Looking for a new Xavier Flag to hang from the house and wanted to see what people had flying and from where they purchased the flag.

This one for $35.00 isn't bad...but wanted to see if anyone had other options...

One of my neighbors has that hanging from their balcony on the 17th floor. It looks good even from the ground.

As your local flag collector, I can tell you that is the official flag that is on sale now. I think the ones I am about to show you have been discontinued.

I have a few Xavier flags, here are some pics:

Oh wait, thanks to Flickr stopping the ability to hotlink to the photo, and this board having HTML turned off, I am reduced to giving links:

"Xavier Nation flag" - It looks sort of like the American flag except the striped are blue and white, and a big X replaces the star field. My most expensive Xavier flag at $65 owing to all the stripes being individually sewn together instead of printed.

I also have the current flag, which you have pictured already. Others are the plain white X on a blue field, as seen outside Cintas Center. The one that I want and can't find is the Tricolor X flag, with the outer two bands in blue, and the center band in white with the X logo on it. I just saw one of these flying on the flagpole between Elet and Joseph halls last week.

If the pic is on your PC you can upload to this forum.

PS: Nice flags.

I have a couple. I would say the spend the extra money and buy a good one. Some of the silk screened ones that are screened onto the material will fade and crack over time.

Get the embroidered ones or ones with an applique. It it's screened directly into the material, then it will last longer too. Flagg USA in Oakley has some X flags in addition to the bookstore or online somewhere.

That's the official flag - available at the Cintas Center gift shop or the Bookstore. You can even get it through their online store.

I'm not sure what design Flaggs USA is selling for Xavier these days.

Don't think I haven't thought about that scorers table banner auction.

You can't do HTML on the main boards... just in the X lounge.

Just Google Xavier Flag and you will also find this online at a couple of different sites.

The Xavier Nation flag is/was the best X flag ever in my mind. Haven't seen them for sale in several years though.
