==Sports banners== [[File:TIFO FCN.jpg|thumb|[[FC Nantes]] banner]] Sports fans often buy or make banners to display in the grandstands. Team banners typically contain the logo, name or nickname, motto and the team colors. Banners on individual competitors can contain a picture or drawing of the player. Sports banners may also honor notable players or hall-of-fame athletes and commemorate past championships won. These types of sports banners are typically hung from [[rafter]]s in stadiums and arenas. In North American indoor professional sports, the previous season's champion traditionally does not install their awarded championship banner until moments prior to their first home game of the season that follows, in a ceremony that is chiefly referred to as "raising the banner". Uruguay's [[Club Nacional de Football]] supporters made a 600 x 50 metre banner that weighs over 2 tonnes; they claim it is the largest in the world.<ref>[http://www.ovaciondigital.com.uy/120811/futnac-657139/futbolnacional/gigante-como-su-hinchada/ Gigante como su hinchada] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121115090748/http://www.ovaciondigital.com.uy/120811/futnac-657139/futbolnacional/gigante-como-su-hinchada/ |date=2012-11-15 }} - Diario Ovción, August 11, 2012</ref> It was unveiled in April 2013 in a [[Copa Libertadores]] football match at the [[Estadio Centenario]].
