Ideas for New Flag

[JW.]

I quite liked it. It succeeded in not being in any fashion politically correct and also attracted attention to itself and by extension the organisation.

[Tribalhooie]

About this famous guisa flag, for those of you who were not in russia for the 4-2 beating, that flag got rave reviews from the 200 or so fans staying in our hotel. All the flags were lined out on the ground in the lobby and ours got the most interest and alot of people got a good laugh from the slogan "never send a boy on a man's job".

thats only a rough sketch on the computer now..:D

ill be honest - that needs a lot of work - and i dont know about the statement - its a bit lame - but maybe would look alright against a better proportioned word size etc.

as you said its rough...

[damoGUFC]

I know where you are coming from alright, I wasnt too sure on it myself thats why I posted ere for more idea's.

[GUISAUltra]

I really like the
"Never Send A Boy On A Mans Job" slogan.
its pretty original and since the old flag has disappeared i think it'd be good to get it on a new one

[GUISAUltra]

francis where's the image you had that you were going to make into a flag, that was pretty cool

threads merged! you can see my flag design here: http://www.salthillknocknacarragaa.ie/design2.png
got a good quote from a crowd in germany, hoping to get it made end of this month, start of feb.

[Conor H]

Why didn't you get the crowd in Westside to do it?
They've been good to GUFC supporters over the last year.

[damoGUFC]

I was in their a couple of days ago and saw a pic of francis's design on the wall.
She showed me a few gufc flags she made awhile back, she did a brillant job on them.:D so any more idea's apart from the guisa slogan???

well, i emailed the westside crowd three times i think and got no reply, so was fairly p1ssed off at that. might drop into them in the next week and se what they say. the german crowd sound the business though and not a bad price either

[Conor H]

She told me the last day you never left any Contact number or name!obviously there's been a break down in Communications!:D

She has your design on the wall in there so i'd give her a ring.

[damoGUFC]

I actually liked the GUISA slogan alright and I wouldnt mind designing a new one with the slogan on it...what ye think?

Go for it, Damo.

[damoGUFC]

Go for it, Damo.

Thanks!!:) I was thinking of putting the crest on it as well??

[GuisaSaigon]

Yeah that Westside place did a good job with the crests on the most recent flags.

[Conor H]

Thanks!!:) I was thinking of putting the crest on it as well??

That will cost you around E500.

[damoGUFC]

€500?? :( would it be cheaper to hand make it??:D I'll work my way around it some how??

[damoGUFC]

did this flag go missing??

[Conor H]

That's the flag we were on about.
It's gone for ever.:(

Ya E500 with slogan,crest,design etc.

[damoGUFC]

Aww loved that one!! sure if its outa my budget we'll come up with a new design?? :D :rolleyes:

[Patrick Dunne]

Its rather pointless keeping a flag for an organisation that no longer exists.
The flag had nothing of intrinsic value on it eg embroidered crest.

It was also extremely difficult to hang up due to its length.

Nevertheless, it gave good service around the grounds of the EL.
We need more flags, with better proportions and with better designs.

she was looking for contact details..... eh she had my email address! she's the one running a business, its not too hard to reply to an email, acctually two emails.

500quid, for a banner wit a crest n slogan.... i got quoted less than that from the german crowd and my flag is going to be massive (thanks to a small group of ppl)

[corbyeire]

francis - you should definetly haggle with the galway crowd and show them how much cheaper the germans are

some business is better than none - and if you get sorted maybe other supporters would then use them

just a thought

[damoGUFC]

Have they a website Francis???

[GalwayFrancis]

Have they a website Francis???

nope, thats one of their problems!

[Paddyfield]

Great idea Damo.

Why not ask a few to give you a few quid to help? I hereby pledge you €20. Anyone else?

[damoGUFC]

Any more ideas?? Like PD said we need more flags and banners. Lets make Terryland Park and the away trips look more colourful, lets show our colours...Maroon and White!

[damoGUFC]

Another idea ere..what ye think??? lets hear yer opinions!:p

[JW.]

You should get a job with Sky Sports Damo ;)

[Paddyfield]

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/9507/gufcflag2ac7.png

Another idea ere..what ye think??? lets hear yer opinions!:p

It's a bit Primary School-ish. How about something bold like...

GALWAY UNITED LOYALISTS

or

TO HELL OR TO CONNACHT

?

[GalwayFrancis]

i cant see why they woulnt like it. ill post it over at the new forum and see what people think of it.

[damoGUFC]

Fair play Francis, you've a nik for this! I made my design on da paint yoke, thats
all i can do!!:D :D

[damoGUFC]

Priced the flag today, €250 (size 4 foot by 6 and a half!!!)

[corbyeire]

that doesnt seem too bad at all - but like some of the others were saying - if ye all went in at the one time with the 3 or 4 designs ye have - maybe ye would get a deal??

[damoGUFC]

Thats a good idea cobyeire!:D

[galwaygirl]

It's a bit Primary School-ish. How about something bold like...

GALWAY UNITED LOYALISTS

or

TO HELL OR TO CONNACHT

?
No, "TO HELL OR TO CONNACHT" is on all the Connacht rugby posters. who had the sayin lately "To Connacht or to Hell", thought it was funny myself

[corbyeire]

if your afraid of copying the rugby boys - just spell connaught as opposed to connacht

[damoGUFC]

So what ye think of the polished up design????

[gilberto_eire]

ya but ''to hell or to connacht'' is a famous historical statement made by cromwell was it during the plantations?. i dont think theres a prob using it the rugby boys didnt make it up!.

[Paddyfield]

How about To Hell Or To Connacht Rugby ;)

[corbyeire]

good idea, ha ha - but i think theyve got enough coverage already - a serious competitor to gufc for the fickle crowd - less said about them the better!

[GalwayFrancis]

my flag should be here, three weeks from monday, all going well. so ill have it in time for the kick off! hopefully
