Soccer Banner Ideas

Soccer is one of the most popular sports around the world. Creating a banner for a key game or to congratulate your team for a season well done is a great way to ramp up team spirit. A team banner can celebrate and cheer anything you want with your team but should be easy to read and positive.

  1. Homemade

    • Homemade banners are easy to make and generally evoke the most emotion. You can use a long sheet of butcher paper to make a banner unique for your team. Design your banner on scratch paper before taking the design to the full-size version. Make sure you have enough room for your words as well as any graphics you want. Try to keep the banner balanced with words to make it easy to read.
      You can place pictures of team members as a frame around the words. Another idea is to use ribbon to create a soccer goal and use a large picture of a ball being kicked into it. Homemade banners are great for special congratulations and games. Use your imagination to spice up a homemade banner for your favorite soccer team.

    Professional Banner

    • There are many resources that can make a professional banner for you. These resources are not as inexpensive as butcher paper and paint, but they are not always considered an expensive alternative. You can find a local printing company or an online printer that can create a weather-resistant banner that can stick with the team for the entire season. They come in a variety of sizes from three to 10 feet long and will cost anywhere between $25 and $100 (average of $8 per square foot in 2009). You will need to provide any print company a digital file of your banner design in a jpeg or pdf file. Use a desktop publishing program to create your design. Keep the file as large and as high a resolution as possible to be sure that it is pristine when viewed on a large banner. Create the file with at least a 300 dpi. Some companies are able to provide design services for an additional charge.

    Concepts

    • Sports always give us reason to cheer and celebrate. Create a soccer banner as a way to show your support for your team or teammates. This could be celebrating anything from a team birthday, special accomplishment by a team member or a team success like winning a regional championship.
      If your soccer team has a regular field it calls home, you may create a banner for each year of championship achievement commemorating the history of soccer success. Every athlete loves to know that someone appreciates their efforts and your banner can be just that demonstration of love and support.
