Flag designs to liven up sports festivals and field days

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

For sports festivals and field days, flag designs are often not only chosen from existing options but also decided by soliciting designs from classes or teams.

However, even if you want to submit a design, it can be hard to come up with ideas.

In this article, we’ll share plenty of flag design ideas recommended for sports festivals and field days.

Whether you want to stand out with color or express your class or team’s unity, you’re sure to find ideas that turn your vague concepts into a clear design! Use the ideas we introduce as inspiration while showcasing your team’s unique personality.

♫ Original Song – Honrowa [Dawn Fantasy] – Honrowa

Let’s draw using your favorite motif! Here are some ideas for anthropomorphism.

Anthropomorphism refers to expressing non-human things—such as animals, plants, objects, or concepts—by attributing human characteristics and emotions to them.

This time, let’s try drawing an anthropomorphized design.

In the video, a coiled, spiraling snake is anthropomorphized into a man wearing a kimono.

The color and shape of the eyes make use of the snake’s distinctive traits.

What’s more, the white kimono seems to express the mysterious allure and charm associated with a white snake.

Thunderclap and Lightning

It looks like it’s glowing! Here are some ideas for a thunderbolt-inspired design.

Many of you might be thinking about creating designs for school sports days or athletic festivals using animals with a cool image as motifs.

This time, let’s try combining a striking slogan with an animal motif.

Since the team’s theme color is yellow, a design with lightning striking against a black background leaves a strong impression.

By being creative with the color scheme, it can even look as if it’s truly glowing.

Definitely give it a try!

heart

The heart motif is a popular choice that many people associate with the idea of the heart.

A sports festival is an event where everyone comes together with one heart and aims for victory.

So why not create a class flag with a heart motif? You could go with the classic rounded heart, or combine it with flames to depict a powerful, burning heart.

There are many ways to make it—paint the heart with brushes, or layer everyone’s handprints to form the shape.

Try designing a heart-themed class flag that brings everyone’s feelings together.

yōko (bewitching fox; fox spirit)

Here are some ideas for a unique and eye-catching class flag featuring a fox spirit (yoko)! Known as a character with magic and charm, the fox spirit can express your team’s unity and strength when depicted on a flag.

The color red symbolizes passion and energy, and combined with a fox spirit illustration, it inspires courage.

Since fox spirits appear in Japanese legends, they also carry cultural significance.

By playing with the fox spirit’s expressions and movements, you can convey fun and liveliness, enhancing the appeal of the Red Team—so be sure to use these ideas as a reference!

Prajna (wisdom)

How about using an illustration of a Hannya mask for your sports festival class flag? The Hannya, a symbol of strength and courage, is perfect for rallying your team! Plus, its bold, impactful design could help your class stand out from the others.

Using vivid colors and expressing fun and determination through the mask’s expression is another key point.

Creating it together with your classmates will deepen your bonds and make it a sports festival you’ll always remember! Come up with a slogan as a team, too, and enjoy the process of making the flag!

cherry blossom blizzard

We’d like to introduce a perfect motif for classic slogans like “Hyakka Ryoran”: a flurry of falling blossoms.

A class flag with petals dancing across it is sure to look glamorous and stylish! You can make all the petals the same shape and vary the colors, or add flowers here and there.

Since it’s an easy motif to arrange, have everyone in the class think about what kind of blossom storm you want.

Consider making the flag itself a single color so the falling petals stand out—it will create a strong impact.
