    I'm just curious, where did you get 'em? What materials, how much did they cost, etc. If you can help me out that would be great, thanks.:)

    The Materials are pretty simple:

    Red Cloth(Fabric Store)
    White House Paint(Frazee/Comex :D)
    Sponge Brushes
    Yard Stick(Stencil)
    Grease Pencil(Stencil)
    Painters Tape
    4 Cases of Beer
    15 Union Ultras

    The project takes 1 full day to plan out the banner and apply the first coat. I would suggest at least 2 coats to prevent the material color from bleeding through.

    The beer is key.

    Plastic tarp isn't a good idea because the paint won't take. And, yes, it usually takes two coats if it's acrylic paint. If you have a good enamel, it might take just one.

    Buena suerte, hermano en football.

    I always wondered how Legion made that HUUGE banner from the last SuperClasico game from last year, let alone how they carried that thing in. That was pretty damn awesome.
