The anticipation of football season is such a fun time of year. So much blood, sweat, and tears go into training all summer and everyone is excited to see how the team will do. Along with that buzz, is getting the team and fans fired up. Spirit flag kits, or field runner flags, are a perfect way to display school spirit. Spirit flags are perfect for youth sports, high school teams, colleges and universities, as well as professional sporting teams. We have made flags for all of the above!
Fire up the Crowd
The pride the team shares as the captain runs onto the field with their team logo is the perfect start to the game. Cheer teams or school mascots can fire up the crowd during the game, during time outs, or celebrate each score.
Spirit flags go hand in hand with football. But, we have made spirit flags for college basketball teams and professional football, hockey, and soccer teams.
Design Your Spirit Flag
Our in-house graphic artists can help with design. Let us know your mascot, the name of your team, and colors and we will take it from there. Another fun idea is to spell your team name, initials, or mascot with a group of flags, one letter per flag.
We specialize in making custom flags, and we will assist in determining the perfect size for your field runner flag or flags. Field runner flags start as small as 3 feet x 5 feet and go up as large as 6 feet x 10 feet. If you are thinking of a larger than 6’x10’, talk to us so you can understand the weight of a large flag and how fast you need to run to make it fly.
How Does the Spirit Flag Attach to the Pole?
Once the design and size are finalized, the way the flag attaches to the pole needs to be decided. We offer spirit flags with a pole sleeve or header and grommets. If you go with our kit, the flag will come with a pole sleeve. However, if you don’t need a pole from us, consider getting header & grommets, as it can be more versatile. Our flags are made of 200 denier nylon and can be printed or appliqued. The most popular, and affordable option, is digital print. The flag is printed and the ink saturates to the back side resulting in a mirror image.
We do offer double-sided custom flags. This requires two prints of the flag and is sewn back to back with a liner. The words read correctly on the front and back, but be warned, the flag is heavy and hard to fly. For very simple designs, single letters, for instance, applique (hand-sewn) could be a good alternative. Applique takes longer to produce than digital print, but if time is on your side, it is a possibility.
Our printed kits come complete with an appropriate flagpole for the flag size and can be assembled easily and disassembled for easy transport.
