Senior night banners: sizes, photos and timing
A senior night banner is a custom vinyl banner made for one senior athlete (their photo, name, jersey number, team and class year) or for the whole senior class on one team banner. For one athlete, order a portrait 2' x 3', 3' x 4.5' or 4' x 6' banner; for the team, a wide 2' x 6', 3' x 9' or 4' x 12' banner. Design and a proof are free, and approving your proof by 9 PM ET on a business day ships it the next business day with free overnight shipping.
One athlete or the whole team
Single-athlete banners feature one senior: a large photo, their name, jersey number, position or title (like "Captain"), sport, school and class year, in your team colors. Parents hold them up during the senior walk, hang them on the fence or gym wall, and keep them afterwards.
Team banners put every senior on one wide banner with a headshot, name and number for each. They are often ordered by a team parent or booster club for the senior night ceremony.
Which size to choose
- 2' x 3' (24" x 36"): easy to hold up while walking, and fits a fence panel or wall.
- 3' x 4.5' (36" x 54"): bigger photo and name, easier to see from the stands.
- 4' x 6' (48" x 72"): the largest single-athlete size, for reading from across a field. At 6 feet tall, plan on two people to hold it up.
- Team banners, 2' x 6', 3' x 9' or 4' x 12': the team banner listing suggests about 6, 10 and 14 seniors for these sizes. Ask us if your senior class is bigger.
What to send us
- The athlete's name as it should be printed, jersey number, and position or title.
- Sport, school or team name, team colors and class year.
- One clear, well-lit photo, ideally waist-up or full body in uniform. A sharp phone photo works; send the original file, not a screenshot. For a team banner, one headshot per senior.
Choose "Design it for me (free)" at checkout and a designer builds the banner from these details. Already have a finished design? Choose "I have my own artwork" and upload it after checkout. See artwork and proofs.
Timing it for your senior night
- Order and send the photo and details.
- We email you a link to your proof. Check every spelling and number.
- Approve the proof by 9 PM ET on a business day: it ships the next business day by free overnight shipping.
- It arrives 1-2 business days after it ships. Most orders arrive 1-3 business days after approval.
Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding US federal holidays, and we ship to US addresses only (all 50 states; we cannot deliver to P.O. boxes). To be safe, order early enough that you can approve the proof at least 3 business days before senior night. Full details are in the shipping policy.
Displaying it at the game
The banners are 13oz vinyl with hemmed edges and grommets, for indoor or outdoor use. Zip-tie the grommets to a chain-link fence or bleacher rail, or hang them on a gym wall with hooks. More on hanging, wind and storage.
Frequently asked questions
What size banner do I need for senior night?
For one athlete, pick a portrait banner: 2' x 3' is easy to hold up during the senior walk or hang on a fence, while 3' x 4.5' and 4' x 6' read better from the stands. For a team banner with every senior on it, pick 2' x 6', 3' x 9' or 4' x 12'; the team banner listing suggests about 6, 10 and 14 seniors for those sizes.
How much is a senior night banner?
Design, the proof and overnight shipping are free.
How fast can I get a senior night banner?
Approve your proof by 9 PM ET on a business day and your banner ships the next business day by free overnight shipping, arriving 1-2 business days after it ships. Most orders arrive 1-3 business days after proof approval (business days are Monday to Friday, excluding US federal holidays). Leave time for the proof too: order early enough that you can approve it at least 3 business days before your senior night.
What photo should I send?
One clear, well-lit photo of the athlete, ideally waist-up or full body in uniform. A phone photo works if it is sharp; use the original file rather than a screenshot. For a team banner, send one headshot per senior.
Can I use my own design?
Yes. At checkout choose "I have my own artwork" and upload your file from the link you get right after checkout (it is also in your order confirmation email). Or choose "Design it for me (free)" and a designer makes it for you. Either way you get a proof to approve before anything is printed.
Can I order a single senior night banner?
Yes. Every size is priced for one banner, there is no minimum order, and each one comes with a free design and a free proof.
Can a senior night banner hang outside on a fence?
Yes. The banners are printed on 13oz vinyl for indoor or outdoor use, with hemmed edges and grommets, so you can zip-tie them to a chain-link fence, bleacher rail or gym wall.
