The University of Northampton has published a Brand Manual at http://www.northampton.ac.uk/brandmanual/docs/university-brand-manual.pdf. See especially p. 5 where the brand is explained: “Incorporation of the ‘N’ for Northampton and the ‘U’ for university / Movement in central design represents the River Nene, which flows through both the town and County, and has featured throughout the institution’s history to illustrate a sense of unification and connection with our communities”. (As you can see, the red lines are explanatory only.) Said “movements” traverse a heart-shaped figure, light blue on the left side and dark blue on the right. To the right of the logo appears the name “THE UNIVERSITY OF / NORTHAMPTON”
(first line dark blue, place name bigger and light blue). Pantone colours are given on p. 10: Dark blue 294 and Light blue 3135.

A flag is not mentioned, this is where the photo (above) comes in - the first line of words actually appears to be grey.

From the University’s History page:
First university existed 1260-65. Northampton Technical College founded 1932, School of Art 1937; their successors plus College of Education formed Nene College in 1975. Additional colleges incorporated 1993-1997 and named University College Northampton in 1999. University, 2005: two campuses, 10 000 students.

On this page we see a heraldic pennant adorning a lectern, the same, as a Flickr photo by “acol37”, uploaded 12 Jul 2006. It shows a white field with green edge, the University arms in full colour placed near the top (it is a vertically hung pennant). The armorial detail can be seen here. For the arms, see the full achievement at http://www.tietac.org/images/northamp.jpg. Admittedly these are the University College arms (precursor), but they appear on the pennant which was in evidence during a University of Northampton event.
