That depends on how much money it will cost me in the end. But right now, for some absurd reason, I'm getting a LOT of nasty blowback (via PM) about the star, its location, (never said it would be permanent) the number of stripes and the design not being "Metro enough". Whatever the hell that means. Financially speaking, I was thinking to make it the same size of a standard flag that's flown outside the stadium. But ultimately, I would like to see it hung either in midfield, or over the South Ward.
 
This is a flag the will represent the FANBASE, not necessarily the club, since it is WE are the only ones that are keeping the name, the memory and history of the original club alive. It is NOT meant as a protest toward the brand (Red Bull GMBH), nor as an insult toward the front office. I want to keep design profound, but simple. Something to rally behind both as a player and supporter alike.
 
I guess this where mostly the blowback I'm getting is all about.

 

Call em out my man.

I don't mind the criticism amid the comments. After all, I did ask all of you for your opinion. But don't EVER call me a sellout for the brand. That's just fucking silly.

- change the black box to a triangle. We live in the tri-state area so the triangle could symbolize that. A template could be the PR , Cuban  or Ohio's flag.

 

I second this idea. Three points could also symbolize the three SGs.

Seriously considered. But a question. What about the season ticket holders such as myself? Shouldn't THEY receive some sort of symbolic recognition as well? Don't want to make it TOO supporters group specific...

If you go to Alibaba.com, you can find places in China that do flags for supporters (Liverpool, etc) and will mail it to you here in the states. You just have to send them a hi-res version of the design. An 6x10 flag would be under $ 300, in all likelihood. That site will allow you to post an RFP essentially, and then the suppliers will respond with bids and links to samples.

6x10 METERS for $300? That's insane especially coming from china, but what do I know. I would make it myself..

 

Like it and good luck getting it done.

You're the star!  :D

 

But seriously, idk you can't really add an explicit STH thing without it coming off corny I don't think.

Some would debate 95 or 96, but it's a cool flag.

"Good work, Captain Duck."

Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

Please see the OP

 

Edit - Made some changes. Made the black triangle longer. Was getting the "Look too much like the Puerto Rico flag" comments. Straightened out the "As long as we're breathing" phrase. 

 

Oh, one more thing. Is it... "As long as we're breathing" or "As long as we are breathing"? Just want to make that clear.

 

Thanks!
