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

The licensed black supporters' flag is from soccersports.com.br.

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.

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.

According 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.
