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.

Q:
Do your spirit flags come with pole pockets? Are they an additional cost?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes! All of our spirit flags come with pole pockets. The pole pocket is included at no additional cost. The pole pocket runs vertically down the left side of each spirit flag. Our pole pockets are 2” and are compatible with poles up to 1” in diameter.

Q:
Can I get grommets on my spirit flag?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

We don’t offer grommets for our spirit flags. However, a vertical pole pocket is included with each spirit flag. We’ve found that pole pockets are the best and easiest way to use a spirit flag.

Q:
Can I custom cut my spirit flag?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Our spirit flags are cut in a square or rectangular shape. We don’t currently offer the ability to cut your spirit flag in any other shape.

Q:
Will a pole be included with my spirit flag?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

We offer a 135" pole that is 1” diameter as an optional purchase with your spirit flag. We’ve found that many of our customers like to order replacement flags or already have compatible poles so we offer the pole as an optional add-on to spirit flags. If a pole is selected, you’ll get four 36” pole sections that connect via a push button and can be assembled at varying heights (135", 102", and 69") in seconds. A zippered carrying bag for the pole is also included in the purchase of a pole. To purchase a pole simply select one 135" pole from the accessories option dropdown in our design tool when designing your spirit flag.

Q:
How heavy are spirit flags? How heavy are poles?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

The spirit flags weigh about .075 lbs. per square foot or .45 pounds for a 3’ x 2’ flag. Each pole section weighs approximately .6 pounds.

Q:
Can I print a sports team logo on my spirit flag?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
As per our terms and conditions, you may print anything that you have rights to. You are responsible to make sure you have the proper permissions and/or licenses to the design you have printed on your spirit flag. For any additional questions regarding printing and copyright please see our terms and conditions.
Q:
Can I print my spirit flag with a multicolor design?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes! We allow multicolor designs for our spirit flags. We don’t charge extra for printing in full color. Feel free to design your flag in the colors you want without worrying about any hidden charges.

Q:
Are spirit flags fire resistant?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Spirit flags are heat resistant and can be used during warm conditions on a hot summer day but are not resistant to fire. Spirit flags should be kept away from fire or open flames.
Q:
Does the pole have a handle? How should I hold it?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

The optional flag pole set don’t come with any handles. Flag poles should be held by gripping the pole itself. Depending on the size of flag, the pole height, and the person(s) running the flag, multiple people may be needed to hold the flag while running or waving it during use.

Q:
How do I assemble or use my spirit flag?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

To assemble your spirit flag begin by unfolding the flag and laying it out flat. Avoid laying the flag on a sharp or abrasive surface that could damage the flag material. If your flag has wrinkles you may remove them with a household fabric steamer. Do not iron the flag as this will damage the flag material. After assembling the pole sections with the push buttons, gently insert your flag pole into the pole pocket on the left side of the flag. Avoid pushing the flag pole into the pocket quickly to prevent the pole from snagging on the fabric and causing damage. Within a minute or two you’ll be ready to have your team’s logo and colors run across your field!
