How Sports Clubs and Events Can Use Teardrop Banners and Custom Flags for Maximum Visibility

Why Advertising Flags Are Essential for Sporting Events

Sporting organisations in Australia—from AFL clubs to little leagues—require strong visual presence to stand out in competitive community environments. High-visibility signage such as teardrop banners, custom flags, flag banners, and flag bunting are among the most cost-effective ways to achieve this.

Whether you're hosting a local meet-up, managing a weekend netball game, or organising a large-scale tournament, advertising flags serve not only as directional signage but also as effective promotional tools that boost your club's brand awareness.

Case Study: West Coburg Netball Club

West Coburg Netball Club recently enhanced their club visibility using our teardrop banners and flag bunting. Their goal was to boost engagement at training sessions and community days. The design process was simplified through our Canva templates, and the final product was delivered within just 5 working days. You can view more about their community on Facebook.

Three Smart Ways to Use Teardrop Banners, Custom Flags and Bunting for Sports Advertising

1. Highlight Zones and Sponsor Areas at Sporting Events

Use feather banners and teardrop banners to clearly mark:

• Registration tents

• First aid areas

• VIP and sponsor marquees

This increases visibility for attendees and offers sponsors a professional platform.

2. Create a Branded Entrance and Finish Line

Sporting events such as marathons, netball tournaments, or football matches benefit from strong entry signage. Use our custom feather flags and pull up banners to create a consistent brand identity throughout the event.

3. Promote Community Engagement and Awareness

Display advertising flags and custom flag bunting during weekly training sessions or club open days. This boosts local awareness and makes your club easier to find and more welcoming to new members.
