Bright Banners, Bold Suns: AFL Spirit Soars in the Territory

When footy fever hits the Top End, you want to make it loud, local, and unmissable. That’s exactly what Evan Evans delivered for NT Major Events in support of the Gold Coast Suns’ return to Darwin. Lining the streets with brilliant red banners, the message was clear: The Territory Suns Are Back.

A Fast-Tracked Fabric Triumph

This was no ordinary job. After being initially cancelled, the project came roaring back to life—requiring full production, print, and delivery in just four working days. Our team rose to the challenge, executing a tight turnaround that saw vibrant 135gsm trilobal fabric banners proudly installed for two major AFL matches.

These banners weren’t just striking—they were Australian made, sewn in-house right here in Coburg North, Victoria, with hemmed edges, top and bottom sleeves, and ink saturation that delivered bleed-through to the rear. High-quality and high-impact, all designed to stand tall under the Darwin sun.

Relationships That Stand Tall

Sales Manager Rene Watson led the charge, working closely with NT Major Events to ensure every detail was right. Using a trusted in-house template, we made sure the client’s artwork avoided key seams and sewing areas—keeping the visuals sharp and clear from every angle.

“I’ve worked with NT Major Events for over 10 years now. The relationship is strong, and it’s always a pleasure to help bring their projects to life—happily and enthusiastically.”
– Rene Watson, Sales Manager

And the client was just as enthusiastic:

“A massive thank you for turning the job around so quickly, especially after it was initially cancelled.”
– NT Major Events
