![[Clare Hall College]](../images/g/gb_cu-ch.gif)

Although there is no attested use of this flag yet, based on the notion that the
existence of a coat of arms implicitly determines a flag design, and that since
some colleges use such a flag, its use by others is not unexpected, I have drawn
a putative banner of arms for Clare Hall College.
At
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Clarehall_shield.png, an image of the
arms, which I could blazon as chevronny Or and Gules and on a chief sable five
teardrops Argent.
These arms accent the history of the college, founded
as an offshoot of Clare College in 1966 and becoming an independent college in
1984 (from official site at
http://www.clarehall.cam.ac.uk/index.php?id=101); Clare College arms share
colors and motifs, being party Or three chevrons Gules and Or a cross Gules and
bordure Sable goutty Argent.
At
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Hall%2C_Cambridge, the colors of Clare
Hall College are given as black, golden yellow, and red, taken from the arms.

An brief internet search on the official web site of the organisation
concerned turns up the following:
this image which might well be a banner of arms, but
also this:
this image (both images from
http://www.clarehall.cam.ac.uk) which shows a rowing crew with a flag with a
yellow field bearing the Clare Hall arms in the centre. This flag is also shown
being hand held by the cox in an eight on the river - presumably some kind of
victory celebration and although not explicitly stated, it is clearly being used
as some kind of rowing flag, but of course, could also be used for other
purposes as well.
