What Are Spirit Flags?

What Are Spirit Flags?

Spirit flags are large polyester flags that are typically used during high school or college sporting events - most commonly football games. These flags feature a vertical pole pocket and pole, allowing cheer team members, mascots or others to run the field with the custom spirit flag during timeouts, halftime or pre-game activities.

These flags are also a great way to show school spirit and an excellent addition for any cheerleading squad, mascot or pep rally. Our spirit flags are printed via dye sublimation which means they’ll be durable and reusable for years to come. The design is 100% customizable so you can get the exact look you need for your team or school. Spirit flags can come in a variety of sizes with standard sizes including: 3’x5’, 4’x6’, and 5’x8’. The maximum size we offer is 8' 10" x 8' 10" (106" x 106").

Spirit flags are also commonly called field runner flags, cheer flags or sometimes even referred to as battle flags.


Why Spirit Flags?

Easy Assembly and Use: Spirit flags come with a sewn pole pocket making inserting a pole and using your flag as easy as can be. A pole that connects via a push button is available as an optional add-on.

Vibrant Printing: Our high-resolution dye-sublimation printing process enables you to get a beautiful design printed on your spirit flag that can be easily seen from a distance.

Long Lasting: Because we use durable 4 oz. polyester and a sewn pole pocket you can be confident in using your spirit flags at football games in any weather for years to come.


Common Spirit Flag Sizes

From a 3’x5’ flag up to a 8.5’x8.5’ (actual max size is 106" x 106") we can do any custom size school spirit flag that you need! Not sure what size you need? Contact us and we’ll be happy to get you the size perfect for your school.


Assembly

Begin by laying your spirit flag out flat. Avoid contact with any sharp or abrasive objects and surfaces that may damage the flag.

Next, assemble your pole (if needed) and gently slide the pole into the pole pocket on the side of the flag.

Your flag is now ready to be displayed or run with across the field.


Care

Before storing your flag make sure that it is clean. If the flag is dirty you may spot clean with a fabric safe detergent and a non-abrasive cloth. If your flag needs a deeper clean you may machine wash the flag on a delicate cycle in cold water. Do not bleach your flag as this will cause permanent damage. To dry your flag let it air dry. Drying machines and irons will damage your flag. To store your flag simply fold it up and store in the bag or a container. Do not place any objects on top of your flag during storage. If you include a pole and a bag with your purchase, both the disassembled pole sections and flag (contingent on size) can be stored in the bag.
