Just for the record, I have seen the flag of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute flying, and it really does have those strong black lines.

Some years after the Institute seal was created, Palmer Ricketts designed a flag described as: "a rectangle divided by a diagonal into two triangles, one cherry and one white, with the letters R. P. I. crossing the diagonal, the parts
of the letters on the white background being cherry and the parts on the cherry background being white."
Ron Lahav, 1 February 2009
The description doesn't say which way the diagonal goes. This reconstruction places the cherry arbitrarily at hoist.

In later years, the official flag was white with a red Institute seal and red
fringe.
