The city has adopted a new flag: https://www.baldwincity.gov/294/Flag:
On August 18th, 2020, Baldwin City Council approved an official city flag.The sunflower references Kansas' state flower, the Santa Fe trail markers, and gardens all over Baldwin City awash with colorful flowers, while the color yellow speaks of turning toward joy and opportunity. It is the color of sunflowers, and also of many autumn maple leaves. The maple leaf in the center of course references the Festival and also the maple leaf trees all over town, brilliant in the fall. Perhaps the creative energy and success spoken of in the color orange is why it's also the official color of Baker University. The curving line references the Santa Fe trail, tracing a path through the indigo that is a meeting of purple and deep blue to represent both the Baldwin Schools' purple and Baker University's navy. Indigo represents integrity in tradition.

This town is now having a flag contest (https://www.baldwincity.gov/294/Flag),
which is why I searched for the present flag. This Facebook post says that this
flag was adopted in November 2014.

Whether the town had an earlier flag, I don't know (yet).
