iamjonesyyoafc Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi all, me and a few friends are looking to design a flag to take to home and away games next season and are spoilt for choice with the ideas we've come up with. Anyway NewBlue suggested I do a poll to see what other fans think and would like to see at Oldham games. So here are your choices; A. B. C. D. E. F. Appreciate the help!

Tommy_Fent Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I think it's only fair to warn you that if you want someone to make the flag for you, that having a team crest on it will add a fortune to the cost due to image rights. The Glossop Latics flag I have cost £100 extra with the crest on and that was for an 8 footer But if I had to choose I'd go with C personally, the last three are too similar to the OASIS one Edited April 10, 2013 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Back to the drawing board, I reck. Quite like the blue and tangerine St. George's style though, but the badges are too numerous and the wording not right. Put what you represent on it - eg Athleticos, Rocky Rd Enders, Royton, Oldham, or the boozer you drink in.

Latics and England Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Tom is spot on that the cost of your designs are likely to be prohibitive. You are looking at a ton per badge on top of the base cost of the flag. I would highly recommend Barmy Flags in Greenfield. The quality is absolutely top notch and the service we got from them when the Ernieflag was stolen was superb. They usually do a good deal for Latics fans too. You need to give careful consideration to what size you want. You need something big enough to be seen but if you go too big it restricts where you can take it and can become a pain to carry. There's usually plenty of space at Latics games though. It is more England games when I'm glad it's not too big. Ignoring the cost issue I would say that as simple a design as possible tends to work best. I love your multi-badge designs but would imagine that they would be difficult to make out from the opposite end of the ground or on TV. If you have small letters as in some of your designs there is no way you would be able to read them. Hope you manage to get something sorted. Always good to see plenty of Latics flags.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Try and fit St. Pauli on it if you can. Possibly a hammer and sickle too. It'll look right nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, will consider it, was looking at going with the guy that did Andy Husky's flag (the one that's in the Chaddy End every home game) but will look at Barmy Flags too though and reconsider designs. HOWEVER, I will not be including a St.Pauli flag or Hammer & Sickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I've talked about getting a flag for years: OAFC - BORN TO MOAN OR OAFC - GUTTED Blue at the top and bottom, white stripe through the middle. Badge in the Centre. It's the carrying it to away games that has always put me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 To always remind us of this season, perhaps we could have a white cross on a white background with white badges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamjonesyyoafc Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 TBH im not too kean on any. why is that? could you suggest something you'd prefer? A couple of other designs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon425 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 What about a blue and white Isreali flag, with OA-FC each side of the star of David to show some respect for our owners. No doubt some people would disagree, think it would be better than the hamer/ sickle thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddyender2 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Original 6 were all a bit cluttered for me why is that? could you suggest something you'd prefer? A couple of other designs.. i like the second and fourth design in your new post depending on what crest you wanted to go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
