TL;DR: Sundays Are For NFL flags apply the bold typographic format of the Saturdays Are For series to NFL franchises, with each flag printed in the team's actual colors. Built from weather-resistant polyester for outdoor display, they work for front yards, porches, and tailgate setups and make a clear statement about which team owns your Sundays from September through the Super Bowl.
NFL Sundays have a structure that college football Saturdays do not. The games are on a fixed schedule, the stakes are higher week to week, and the fan investment is often more intense precisely because there are fewer games to lose. A Sundays Are For NFL flag is built for that level of commitment: a bold, readable declaration in your team's colors that goes up at the start of the season and comes down when the last game is played.

If you follow college football on Saturdays as well, see the College Football Flags collection for the same series applied to NCAA programs.

What Makes These Different from Standard NFL Fan Gear
Standard NFL fan merchandise leads with the logo: the helmet, the wordmark, the mascot. The Sundays Are For series leads with the statement. "SUNDAYS ARE FOR" runs across the top in bold stacked lettering, with the team name below in the franchise's actual colors. The flag communicates team identity and personal commitment at the same time, which is something a jersey or a hat cannot do on its own.
| Standard NFL Fan Gear | Sundays Are For NFL Flag |
|---|---|
| Logo or wordmark as primary element | Bold typographic statement as primary element |
| Worn or used by one person at a time | Visible to the entire neighborhood simultaneously |
| Familiar format shared across all licensed merchandise | Distinctive series format that stands out from standard fan gear |
| Focuses on team identity alone | Combines team identity with a declaration of Sunday priorities |
The typographic format also solves a practical problem: it is readable at distance without requiring logo recognition. A Chiefs flag in red and gold that reads "SUNDAYS ARE FOR THE CHIEFS" communicates clearly to everyone on the block, not just the fans who can identify the arrowhead from fifty feet away. That matters when the flag is flying from a porch or marking a tailgate spot in a crowded parking lot.
The Design: Franchise Colors in the Series Format
Each flag is printed in the franchise's actual colors. A Steelers flag is in black and gold. A Bills flag is in Bills blue and red. A Lions flag is in Honolulu blue and silver. The team colors do the identification work; the typographic format provides the personality and the cultural reference that NFL fans will recognize immediately.
Unlike the lifestyle Saturdays Are For flags, which use a consistent series palette across all designs, the NFL flags are each unique in color because the franchise colors are the point. A fan browsing the collection will find their team's flag immediately recognizable before reading a single word, because the color combination is already associated with the franchise in their memory.
The bold, high-contrast lettering ensures the flag reads clearly even when the fabric is moving in the wind, which is the real test of any outdoor flag design. A flag that looks sharp in a product photo but becomes unreadable when it ripples in a breeze is not doing its job. The Sundays Are For format is built specifically to hold its message at distance and in motion.
Where and How to Display Them
These flags are made from weather-resistant polyester with UV-resistant inks, built to hold franchise colors through a full outdoor season. Available from garden flags to full-size flags, the right choice depends on the display location and how far away the flag needs to be readable.
Front yard and porch. A full-size flag on a porch bracket or flagpole is the standard residential setup for NFL season. Flying it from Week 1 through the playoffs is a low-effort way to keep the exterior game-ready all season without redecorating every week. In neighborhoods where multiple households follow different teams, a flag is also the clearest possible signal about where the loyalties lie before anyone knocks on the door.
Tailgate setup. NFL tailgates are competitive environments where standing out matters. A flag on a portable pole or attached to a tent frame is visible from across the parking lot in a way that team-colored chairs and coolers are not. It marks the spot, identifies the crew, and draws in fans of the same franchise who are navigating a crowded lot looking for their people. For more on building a flag-forward tailgate setup, see our guide on how to tailgate with flags.
Game watch parties and man caves. For fans who watch at home, a flag on the porch or in a window signals to the neighborhood that the game is on and the household is committed. Inside, a flag mounted on a wall or displayed in a dedicated watch party space adds to the atmosphere in a way that a framed jersey or a team poster does not, because it is the same object that flies outside on game day rather than something designed purely for indoor display.

Gifting a Sundays Are For NFL Flag
The NFL fan who already has a jersey, a hat, a team-colored phone case, and a dedicated watch party setup is a difficult person to buy for. A Sundays Are For flag works as a gift for that person because it is specific enough to feel intentional and practical enough to actually get used, and it is something most fans do not already own.
It works for birthdays that fall during the season, the start of a new season as a preseason gift, a housewarming for a fan who just moved into a place with a yard or a porch, or a playoff push gift for the fan whose team is finally making a run. Standard turnaround is 10 to 15 days, with express production available in 5 to 9 days for time-sensitive occasions like a season opener or a playoff game that cannot wait.
For fans of rival franchises, the flag also works as a pointed gift in the other direction. A Patriots flag sent to a Bills household, or a Steelers flag delivered to a Ravens fan, makes the rivalry statement clearly without requiring any explanation. The format does the talking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the NFL flags printed in actual franchise colors?
Yes. Each flag is printed in the franchise's official colors. The team colors are the primary visual identifier, so a Chiefs flag is in red and gold, a Bills flag is in blue and red, and a Steelers flag is in black and gold.
Is my NFL team available in the series?
The collection covers franchises from all four AFC divisions and NFC programs. Browse the full NFL flags collection to check availability for your team. If your franchise is not currently in the series, a custom flag in the Sundays Are For format can be ordered with any team name.
What is the difference between the NFL flags and the college football flags in the same series?
The NFL flags say "SUNDAYS ARE FOR" while the college football flags say "SATURDAYS ARE FOR," reflecting the actual game day for each league. Both use the same typographic format and are printed in the respective team's colors, but they are sold in separate collections and designed for different fan contexts.
How long will the flag hold its colors through an NFL season?
Polyester flags with UV-resistant inks hold color well through a full outdoor season. Bringing the flag in during severe weather and storing it properly during the off-season extends the lifespan, and most fans get multiple seasons of use from a single flag with basic care.
Can I display an NFL flag alongside an American flag?
Yes. Proper flag etiquette places the American flag in the position of honor, typically on its own pole or at the top of a shared pole. An NFL flag on a separate pole or bracket alongside an American flag is a standard and appropriate residential setup during football season.
