A new big flag

Gone for 2, as I think it is just the stronger looking banner. I like the first one but feel the dolphin just wouldn't be visible from a distance. Good work though, I look forward to the new addition to the North Stand.

Sorry guys. Don't like any of them! All a bit boring and detailed for impact from a far. Not that my opinion really counts, do what you like. We need more flags so any new ones should be welcomed.
Agreed. The crest is overly fussy and brings an unnecessary faux-grandeur to the flag.
It is best served using one idea, and to fully embody that idea, not a crest that contains everything and the kitchen sink. And then not with a seagull and dolphin on either side.

Just my personal thoughts on the matter.
I voted for number 2 but don't really like any of them particularly. I think the 1901 is too prominent and I'm not keen on the badge on all of them, it's too fussy for a large flag, in my opinion. But I'm grateful for the work you've put in trying to organise this and hope we can get another big flag.
Agree with the above - not keen on the designs, but appreciate the work and welcome anything you make.

Re the designs:
1 - I don't feel the need to refer to the dolphins
2 - Sussex by the sea is a bit too big for my liking, as we already have the stand or fall banner - this is probably my favourite of the 4, preferably with SBTS in a smaller font
3 - Too much emphasis on 1901
4 - Hardly anyone knows what it means

This one is the best IMO.

The only thing I'd say is that the seagull in the crest looks a bit weird with a yellow beak and maybe have a play around with a few different fonts.

The flag will be fireproof and have the necessary certificate etc. We have storage for the flag within the stadium. If you work for a printers or know a firm interested in printing this please get in touch.

Do yourselves a massive favour, go to a firm that specialises in printing huge stadium flags, don't go to any old printer who wants to do it. Take it from me (and a few others around here) no-one will join in if the thing weighs the same as a car, before it gets wet, and is impossible to lug about the place.

2 followed by 4. Don't like 3 at all and don't like the dolphin on the first one.

Well done anyway.

Trying to vote for this one but seems to be a problem with the webpage to vote. Anyone else having difficulty?

Gone for 1. I'd agree with the (constructive, in my view) criticism - for me, the others are not really club-specific enough. At least not overtly. Will be contributing, though - regardless of personal views on the designs, good work, people.

Agreed, if you want to do a flag then why not something similar to the old REMF one, just the club badge with SBTS on it would have more impact in my opinion.

Time for the Poyetry in Motion flag to be replaced:

With some "Football by Oscar Garcia"

Of course I want to win as many games as possible but always playing for you, playing for the fans, because you are the heart of the club, you are the heart of the football, because football without fans is nothing.
