What Are Breakaway Banners?
Breakaway banners are custom-printed banners comprising two portions joined by Velcro down the middle. The two banner pieces combined make one cohesive image. They are often used at youth, high school, and college football games, where the joined banners are brought to the field and held by poles on either side. When the team enters the field, the players run toward the banner and break through it by the Velcro in the middle, creating a dynamic entrance that fans will surely cheer on as they go onto the field to start the game.
Our breakaway banners are made from durable 13 oz. vinyl, making it the perfect choice for football game entrances — they are 100% customizable, reusable, and durable enough to last multiple seasons while still giving you the custom look you need.
Standard & Custom Sizes Available
We offer our breakaway banners in any custom size so you can get exactly the banner you need. Banners can be ordered in any custom size between 2’H x 6’W & 10’H x 15’W.

Breakaway Banner Features
Pole Pockets
Each breakaway banner comes with two sewn pole pockets, one on either end of the banner. These hemmed pockets are strong but simple ways to set up and hold your banners.
Durable
Breakaway banners are meant to be run through, which means they should be durable enough to withstand repeated entrances of a sports team. Our 13 oz. vinyl is the perfect material for games regardless of the weather conditions.
Reusable
With Velcro patches down the middle of your banner, it's possible to use these weekly for several years. The banners are easily cleaned and stored between games or seasons for use in future seasons.

Assembly
To set up your breakaway banner begin by laying the two banner pieces flat on the ground. Avoid any abrasive surface like concrete or asphalt when doing so. Attach the two banner pieces together with the corresponding velcro strips that run down the middle of each banner piece.
Assemble the poles using the push buttons and connecting the female and male ends of the poles.
Once the Velcro is attached, slide the assembled, compatible poles (optional purchase if poles are needed) into the pole pockets on each end of the banner.
Finally, stand the banner upright. Doing so typically requires multiple people depending on the size of the banner. To prevent the banner from sagging in the top center, pull the very top of each pole towards the outside of the banner to increase tautness.
Once the graphic is pulled tight you’ll be ready for a football team to run through the banner and begin their game!
Care
To clean your banner simply wipe it down with a non-abrasive cloth dampened in a mixture of warm water and dish soap. Let the banner air dry. When storing the banner be sure to roll it up to prevent permanent creases from occurring. Avoid contact with sharp objects or placing anything on top of the banner. Make sure to store it in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight and weather exposure.
Poles
If you don’t already have poles (should be diameter of 1” or less) to use with your breakaway banner you’ll need a set of compatible poles to slide into the sewn pole pockets on either end of the banner. We offer compatible aluminum poles as optional accessories for your banner. We recommend our aluminum poles due to their lightweight yet durable nature. These poles are easily connected together via a push button and locking mechanism. Each pole section is approximately 36” long. We recommend ordering enough poles to have at least 1’ of extra pole length than the height of your banner so it can be held off the ground if desired.

Questions and Answers
To ensure that your breakaway banner's velcro strips maintain their adherence on either side be sure to avoid contact with anything like plants, strings, rope, fabric, and other items that might try to attach to the velcro. If your velcro strips attach to anything other than the opposing velcro be sure to check that no residue is left on the velcro. If anything sticks to the velcro promptly remove it. Keeping the velcro clean will help maintain the ability to attach your banner together.
Our breakaway banners don't come with a carrying case. However, if you choose to add optional poles to your order you can also add an optional carrying case for the poles.
Breakaway banners are designed for adults to be able to "break through" the banner. Running through the banner is something that should be expected in use and shouldn't result in damage provided the banner has been properly cared for and maintained.
When running through a breakaway banner we recommend doing so with safety in mind. Properly instruct those running through the banner to watch out for each other as well as the banner itself as they run through it. Instruct football players to avoid bumping into one another or stepping on the banner as these may both result in people falling and potentially injuring themselves and/or others. The banner is easily separated and excessive force isn't necessary. Further, and as explained above, ensure those holding the banner anticipate the loss of tension when the banner breaks. So long as they are aware of this they can ensure they do not lose their balance when the players break through. Excepting human error, there is very little risk of injury while using these banners.
