Flags and Banners

nice and nasty

That's before the masking tape is removed mate... once that is peeled off the chequers will be all nice and even.

I reccommend garden stakes for poles. They are green plastic/fibreglass. The 1.8 metre ones are only 12 bucks at Placemakers (or Mitre 10) and they are lightweight and strong. The smaller ones are about $5.99 I think.

Nice, I got a quote from the flag makers in thorndon a few years ago for a yellow, black and white union flag. It was going to cost over $400

There is a company in the UK that specialises in flags for football fans iirc

Here it is http://footballflags.co.uk

Yes, Ashby has ordered some yellow and black chequered flags from them. He's delivering my one today.

This evening Ashby delivered the chequered flag that I ordered in his bulk purchase from the UK. Superb value.

So, the masking tape is off the Chequered flag I am making. I's approx 1.1 metre x 1.1 metre.

Just have to paint the other side next week now.

pic?

Got any left Ashby? Could be keen

He's got 4 left Patrick.

They are 1.5 metres x 0.9 metres. This one is shown on one of the 1.8 metre garden stakes from Placemakers (the green pole along the top that goes over the top of the bookcase).

The colour of the yellow is kinda gold... similar to the reebok stripeys. Compare to my version which is on the table next to it and the current Phoenix official A League flags to the left.

Bugger. Just notice I have attached the flag to the pole upside down. With Chequered flags the darker colour traditionally goes in the top left (hoist/pole side) corner. That'll be 2 new cable ties then...

i see undies on the floor !!

Did anyone see the "Wind, Rain and the Phoenix" banner that the Phoenix fans had at the Sydney game last night. Looked very cool. Had a picture of Daniel on it as well I think.

It looked like it was an old official advertising banner that that club used, looked wonderful though!

Hi guys. It is my banner and I had it made last year. Cost me $1k aud and I had it up on the wall of my pub. so I don't think I will be buying one like that again. Am keenly following this thread to see what u r up to and think I will be heading off to bunnings next sat to make some like those above.

As I live in Sydney, we want one that has something to represent our awesome traveling supporters...

Any ideas ?

Awesome to hear that you had it made yourself! It looked wonderful.

in case you did not see it earlier in the thread...

Yeah got it. Thx. Just figuring out what I want on it

Nope, but they are good, lightweight flag poles. Finding a good flag pole was one of the major things that held me back from making flags last year, so I am conscious it might be useful if others know they are available.

Yep, I've got 4 left. $15, if you want one flick me a PM!

Yellow, black and white Union Jack is sewn, and the process of masking it up begins this evening.

got my pole been sewen onto my flag as i type woo hoo .gonna look good . The pole i got was too fat but it's still gonna look good

I'm going to make my sign say either:

GCU

Thoughts?

One of the conditions of the stadium allowing banners and flags into the stadium for Phoenix games on a trial basis (see the first post in this thread) was that they were not offensive.

So GGF CLIVE might not be a goer then?

Good chance security won't figure out GGF so possibly.
