The owners seem to be going with the whole worldwide marketing thing as "LONDON"
As on the new badge logo and London Stadium.
I am surprised they are OK with EAST LONDON? Then again they will not be holding it aloft every game.

I've always liked the 'we are East London' slogan and I also like the way it fills out the flag.

all the designs on the voting poll have been approved already by the club and the operators.

Well done for trying ' but I reckon the only flag that would get approved by the club would be cringy / insipid and for that reason
I am out ...

It was definitely the operators. The guys at the club I've been dealing with have been really good so far, and literally have their hands tied on the 'United We Stand' one. It is what it is, but we won't let it stop us getting this up and running.

Great idea and may get the crowd going, although you just know some of our new cunts would complain that their view is being blocked.
Can you ask the club to bring back the bugle player as well.

timmy, good stuff.
If we take the club's word, that they supported the idea of "United, We Stand" then it tells us a fair bit about who is fucking us over with dodgy security making people sit down. I wonder if the stadium operators would back that up and say "Yes, it was us that vetoed that flag idea."
You never know who to trust these days though. I prefer to think it was the stadium and not the club. Makes it all the more annoying that Levy screwed our chances of owning the stadium.

Surely nothing beats ' W'eve got a bigger one than you and Its claret and blue '
'Stadium' if your too thick to understand.

Latest update on the flag
Been working hard on getting the designs finalised and I have put together a selection of the best 5 that have taken into consideration all of the suggestions put forward.
Unfortunately the stadium operators, because of connotations with the standing issue rejected my favourite ‘United We Stand’. The club however backed it and tried to help push it through, but the stadium operators wouldn't back down.
Each design uses the original font that was used on the club badge (before it was changed) to retain the heritage, and logo wise I have stuck to the distinctive crossed hammers. They are all pretty clean and simple – claret and blue with a white logo and each flag in its own way draws on the history and culture of West Ham as we know it, and that none of us want to lose or see disappear.
The dimensions are yet to be confirmed but the plans are for this to be an absolute monster, rolling down from the back of the stand, and being carried towards pitch side at the bottom. Ideally we want it to cover the length of the stand and this will ensure that the flag makes a massive impact.
So, the online poll I have set up can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7JN5PCF
The poll is being hosted by all of the major independent West Ham sites, vlogs etc so everyone will get a chance to vote. Since my last post a senior member at the club has contacted me and they will be hosting a poll directly on the official club site in conjunction with the independent one, which will allow other fans that don't necessarily use the independent sites to vote as well.
The results in the New Year will then be added up and the design with the most votes will be added to a crowdfunding site where fans can chip in and make donations to get it made. Flags of this size can be extremely expensive but if everyone chips in a couple of quid then it’s job done. A link to the crowd funding site will be posted in due course.
Incidentally, when the club approached me they also offered to pay for the flag in full as well as a smaller one for the Bobby Moore lower. To be fair to them, they made it clear that they didn’t wanna get involved in the design or retract from it being a fan led thing, they just thought it was a good idea and wanted to support it.
The way I have played it with them is that we should try and fund it ourselves and if we fall short at all they can make up the rest, which I think they are happy to do.
So yeah, here is the link again, go and vote for the one you like the best. IRONS

Re: Massive East Stand Flag

I think it's a shit idea frankly and indicative of what we've become. Shall we have flag wavers as well like those Chelsea cunts do?
However, if you do go ahead with it then a simple message of BRADY IS A CUNT across it should do the trick.

Northern,
Nowhere near big enough. It's 24ft x 12ft, as I said. He doesn't take it now for the exact reason stated, too much hassle. I remembered a few years ago, it was trying to get moved along the BML, it just isn't big enough to do that.
