jamboiain13 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi all, I have tried contacting a couple of flag makers in an attempt to have a 6x3 maroon saltire manufactured but have had no luck to date. Can anyone recommend where I can have a flag made? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNelly15 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 You should check Ebay, normally good for flags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers If your struggling to get one made, nip into John Lewis' dress fabrics department and get maroon and white material from there, easier and cheaper to rustle up a Maroon/White/Maroon number or do it in the style of the Latvian flag 🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 There was a flag I really wanted years ago. Maroon cotton saltire with the badge in the middle and "HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN FOOTBALL CLUB" stitched on to it. I seen it at a couple of away games in the early 90s and I was never sure if it was a bespoke one or available to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedBoy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 This one was £20 from https://www.casualsattire.com/ Tell him what you want and he’ll knock it up for you. I got this for my lassie who is Scottish Champ in gymnastics but we weren’t allowed to watch her compete at the time and had to watch her from the hotel on zoom. (Covid19) so just thought I’d try to cheer her up a wee bit 🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to hang my flag (3m x 1m). On the walkway in the main stand, I might have to shove a couple of our disabled fans along a bit but hey ho. only kidding, I’m sure it will fit somewhere along there without disturbing anyone.

It also causes a fuss amongst their new age Nationalist, Irish Republican element within their fan base. However the myth that those colours do not run is exactly that, a myth. The Maroon and silver/grey KDY Union Flag is of similar age. Edited July 20, 2022 by dannymack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
