Or, what if you have the banners, but you want to add extra “ummph” to your home field’s concession stand or bleachers?  A bunch of soccer flags would be perfect!

Flags can be an excellent way of showing support, generating extra revenue for your team, and making your team stand out from the crowd.

Zaavy can create customized 16-foot tall Z-blade flags for your team.  A Z-Blade flag is 16 foot tall by over 2 foot wide. It is made of machine-washable, polysilk fabric. The Z-Blade is manufactured using an advanced dye-sublimation process and printed on both sides to ensure 100% vivid color all over.

As is common on custom flags, the back side of the flag shows the reverse image of the front. The flag is double-stitched for outdoor durability. The Z-Blade has a reinforced pole pocket through which our optional 19 foot telescopic fiberglass pole is thread and secured using the included 4-foot tie string. Order the pole as part of our Z-Blade accessory kit which also includes a carrying case and ground stake.

Visit our design page and let Zaavy help create flags and banners for your team.  Please allow an additional 5 business days for flag delivery.  Call Zaavy at our toll free number, 800-648-1972, if you have any questions or need assistance with your design.

Zaavy specializes in creating unique soccer banners.  With the click of a mouse, you can create a custom, personalized banner for your soccer team.  Choose from our many design templates and layout options, or insert your own logos and photographs.  Either way, Zaavy’s banners will help show off your winning team and individual players.

Another thing to consider is to create several unique banners to help with the different year-round events.  For example, you can create a different banner for the annual fundraiser, several banners for home games, a couple for away games, and a special tournament banner.

Visit our design page and let us know how Zaavy can help your team stand out from the crowd.

  • Will your banner be hanging indoors only?
  • If your banner hangs outside, what is the weather going to be like?
  • Will your banner be up for just one game, or up for the whole season?
  • Will the banner get dirty?  If so, how will you clean it?
  • Will there be a lot of rain and wind hitting your banner?
  • Does your banner need to be rugged…like your players?
  • Do you need a banner that can take abuse, but still look good?

We print your banner using professional, top-quality wide format printers. We use quality materials such as eco-solvent, sun-resistant inks, and rugged 13 oz vinyl. The result is as good or better than you could get at your local print shop. We also print banners on vinyl mesh, pressure sensitive (adhesive backed) vinyl, and bioflex (as an environmentally friendly option).
When designing your soccer banner, you may want a little guidance or have questions, so we encourage you to call our toll free number at 800-648-1972. 1972 send an email to support@zaavy.com, or use the online chat service available at the top of every page.  We will be happy to help you design a soccer banner that makes your team proud.

Zaavy’s personalized banners make it easy for you to show off your team.

Personalized soccer banners are easy and fun to create on our website.  We have templates that allow you to select what type of look you want…right down to the names of team members, font styles, background colors, and design layout.

Once you’ve designed your soccer team’s banner, we offer several sizes, materials, and mounting options.  Choose the size and material that’s easy for you to clean and transport, but make sure the mounting style fit your needs as well.  For example, will you need to hang your banner on a pole or attach it to a chain link fence?

Banners look great, but they look even better when they are hung properly. That’s why we also offer PVC banner stands that are easy to assemble, safe, and will perfectly fit around your team’s personalized banner (with pole pocket mounting)

Churches and places of worship are feeling the pain too – and we’re trying to help by providing great looking indoor and outdoor signage for this group at the lowest costs possible. Just like we did for youth soccer and baseball, we are applying technology to the church banner problem.

Zaavy has been Baseball Team Banners and Baseball League Banners banners for years now. I believe most purchase from us based on quality, turnaround time and because they find our pricing to be of good value. With our new site, www.zaavy.com/faith, we add another level of value – great on-line designs that make designing a Team Baseball Banners fast and easy.

We’ve found a number of categories of banners churches need and put our designers to work designing great looking templates for the common categories – Church Name banners for the front of the church, Service Schedules, Bible Study and more.

Faith_Banners

A church now simply looks for a template to get started and personalizesit by changing text, colors, logos or any other items they choose. They can save their designs, e-mail them to other members of the congregation or simply save them to work on at a later time. Once the design is complete the banner or sign is placed in the shopping cart and purchased. So for comparative purposes let’s look at using Zaavy versus your local sign shop:

Typical Baseball Team Banner Banner Costs
Non-web Company Zaavy
Price $120 $79.95
Design Costs $   60+ $0
Two Driving Trips $   16 $0
Shipping 0 $12.00
TOTAL $196 $91.95

The savings are dramatic and even more so when you purchase multiple banners. A Basball League that purchases 50 team banners can save over $5000!

Sponsors seek exposure on the baseball fields and within the leagues. Baseball Leagues seek to offset administration and operational costs with sponsorship where possible. Baseball Sponsor Banners play a role in this relationship. Zaavy works with hundreds of baseball leagues each season and here we share what observations we have made about raising funds for your baseball organization with Baseball Sponsor Banners.

Baseball Sponsor Banners on the Outfield Fence

On the Outfield Fence – Premium Sponsor Dollars – Raise up to $8,000!

Some recreational field and many high school ball fields allow sponsor banners to remain on the outfield fence for a full season. The individual sponsors will pay for a banner to be placed on the outfield fence for the full season. In some cases the sponsor supplies the banner or sign but in most cases the baseball organization takes care of  obtaining the baseball sponsor banner.  general we have heard from leagues and schools that they sell the outfield sponsor signage space for up to $500. In most cases we hear that the figure of $400 to $500 per sign. These signs are usually 8 feet by 4 feet or 8 feet by 3 feet in size. And most often these Baseball Sponsor banners are made from high quality digital vinyl or sometimes rigid signs made of digitally printed Coroplast. In general vinyl banners look better and cost less but must be hung carefully to provide the tight crisp appearance. From Zaavy, and 8×3 Baseball Sponsor Banner costs $102 so each Baseball Sponsor Banner sold raises $298 – $398. A league which sells20 banners can raise nearly $8,000!

Team Banners : Covering Baseball Team Banner Costs

Baseball Teams in many regions around the country use baseball team banners that contain the team and player names. Many leagues will place sponsor names in the center of the banners. For that placement, the sponsor pays for the team banner. In return, the Teams display the Baseball Team Banner in all its games by hanging the banner on the backdrop or dugout fence.

Baseball Team Banners from Zaavy

Zaavy baseball banners are available for field placement as baseball sponsor banners and baseball team banners. Teams and leagues can design their banners on the Zaavy web site eliminating the cost of hiring a graphic designer. Teams and league can collaborate on the designs. Becasuse Zaavy’s on-line prices are low, leagues can maximize the benefit of sponsorship. Visit Zaavy Baseball at  http://team.zaavy.com/.

Baseball playing fields normally have fences around the playing field, behind the dugouts and of course behind the batters box. All make great places to hang your baseball team banners and sponsor banners.

Below is a picture of a Zaavy Team Banner secured to fence with Bungee Balls, which Zaavy supplies as an option when you purchase your banner. Bungee balls are great hanging options because they hold the Team Banner nice and tight against the fence, are easy to transport and very easy to install without any tools.

Banner Properly Secured to Baseball Fence

To start, simply take the bungee ball cord through the grommet. Thread the ball back through the the strap and wrap it around the fence and pull the ball portion of the strap behind the banner. Secure it to the  fence and you are good to go.

Longer Term Installation

For Baseball Sponsor  or placement of Team Banners  where the banner will stay in place for a full season, consider using Zip Ties. These are found at any hardware store and require scissors, cutters or a knife to remove. They are preferred if the team or sponsor banner is staying in place for an extended period.
