Types of Banners/Flags

[Pozza]

2 Sticks




A very basic flag. Material in the middle, 2 sticks either side to hold them up by. Easy to make as not a lot of material needed & can be made to any size. Can look very effective as part of a group display as in the picture above.


Tifo



Basically an oversized hand flag. Usually waved down by the front due to the size of them, depending on design can be easy of hard to make. Easiest way to make them is just using colour.


Hand Flags



Your basic flag really. Material with a stick that you wave. Usually just colours without any any text or pictures on. When loads are together you get a decent effect like in the picture above.


Banners/Hanging Flags



You can have the longer style Banner like above, or basically a big flag that you hang up, like below:



Both failry easy to make depending on what design your after & how detailed you want it to be.


Surfers



The biggest of all flags. Passed around over the heads of the crowd. Look best when pulled tight though unlike the one above but i'm sure you get the idea Would be hard for one to be "homemade" but nothing a decent sewing shop wouldnt be able to handle.

Oh, all of the above are HOMEMADE so it just goes to show that if you put a bit of time & effort into these things you can get good results, without them costing the earth

When i've finishd the Group Banner i'm working on i'll stick up a "Step-by-Step" Guide on how I did it to show how easy it really is.

Get your thinking caps on lads & lasses

You should do a Blue Peter sketch and stick it on youtube ;D

what make these banners so great is the style of lettering and the use of 3 colours. we should make banners with a Blue and Black (black for the socks and in most away kits) background and white writing, this would look stunning. Come on! we have some great players at the moment that are short of inspiration. Lets make it special!!!!!!!

Blue and Black banners with white writing looks great!!!!!!!!!!!
We need 3 colours and yellow is too L***s and Red is too B******d . See the Yorvic pics. Thats how to do it!!
and don't forget the FLARES!!!!!!!! Not bthe shooting type though.
do they sell em at Aspley Marina ?

only thing is with 1s with any sticks/flagpoles chances are you'd either be told they have to be a maximum length of pole,or told they wont allow them because the sticks may be used as weapons
