Football flags have been an essential part of the material culture of football, from the grassroots to the professional game for over a hundred years. We embedded the sounds of grassroots football in ours: the sound of matches on village greens, on pitch rituals, to the distinctive on-pitch communication - get rid!, stick it in the mixer & studs brushing the grass.
