Sports teams have several uses for banners, from team identification to promoting a championship win. These banners can be used in various different ways and can be custom made to a team's specifications.
Here is an example of how a little league team can design and use a banner to promote their team.
This little league team is located in a large city with a very active league. Several games are played throughout the season, and many of them in various fields all over the city. In order to make sure that parents can easily identify which side of the field they will need to on, and for the fans to identify the team, they have decided to create a banner.
This will be a large banner, and will be displayed using portable poles. These poles will have a weighted base to make sure that the banner does not tip and they will have brackets for attaching the banner. A rope will be strung through the grommets of the banner and then tied to the brackets. This arrangement allows for an easy set up and removal and will allow the banner to be stored when it is not in use.
Now that the team knows what kind of banner they will be using and how they plan to use it, they are ready to move onto the design phase. This particular team has not won any championships, and they prefer to make their banner general in nature so that they can get several years of service out of it.
This means that the team's name will be the only text that is used on the banner. Since this means that there will be more space on the banner, they will be able to make the text quite large, and still leave room for some graphics.
The graphics that the team plans to use will be baseball related. Several images of baseballs, mitts, and bats will be used in various positions throughout the banner. These graphics will be tilted slightly, and randomly placed.
The color scheme for the banner will match the team's away colors, which are white with blue lettering. This will make the identification process easier for the fans and for the children themselves.
Now that all of the design elements have been decided on, they can be placed using a graphic design program on a banner template. This will give the designer an idea of how the finished product will look and will give them a chance to make any necessary modifications. By making sure that they are completely satisfied with the design before turning it in, they can be assured that they will be happy with their finished banner.
If the team has extra resources, they can also design an identical banner using the team's home colors, which are the reverse of the away colors. This will give the team more options with their banners and make it easier for the fans to keep track of the team.
