttp://www.coldeportes.gov.co/_templates/Default2016/recursos/images/cabezote/logo-coldeportes2.png. As for the flag, it did change with the logo. It can be seen athttp://www.coc.org.co/wp-content/uploads/0O5B68311-1024x683.jpg
The Olympic Committee of Colombia flag did not change.

On on 6 Sep 2003,Felipe Carrillo contributed imagesof two Colombian National Olympic Committee flags: Both are 2:3white with an emblem centered on the cloth, emblem taking abouthalf the height in width. This emblem is a plainColombian national flag stretched to a ratioof about 4:9 above a representation of the Olympic rings. One ofthe flag variants adds the country name in black bold serifcapitals above the flag.
In Felipe Carrillo’s image the Olympic rings are shown muchthicker than usual andnot interlocked; Isuppose this is a drawing error and not an actual design feature.I note also the use of different shades of blue, yellow, and red(in the flag panels and the respective ring), which might be dueto the use of inhomogeneous clipart. I kept this, against my ownopinion, to keep it in pace with our own images of the nationaland Olympic flags.

I found this flag of the Federaci�n Colombiana de F�tbol (official website at:www.colfutbol.org) which is the official Colombian Sport institution in charge of all national soccer teams. It was established, shut down and it later merged with other national soccer associations to be finally set up in its "current version" in 1971. For more historical background check (in Spanish)www.colfutbol.org/federacion/historia.htm. Regarding its symbols, you can reach them atwww.colfutbol.org/federacion/simbolos.htm.The flag is plain white with the symbol in the center.

This is the flag of the DIMAYOR (División Mayor del FútbolColombiano, or Colombian Soccer Major Division in English). TheDIMAYOR was established on June 27, 1948, right when professionalsoccer was established in Colombia. At first it included only theprofessional soccer clubs (First Division teams only) but itcurrently includes both First and Second Division teams. DIMAYORchanged its name to Asociación de Clubes del Fútbol ProfesionalColombiano, but it kept
the abbreviation DIMAYOR for reference and identificationpurposes. The First Division is called Primera A, and the SecondDivision is called Primera B.
The flag should be the emblem on white background. A variant ofthe flag is the same emblem but on yellow background (the yellowcolor.

In 2016 they changed their logo again, and a new flag is displayed. An official tweet (https://twitter.com/Dimayor/status/789282802474692608) from their official Twitter account @Dimayor (https://twitter.com/Dimayor) states that "after 8 years we are renovated", dated October 20, 2016. However, this statement is not entirely true, since the last logo had been in use since 2005. The new logo features a soccer ball in the middle, in the Adidas Telstar design, and twenty pentagons in different colors, one outer ring with 10, and one inner ring with 10 as well, representing the different professional teams.

Furthermore, the new logo became a controversial issue because of its extreme similarity to the 2022 FIFA World Cup logo.

The newspaper El Pais reports in its digital edition dated 18December 2005 that the football club Deportivo Cali, won itseight star (championship). A picture illustrating the articleshows supporters waving a green flag with a big white star.
Ivan Sache, 25 December 2005
The Colombian Soccer team is officially called Asociaci�n Deportivo Cali, better known as Depor Cali, or Super Depor (the nick Super Depor is related to the Spanish First Division Club Deportivo La Coru�a, because like the Spanish club, the Deportivo Cali is not on the top of the list but it always obtains good results and plays good soccer). The official website of the team is atwww.deporcali.com.The team was founded on January 16, 1943 and it plays in the CityofCali (or officially calledSantiago de Cali), the capital of the Department ofValle (or Valle del Cauca, its official name). This team is actually the first Colombian soccer team that can be truly called a club, with stockholders and it is building its own Stadium as well, another country's first (www.worldstadiums.com)
the flag with the star is not an official flag. The official flagis the same flag as theDepartamento deAntioquia (seewww.deporcali.com)only the colors are inverted: that is green on top and white onthe bottom.

At the site of Millonarios (Bogota) atwww.millonarios.com.co,there is a photo where you can see a blue over white flag withthe shield in the middle. I am not sure if this flag isofficial in any sence.
Carlos Thompson, 18 March 2003
Felipe Carrillo sent a diagonaly divided flag. I am not sure if this flag is official. In the web site of the club,www.futbolred.com,there is a picture , I am not sure but it seems that the flag isB-W horizontal. In the homepage there is a picture of thepublic with a big B-W-B banner.
Looking at the sites of some supporters I have found the following site:www.geocities.com/soy_de_millos/Fotos.htm. I guess that the black-blue flags are flags of the supportinggroup "Comandos Aziles" rather than flags of theteam. I can see both per fess N-B and quartered B-N-N-B,also a chekered blue-white falg, a plain blue flag with the CoAof the team and the city, a frew W-B-W horizontal tribands and abig W-B-W with a Y-R border in the bottom. The last picture, withthe red and white flags, are supporters of Santafe, the rivalteam.
In another supporting websitewww.gratisweb.com/mimillos,there is a nice picture of Gardfield dress as a Millonariossupporter, with a W-B horizontal flag with the shield of theteam.
This site further says (translated by me): The Club isrepresented by its colors blue and white which form its flag inthat exact order in equal-zised horizontal bands, a shied that wecan see in the attached picture and its beautiful anthem."
As I read the "official" flag should be blue on top.

On January 31st I was watching this documentary called "Paisas,Memorias de un Pueblo. El Deporte en Antioquia 20" (Paisas, Memoriesof a People, Sports in Antioquia (chapter) 20) ("Paisas" is a wordused by locals from the Department ofAntioquia to refer to themselves, andcomes from the word "paisano", meaning fellow countryman.
During thedocumentary,they mention theJuegos Deportivos Nacionales (National Sport Games), andspecifically the II Edition, held inAntioquia in 1932. During theinaugural parade, one can see two flags. Unfortunately since thedocumentary is in black and white, is very difficult to determine thecolors. I guess that since they are Colombian games, where allDepartments are represented,one could infer that the first flag (flag on the right) is the flag ofColombia but the other flagbehind it (flag on the left) could be a sports flag (possibly theGames flag, or it could be just the flag of any Department.
