Have a quote for a 5m x 3m flag from Flags123, and they said they should be able to get it done by Saturday, and @Graphicbomb have kindly said they'd design it.
Any ideas on what text we could add?
My first thought was "Oh, Tommy, Tommy..." at the top, and maybe "Love from us all"
Someone on the earlier post mentioned thanking AFCB too, which is a nice idea, but wonder how that could fit.
Honestly, anyone has any thoughts, add them below...
I'll start a gofundme or suchlike, so it will only take 25 people chipping in a tenner to get it sorted. Any extra donations and I can donate to a charity that everyone agrees on?

It's superb you've stepped up for this.
My advice, for what it's worth, ignore a few of the posts below. It's 'Tommy' to the vast majority of us. You've gone for it, put what words you think are right and I'm sure we'll all agree on your choice. Don't over think it bud.
Set up a go fund page or something similar. I'm sure admin will pin it at the top of the page.

Avoid any reference to ‘Tommy’ on any flag at Kenilworth Road please…

I don’t think anyone is going to be under any assumption that it’s to do with anyone but our captain.

From what I gather his family call him Tom, not Tommy. So,
Tom Lockyer. O Captain! My Captain! Luton Legend # 4 Harford, Preece, Hill, Lockyer.

Tom Lockyer Captain, leader, hero! One love (or something similar).
Think the flag should be for Tom only, despite the enormous and grateful help from the medics of both clubs.
Will happily contribute.

+1 on contributing.
Maybe any excess collected could be given to local Bournemouth air ambulance or similar?

I wondered if the outline of a shirt could be designed with his name and number. That makes it perfectly clear what the sentiment is. Then, as others have suggested something like; "Get well soon. From your Luton family and friends at AFCB" or similar.
But as deeuu has suggested it's your idea so whatever you decide I'm sure will be received with gratitude.

Don’t worry about the design, graphic bomb will come up with something

My thoughts are it could do with being bigger. 5m x 3m sounds big, but in reality in a stadium is small. I would suggest going 10x 6
The funds will come in no problem whatsoever.
Just my opinion.

I think you're right about sizing.
Re: Flag update
Posted by Snapper on 17/12/2023, 17:44:18, in reply to "Re: Flag update"
I was thinking the same about the size, but maybe they can only make one that big before Saturday 🤷♂️

Quite possibly.

I can check about this, just thinking also about how practical a huge flag in the ground would be?
Re: Flag update
Posted by deeuu on 17/12/2023, 18:03:22, in reply to "Re: Flag update"
Don’t know much about flags, and think you may well have been quoted the largest size. It may well bigger becomes more of a crowd surfer. Much like the outlaws one at Maine Road.
At the end of the day, you’ve stepped up to organise, go with what is possible, as it will be well received.

Your idea, so go with the 'Tommy Tommy suggestion (which is a great idea btw). You could then add 'love from your Luton family and friends at AFCB'.
Re: Flag update
Posted by RADSB on 17/12/2023, 17:38:24, in reply to "Re: Flag update"
My view is to keepit simple - “Oh Tommy Tommy”
No need for “love…etc.”which is a given.
