State Banner

[Wedgie]

The person who organises the North banners rang me today asking if I could put our feelers for people who may want to help make the State Banner, looks like someone's contacted North to help do it since we have larger poles than most as well as the experience behind the best banners in the state.
Im personally not that interested but if people could give an idea here if they'd be willing to help out for a few hours on either Thursday or Friday night at Prospect then we'll see if its worth organising, small incentives such as tickets to the game may be handed out.

Hey Wedgie,

I'm happy to lend a hand with the banner...

Will be a good way to meet fellow posters and will bring back some good old memories when I used to help with the Doggies banners for some of our earlier Grand Finals as a 15, 16 year old.

Let me know the specific dates and times and I'm sure I can lend a hand. I was always going to go to the game and would be happy to possibly get a free ticket and help hold it up on the day of the game.

Cheers Mate,

Big Phil...

I have partaken in a few Banner makings in my time - I may be able to assist.

ps - where do all the other posts go? One minute they're here, next minute they're not.

What about

"This is NOT an exhibition game. The Red Guernsey will prevail".

Yeah, actually the first bit by itself is excellent.

"THIS IS NOT AN EXHIBITION GAME"

Let's show the VFL that we're the best outside the AWAFL

on the back have the Logos of the 9 clubs plus the SANFL Logo

AGREED 100%

[Aerie]

How about:

"If we kick a vic we'd have no players left"

and on the back;

"Just because we're mostly Victorian,
Doesn't mean we're not South Australian"

heard today the banner is going to be made all of next week at Westies, and the port banner poles are being used.

Crikey, who contacted the North club asking them to organise it then?
Perhaps find out Sam, as the SANFL might have contacted North direct, I can advise the people asked at North to organise it that their time isn't required, they'll be very happy.

At the top the SANFL logo...

"Pride and passion
NEVER
go out of fashion"

On the back

"For bragging rights,
not TV rights"

[Dogsbody]

My blueprint from a couple of months ago...

Any hands up to cut all those letters out?

Any hands up to cut all those letters out?

Mrs Wedgie's and my daughter have done it a few times, the trick is to either have a person who's good at designing stuff like that to have them pre drawn or Ive heard other clubs have purchased letters from a business.
But I agree with what I think you're getting at, it looks great but less letters is the way to go, sometimes more effective too. Perhaps with a yellow and blue vee either side of the words to fill some space.

[Dogsbody]

The one against WA had about the same amount of letters as side two plus two more sentences on the back. Maybe if they just use side two and put a smaller slogan on the back.

[spell_check]

If you want less letters and just as much imapct, I'd opt for the following suggestion:

"This is NOT an exhibition match.
The red guernsey will prevail" (Or "The mighty SA will prevail")

and on the other side

"Pride and Passion
NEVER
Go out of fashion"

Credit to Squawk and Booney.

Sarge from Westies told me, wanted my ute to transport the poles, other than that im not to sure on any more details.

Spoke to the lady who took the phone call during the week, the SANFL are organising the banner making at Prospect and will free tickets will most likely be included for the match for those involved, will be happening on either the Thursday or Friday before the game. All materials, etc will be provided.
Good luck to all those involved.
