Hibs 12th Man Flag Recommendation (under a fiver)

[Hibs12thMan]

Hi Hibees

The Nigerian flag for waving about!

The recommended size is 5'x3' (152x91cm) which fits quite nicely on the permitted 1 metre length of cane. If you get a flag with eyelets make sure the cane is quite skinny because the eyelets aren’t very big.

A quick Google search has brought up these 3 place where they can be bought (not sure about the cost of P&P), I’m sure there will be others.

Let’s make the 3 stands a sea of green and white!

Of course if you have another type of green and white flag bring that along – variety is the spice of life!

Makes you wonder why the official merchandise does not do more flags..... I know there are loads when it comes to Cup Finals, but it would be great to see for example, all Hibs Kids waving them at ER?..... Certainly adds to atmosphere

Do they need to be on canes? Surely nowadays something softer could be used?

[Mikey]

We spoke to Fife about this. Canes of 1m long are ok.

There should be no problem with these at ER.

The Libyan flag is also good - plain green. You could have a green and white flag and a green flag for under a tenner

Still - The Green and White one could be the new flag for the New Stand :thumbsup:

Update - ordered half a dozen for our group.

Looks too big for a cane tho?? The cane would be same length as the flag but then - no handle?.

Will have to be hand held I reckon - its as big as a tablecloth

[Stew the Hibee]

A wee possible idea with big flags is they can be sown together into a surfer flag :thumbsup:

The suggested flags are 3’x5’, with 1 metre being 39andabit” this gives a decent hand hold. The size suggested for just that reason. :greengrin

Do be fair I don’t think that would work. I’m no seamstress but the crappy material that’s used in making these flags would mean IMO they wouldn’t sew together very well and once it got to a certain size, still too wee, the stain of folk pulling and tugging would rip it apart.


I think the Hibs 12th Mans idea of loads of the 3’x5’ waving, European ultra style, would have a huge impact.

Giving Hibs Kids flags to wave a no brainer. :greengrin I'd donate a fiver towards that :wink:

Did anything happen regarding the club putting lockers somewhere so we could store flags in them?:confused:

I'd disagree Jack. My Flag (See attached) has been going for about 6 years and has been unveiled on several occasions around the stands, away and cup games and has not had one bit of bother at all.

I’ve seen your flag and from what I recall it is made up of flags smaller than 3’x5’. It might be better material than I have and also its kept pretty static.

I know that if there were 9 of the Nigerian flags I have stitched together they wouldn’t reach Tamson's without falling apart and besides a marathon sewing session a proper surfing size flag, made up god knows how many it would take, wouldn’t make it out the bag it was kept in without becoming rags.

Just my opinion likes but I’d hate for Stew, or anyone else to spend real money and waste their own real time and muck up their mothers sewing machine. :agree:

You call three inches a decent hand hold? :faf:

I look forward to seeing you wave a 5foot flag with a hand hold half the length of a pencil :greengrin

Hopefully the goods will arrive before the weekend and we can experiment fae there

They are all 3' by 5' flags. the flag itself is obviously 9'x15' now. It initially started out as the bottom right flags, then the two on top of them a few weeks later, and last season i added the three on the left hand side. Very strudy and well sewn together by my Nana :greengrin

I'd happily let someone see it. before wasting time/money sewing them together.

FTR i'll be bringing it on Sunday and hopefully someone in the West can get some pics of it :thumbsup:
