    Jets Tifo thread

    All discussions on tifo here
    Banners and standards ideas, all are welcome. In our discussions with the Jets recently, we have pushed to get back to the days where anyone can make their own standards and banners and bring them to games without going through the rigmarole of having to clear them with the security office first. I am hoping that we will get clarification that security will simply check them at the gate and allow them in (so long as there is no profanity or its not oversized).

    Rough guidelines we have is that standards need to be no bigger than 1.2m (including poles), I will endeavour to get this clarified along with guidelines for fence banners (ie Troopers etc)
    So get designing, make them good, post up pics for critiquing, please be respectful of other peoples work. Not everybody can be Da Vinci, but a certain level is required for it to look good.

    The large scale tifo displays will continue to be worked on in secret - we hope that everybody understands the need for this.

    If anyone shows a good level of artistic prowess, it may lead to bigger things down the road

    Obviously by saying the Large Scale Tifo's are secret you are not gonna divulge the content/plan of the next one.

    Can you though give an indicator as to when it may be seeing the light of day though???

    Sometime between the first home game, and the last.
    Usually just prior to kickoff.

    No.
    We are always open to ideas for new displays.
    But the "what, when and where" are always disclosed on a need to know basis.

    Hi MFKS,

    It is normal practice for the club to plan any supporter displays for when it is convenient for our marketing and sponsors. Supporter displays are also usually commissioned on the basis of our upcoming fixtures. Unfortunately we can't reveal the exact dates when these displays are planned for.

    Hope that answers your question #goJets

    Bet response so far... In short Tinks hasn't paid his bills, and hasn't paid for any Tifo for the upcoming season either, so nothing is planned.


    Blame the carbon tax

    Time
    Money
    Man Power

    Lack of talent

    No sewing skills to speak of and I operate on a 2:1 ratio of turps to paint when painting.

    Not to mention my skills painting are not the best as I was one of those kids who couldn't stay in the lines during colouring in comps

    Yes a Serious Lack of Talent indeed

    As pv4 said... All of the above.
    We've had "open days" in the past and the same 12 blokes turn up.
    Man power is the biggest issue.

    And by man power, we mean "man" or "women" power, just not annoying lazy teenagers who can't be trusted to keep their mouths shut.

    That's a good turn out. Most of the time it is more like 2 blokes

    well in to the TRC who actually showed up last season and helped out with tifo planning, manufacture and deployment. They were the only ones who showed an interest. Hence why they are now involved with ongoing tifo stuff.

    I opened this thread so we could eventually see who showed an interest and/or talent for this kind of thing so maybe down the line we could have more people who could be trusted with larger projects. Time will tell.

    Now as I said before I suffer from LOFT

    Lack
    Of
    Fucking
    Talent

    So putting me anywhere near it will create any issues. Willing to assist but safe to say I am a walking disaster zone with this type of activity and would be more of a hinderance.

    The Member feels the desire to contribute though but in ways other than painting sewing.


    Are you willing to take donations of anything to assist?? If so what is required coz that I can do!!

    Or is there any other way i could be of assistance??
