Wikipedia shows a b&w drawing of what it purports is the city flag of Syracuse NY at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracuse%2C_New_York. This has a large logo with the Mayor's name underneath. The logo is rectangular on its lower portion, and semi-circular on the upper portion. It has been reproduced on many other websites. But I am suspicious about this claim. In addition to the unlikelihood of the city putting its mayor's name on the flag, and having to change it with every change in administration, I am doubtful of this flag for another reason.
A photo at
http://www.syracuse.ny.us/images/content/mayor.jpg shows the Mayor of Syracuse in front of a white flag with a blue & gold circular emblem which looks as if it is the city seal. I think that this is much more likely to be the official flag of the city.

Although no one has created an image, the city does have a flag as partly shown here in the Mayor's biography on the city website: www.syracuse.ny.us. The flag is white with a city seal in black and gold. While not listed in the US City flag survey, Syracuse does have a flag. Hopefully someone can locate more information. My recent emails to the mayors office on the issue have been unanswered.
