The white flag provided by Auriel is vouched for at an unofficial fan 
website : "The official flag of the timão was always the same: totally white with the club badge in the 
center."

At
http://www.flickr.com/photos/51033934@N07/4691403376/in/photostream/ we can 
see a cartoon by Brazilian humourist Edson Rontani, featuring the flag of famous 
Sport Club Corínthians Paulista. Stylized/sketched as it is, it is however 
clearly the official flag, not the licensed fans’ flag or any other variant.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 22 February 2012
The licensed black supporters' flag is from soccersports.com.br (link no

I recently saw on "Reporters" on BBC News 24 TV a report from São Paulo which 
included a shot of what were presumably street vendors moving down a line of 
stationary traffic hawking their wares. They were carrying flags which clearly 
represent this football club - the badge is clear - but they are a 
black-white-black vertical tricolor. Although they were not visible, the 
tricolor looks as though it has room for the four stars which appear on the 
black version above.

Ipê Clube was established in 29 January 1946 in Paulo, by a group of pelota 
players of E.C. Banespa who were upset by social discrimination. The club was 
named for ipê trees growing near its social seat, located near Ibirapuera Park.

Club website
The flag of Ipê Clube is horizontally divided in ten horizontal stripes, in 
turn yellow and purple, with the club's emblem placed in the center.
The 
yellow and purple colors are those of ipê flowers (yellow for the golden trumpet 
tree, Handroanthus albus (Cham.) Mattos; purple for the pink trumpet 
tree, Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos), while the ten 
stripes symbolize the ten founders of the club, Cymbelino de Freitas, Dario 
Machado de Oliveira, Horácio Martins, João Vieira Machado, João Dias da Silveira 
(President), José Dias da Silveira, José Antonio Sampaio, Octavio Mello, Roger 
Rosenwald and Walter Leser.

Palmeiras means "palm trees."
Auriel de Almeida, 13 March

This flag, green with a white diagonal from lower hoist to upper fly, is 
shown on the official website, 
www.palmeiras.com.br/, as is the vertical green-white-green triband shown 
below (click on Bandeira.

Various unofficial sites insist on this flag with the diagonal stripe as the 
official flag.
Joseph McMillan, 11 May 2002
This flag, green with a white Canadian pale and the logo on the center, is 
also shown at the club website and 
was provided by Auriel de Almeida of High Quality 
Football Logos as the official flag of Palmeiras.

There is another club from São Paulo, called "Associação Atlética Portuguesa."
José C. Alegría Díaz, 14 May 2002
This club is from São Paulo state, but is actually based in Santos rather 
than São Paulo city.  It is known as Portuguesa Santista to distinguish it 
from the other Portuguesa.  Portuguesa plays in the national second 
division, while Portuguesa Santista is only in the state competition.

Santos is a city in São Paulo state.BR>Auriel de Almeida, 13 March 2002
This flag of São Caetano (which I believe just won this year's championship) is blue with the club badge outlined in white. Possibly unofficial; the source is a photo of the crowd at a game, at an unofficial web site.
Joseph McMillan, 11 May 2002According to one 
unofficial website, the gold stars on the São Paulo FC flag have nothing to 
do with football. They commemorate the world records set by Adhemar Ferreira da 
Silva in the triple jump in the 1952 Olympics and the 1955 Pan American games. 
The red stars are for the 1992 and 1993 world club football championships won by 
São Paulo.

Many Brazilian football clubs are named some variant of "clube de regatas," or regatta club. This is because the clubs began as rowing clubs and only later took up football. That is also why the flags of Flamengo and Corinthians have crossed oars as part of their badges.
