Title: "This is all we take away" flag
Post by: andrewflynn on January 06, 2011, 04:21:02 PM
The title of the thread is pretty self explanatory, we as fans already have a fantastic collection of flags evident at away games in particular. Me and a friend have come up with the idea of a flag bearing 'This is all we take away.' It would be blank red with white writing to step out of the St. George's cross and three horizontal stripe norm. Just wondered what people's thoughts on this idea are before we rush into buying anything?

Sounds like a decent idea, quite funny, although I'm finding it difficult to visualise the design.

There's not much design to it, it's literally a blank red canvas 15ft by 9ft and then the wording will be in white. We tried different designs prior to a blank one but found that it would be hard to make the wording look effective fitting it within stripes, plus the message the flag is making would be a lot clearer that way.

Is it like your current "give me joy" or like my "living the dream"?

Love the phrases btw

It will be like neither, there is no background design to the flag just a blank block red colour...

The only problem with this flag is you will be asked to take it down everywhere you go as it has an offencive word on it

where do you get them made?

The flag will be ordered from barmyflags, we have had one made by them before (the one in my signature picture), and it turned out fantastic so this should be just as good. Thanks to everyone for the positive and reassuring feedback it will be ordered in the next few weeks just in time for our great escape.

Great idea, needs to inspire the great escape otherwise its a bit silly in conf north when we probably will take more away than any other team

Its one that works regardless of the fans - if we have hardly any then its simple, and if we have loads its slightly ironic


Bit like living the dream - works for irony if we're getting beat, or true if we're battering someone

I think our range of flags is brilliant, my favourite being the big Danish style one, followed by the Ghana one
