kowenicki Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Be good if somebody could let us know a running total. I will make a contribution and I'd like to know I'm not the only one. Also what design is being considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 10m x 12m is a decent size and I'm hoping for some originality in the design but lets donate enough to make it even bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAGMAN Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi everyone, its not actually a flag for the Athleticos its a flag for everyone, just we've organised it with the Trust in making it happen. We have 2 designs that at the moment we are doing a vote on, on facebook. Please let us know what you think on here or on facebook and we'll count them up. The target is to reach 610 for a 12mx10m flag however if we receive more donations than that before the cut off date we will get the biggest flag we can for the donations we receive. We are using Paypal as its the safest donations site we have found but for anyone who doesnt trust it we are working to do a cash in hand situation, however we want to organise it as safe as possible as we dont want peoples money in the wrong hands. Thanks for any donations yous have already sent, we have received close to £100 already in a few hours. Sorry i dont know how to upload photos ont this page so if anyone knows could you let me know. If not visit the Athleticos fb page to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Keep the faith is a bit old hat now... isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I like the font, I like the image, I do think a better slogan could be thought of though. Suggestions perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Think you could do with a better message maybe but it's a good idea to have something like that. From the two I'd go for Flying High Up In The Sky because the other is a bit defeatist as a motto in my opinion, and is it even the club slogan anymore anyway? Also I wouldn't make it too big because, I'm not trying to be funny here, there might not actually be enough people in that section to hold it aloft over your heads. I'd bear that in mind.

Monty Burns Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It's to cover seats, not hold aloft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Keep the faith is too negative and defeatist. I'd prefer just a couple of words. Perhaps PROUD at the top, FEARLESS at the bottom. Edited May 22, 2015 by kowenicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It's to cover seats, not hold aloft. From the OS: "Plans are being finalised for a 12m x 10m flag to be held aloft before home games" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 From the OS: "Plans are being finalised for a 12m x 10m flag to be held aloft before home games" My maths may be slightly off, but a flag as big as 10x12m might cover the space of 250-300 seats, and that sounds like a very optimistic estimation of how many fans will be in that part of the RRE.

grahamb Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 sounds like a good size smaller would be naff bigger would be pushing it either the flying high or something better anyway I donated already - brilliant idea how about athletico flags down near touchline like arsenal / Chelsea when we score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarondo Westy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think we need a new motto I've though of a beauty #oneteamonedream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is this flag going to be held aloft by one person, akin to how Arsenal have someone at the front of the stand wave a flag around when they score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I have a relative who works for design a company in Manchester that makes football flags happy to put you in touch they have done many prestigious flags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be hard for one person to hold a 10m flag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It'll be hard for one person to hold a 10m flag... That's what I thought, a 120m2 flag would weigh quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
