Shirts, flags and banners.

I'm part of the way through reworking the old Blitzz Supporters' Club banner.

I want to make the letters that say "Loyalists" bigger than the letters that said "Blitzz Supporters".

When I made up the Blitzz banner, I cheated by making the letters with a pattern that I made by printing each letter on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.

Now, I'd like to make the letters at least 17 inches high.

Does anyone know of a place that sells stencils or patterns for letters that large? Or should I just go to Kinko's & print it out on their 11 x 17 printer?

No claims of creativity, but here's an attempt:

Forza Rossazzuri
The King's Own
Loyal Royals
Uncle Dave's Loyal Knaves
All Hail RSL (say it like a Georgia Boy and it rhymes)
Long Live the King
Real Men/Real Women (play soccer . . .)
Rocky Mountain Royals
Knight Me

Pride of ownership nonexistent, with good reason!

I like those ideas Rover, we could even go with "Rossoblu" instead of "Rossazzuri"

"Cuore Rossoblu"
"Amore Rossoblu"
"Regno Rossoblu"

I like those better too. I've never seen them used that way before. Good call.

"Azzuro" is usually a lighter color of blue (not always) like the Italians Nats wear, but our dark blue color is "blu." I believe Bologna is sometimes called "Rossoblu," they have similar colors to RSL.

Here's an example:

And it sounds cooler too . . .

Eventually, not for the home opener but maybe halfway through the season, we are going to have to learn how to make one of these.

We should ask the front office about this. They have all the suppliers, so they probably can estimate costs/time/etc. It would be great to have it unrolled after every goal and at the beginning of every game, or something like that, as we all sing our fight song. Errr... fight song? Maybe just stick to the flag itself with a few Ole Oles snuck in.

I'm sure those thangs cost quite a bit. I think FOs usually buy them for their supporters (the Crew shirt, that Earthquakes flag, etc (That's why the crapids don't have anything like that: no supporters)) So maybe our FO would be willing to help us out.

...considering there is still some money left after breaking ground on Dave Checketts Stadium!

What about an "Anti-Bramble" banner?

Maybe the body of the Devil with Bramble's head.
