When your basketball team is down, nothing raises its spirits more than a
well-made and clever sign. While you can always have your sports
basketball spirit sign designed and printed by an office supply store,
you can also create your own sign or banner to show team support by
using a large sheet of vinyl or, for smaller signs, poster board.
Instructions
- Vinyl or poster board
- Colored markers
- Spray adhesive
- Glitter

1
Sketch out a design for your
basketball spirit sign or banner. Sketching out your design will give
you a chance to refine your design, making sure you have enough space
for each element of your design. Consider developing your design along
the lines of a particular theme, such as homecoming.

2
Buy the vinyl or poster board in
the size that you need. It is important to select a size you can work
with. A handheld sign needs to be small enough for one or two people to
hold up, while a vinyl sign will need a location you can hang it from.

3
Draw out your design on the
surface. You may also want to purchase or create your own stencils for
certain elements of your overall sign's design, especially if you are
creating a very large spirit sign or banner. You may, for instance, want
a stencil of a player dunking a basketball or letter stencils.

Consider leaving a space where fans can write in their well-wishes to the team (for larger spirit banners or signs).
