The Boise State Victory Flag

I wanted to share with you the latest project that I have been working on. As you know, I think it vitally important to honor tradition and past achievements at Boise State. We have been working with the Boise State R.O.T.C. to begin a tradition of honoring past conference champions, postseason tournament and bowl winners and national champions.

The great R.O.T.C. people at Boise State have agreed to carry the Boise State flag for all Bronco football games. It will follow the American flag and the state of Idaho flag to midfield for the presentation of colors prior to the playing and singing of the National Anthem. The flag will also include 36" banners saluting all national champions (both team and individual), postseason tournament and bowl winners and conference champions from all sports in the history of the school. The banners each have a grommet, from which they can be attached to the top of the flag. While not in use, the flag will be available for public display on campus.

The flag will make its premiere at Homecoming this fall. We will also kick off an annual Homecoming tradition prior to the football game, in which each sport that earns a banner from the previous year will be on hand to pin its banner to the flag. For this year, the men's tennis team will pin their banners for regular season Mountain West championship and postseason tournament championship, and the swimming & diving team will pin their banner for the Mountain West championship to the Victory Flag.

I can share the above information because it has been approved by the Boise State R.O.T.C. and has been paid for. Below are the Inaugural Banners for the Victory Flag.
