The banner the whole student section carries

A crowd surfer banner is the giant flag that rolls across a stadium section on a hundred pairs of hands. We made Alabama's. We made UCF's. We made the Buccaneers'. Yours is next.

Nothing on a broadcast reads like a full-section banner surging over the crowd. It is the shot the networks cut to, the photo on the athletic department's feed, and the thing recruits remember. It is also a serious piece of fabric engineering: it has to be light enough for students to lift, strong enough to survive being pulled in a dozen directions, and printed to look right from the upper deck and on camera.

What we build

  • Sizes from a 20×30 foot section banner to full-section pieces the length of a lower bowl
  • Lightweight knitted polyester, dye-sublimated so the color is in the fiber, not on top of it
  • Reinforced perimeter with a heavy webbing hem and hand-holds where the crowd grabs
  • Sewn panels laid out so seams run with the pull, not against it

Who orders them

Athletic departments, student governments and spirit organizations at universities; pro and minor league teams; high school booster clubs that want the same effect on a smaller budget. We have shipped them across the country.

How it works

  1. Send us the measurements: the width and depth you want the banner to cover, and where it starts and ends. A photo of the section helps, and we can work from a seating chart if that is easier.
  2. Send the artwork or a description. Our designers lay it out at scale, so the mark stays readable when the banner is moving and folded.
  3. You approve a proof with the finished dimensions.
  4. We build, test-fold and ship.

Also for the stadium
