This is going to be absolutely kick ass. The flag, white with a red cross (St. George’s style) will say “Arsenal America” in white letters across the red horizontal stripe. In the upper left quadrant will be the U.S. flag. Lower right quadrant will be the Canadian flag. Lower left will be the old-style cannon, upper right will be the new-style cannon. These will all be sewn on, no cheap silk screening. The flag will be 10 feet wide, five feet high.
Of course, this flag doesn’t happen without all of you. The donations were tremendous. This flag truly belongs to Arsenal America. My hope is that in addition to making yearly trips to Highbury, the flag will also be photographed at pubs and events around the U.S. We’ll build an online gallery so we can record for posterity our allegiance to the Arsenal.
Thanks all very much.

If you have trouble getting it into the stadium, I volunteer to wear it as a “toga” to fool those clever security guards…
This is really cool and I look forward to the unveiling of the banner at Highbury on the 10th! Where I won’t need no stinking ESPN2 to watch the only Champion’s League match that matters!

I look forward to seeing it in TBirds in December. Well done, Thanks to your info I’ve been in contact with Barmy Flags. We are hoping to order a 12×6 with TBird Gooners along the centre, the old style cannon and the art deco badge from the 30s-50s. Same as my tattoo.
Be lucky

Kelvin,
Good stuff, I hope you told them Arsenal America sent you.
