The outdoor variant's seal and text are medium blue. All caps are used this time and the font is Microsoft Sans Serif. The words are spaced out. The current outdoor flag is seen at https://www.facebook.com/mayorsofficebristolct/photos

The indoor variant's seal and text are deep blue. The seal is a simplified variant that I cannot find online. The words seem to be less spaced out than the outdoor flag and I am not sure what font is used.

On the bottom left is a memorial for Sgt. Dustin Demonte #221; on the right is a memorial for Officer Alex Hamzy #245. The text is a very, very light grey, almost white.
