Unusual request: My mate is getting married on the 15th March and has requested that his best man (me) acquire a Hibs flag around 8ft/2.5m long - of in his words, king sized duvet sized - for the wedding. I've got no idea whatsoever what he is planning, but is there anyone out there with one they'd be happy to lend me? Could pick up the day before and drop off the morning after...probably late morning after. :drunk::zzzzz!: Would be very grateful. Alternatively, any idea where I could buy one?
Thanks

Would recommend contacting the hibee who runs this site to get one custom made inexpensively

I was thinking of getting one of these, as it reflects my Clan Heritage and is perfect for taking to Hibs games.

It's a Nordic cross in the Hibs colours. Perfect for a Scandinavian Hibs supporters group!

Shetland does use a Nordic cross, but they use the blue and white of the Saltire - to reflect the notion that they're a Nordic portion of Scotland. Orkney uses a red and yellow nordic cross too, IIRC.

It does, pretty sure we have/had(?) an Orkney and Shetlands supporters group.
