New Banner Ideas
« on: March 11, 2005, 05:03:17 pm »
Following on from the successful Cardiff Banners thread which allowed people to develop ideas for appropriate Cup Final banners, here's a thread for some general ideas.

Please make yourself aware of the Boss Wednesday Agreement before submitting ideas. There is a thread in progress about this subject as I write...  ;)

Here's an idea I have for a banner:



A Liverbird on the flag for the Basque region.

Why? 2 reasons:

1) In honour of Xabi Alonso
2) To represent the City of Liverpool being different from the rest of England. The Basques don't want to be part of Spain, and similarly, there is a feeling amongst Liverpudlians that we are "Scouse not English".

Not sure about a yellow Liverbird, but if it was Red it wouldn't really be visible, unless it was shrunk in which case it would be too small. I'm sure Rafa, Luis and Nando wouldn't take offence to it, Xabi doesn't seem to have a problem with the Spanish flags.

Comments, ideas, suggestions and your own banner ideas.

If it's to honor Alonso, then surley it should have his name or number on?

I'd get rid of the Liverbird too, scale it down and lash it on one of the corners.

Something a bit more like



Only with a better styled number 14, and a bigger Liverbird.

IMO that looks better than the original, I think the Liverbirds about the right size, but agree with your comments about the number 14. Most people would think 'what the fuck?' but hopefully Xabi would appreciate it

this one is best imo , subtle for non-alonso fans to figure it out but xabi would def understand it

cracking idea garstonite, although i think the shankly banner doesn't need any writing on it whatsoever...that picture says everything about the man, the club he built, and the fans. no words necessary.

as for igorscherrynose....... :-X

I'd love to make a new banner for the next Euro away.

But Im crap at ideas!  Any good ideas out there?  Want to keep it simple...maybe should be just a big plain red banner wi nothing on at all!  Like my head really!

Seriously, any thoughts? 

What about something as a rallying flag for us on here?

Something like (for example)..

'RAWK on tour'?

Or simply 'RED AND WHITE KOP'

Can imagine being hung outside the chosen alehouse of the day to act as a meet-up signal.

Any opinions please.

Banners with 18 or 4 on them should be banned. When we win a 19th or a 5th then fine, but we won the last of these trophies 15 years ago!

It's like we've sunk so low that we're desperate to remind people that we used to be good.

Was thinking of an Alonso flag for next season meself....was gonna make it and give it to a mate to take for us....and i thought along the same lines with the Basque flag for the exact same reasons [links between Basque country and Liverpool]

"XABI" in black on the white cross i thought, and a liverbird in one corner, and a flame in the other.

But im liking the Xabi face idea.....but its kinda been done ;)

Great minds eh?  ;)

To be honest, I probably won't get round to making a banner for ages, and I don't have any banner making experience, so I wouldn't be arsed if anyone made one similar. It was just an idea I wanted to throw about.

hello all... it will be an honour for me to have flags/banners that i suggested flying around anfield and europe. I would like to fly my own liverpool flag at anfield but I cant do that at the moment since i live thousand miles away here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Well maybe one day I'll achieve my dream of watching liverpool at Anfield.
