side story:

there's a new guy working in the office, and he's a Brit.
I'm introduced to him, and someone says 'This is our resident TFC supporter'.
The new guy's been to a few games, and says he really enjoys it.

My older co worker says "Mike's part of some group... the uhhhh...?"
and the new guy says "The Red Patch?"

I tell him yes, and he has a good friendly chuckle. "Wow.... that's great!" he says.

Hey guys, how long did it take for you guys to make that banner... i'm thinking more than 6 minutes ;)?

The gridding took King Dave about an hour on his own (I seem to recall him saying). The painting of the logos on either end was about 90-120mins. The roller down the middle? 30mins. The lettering on that a few days later? About two hours.

So, all told... maybe 5-6 hours of actual time.

I think that is a bit or a conservative estimate Sulfur! ;) Although if you subtract drying time you are probably right!

Either way, this video gives everyone an idea of what goes into some of the banners that are displayed down at BMO. And this one is rather small ;)

Probably one of the sexiest banners TFC supporters have ever made. I love it.

Judging by the number of people involved, I'd guess at (not including dry time of course) about 50-60 man hours were involved in that one.

But, in terms of the actual "real" hours of gridding and painting, we did that one impressively quickly.

no, it's a loft space he rents and pretends to live in.
It's all for show.

Wow. Just showed the kids with the sound off. Oopsie in the middle with the crew message! But very impressive. Dave with that Beauty grand piano I would have thought you'd be a better singer! I kid I kid. :)

Well done to all, I can confirm that Dave is a great singer.

There is a reason why we call him the king.

Wow! Just wow. I had no idea that you guys made that banner yourselves. I was so impressed with ya'lls display in Chucktown that I guess that I assumed they were prfesionally done. Great video to boot Parky!

That's Awesome!!!! I never really understood how much work goes into making some of our banners but now I think I have an appreciation of how much work that everyone puts in. Outstanding job to everyone that gives there time to create any of our banners.
