Oh, so here is an idea. Let's split soccer into two competitions. One with only catching balls, and in the other players can just steal the ball among themselves. I think that is a brilliant idea, because not everyone can score a goal so it's unnecessary to have all those players in one team. Oh wait, we could have two different teams at once and split the field. That would spare some costs! I honestly don't know how there could be so many ignorant people on Earth. And ISU is full of them.

There is one thing though... Yuzuru as a coach. And I haven't been able to figure out what would I do in such case. I mean, sure, ISU is going nuts right now and figure skating is changing into figure judging, but I am afraid, if Yuzu becomes a coach, I won't be able to not watch his little students.

I love this color scheme. It looks refined and the red stickers are coming through nicely. An idea for the stickers: what about cloth hearts? The fabric would be foldable and it would probably last quite long. However, it would need to be pinned somehow, gluing it wouldn't be much effective. The simplest option is probably the classic sewing pin, but it would be hard to handle after competition and we probably don't want to bleed for Yuzu litterally. Then there are various brooch pins, the best option is this one I think: It would thake the smallest amount of space when placed. But the map banner would have to be accessible from all sides and not too high for people to be able to pin this on. So that makes it more difficult to use. But this type would probably last the longest. We should certainly consider other options as well, but this could be the most reusable option. Edit: But of course, if needed, the hearts CAN be glued on. It would become a mess though. I can picture the banner all sticky from the glue and if not dry enough, it would stick all together after competition. And as there are many many fans, the cloth would probably be quite soaked. Oh, and the hearts could have a black border to make them visible when placed close to each other.

My prediction for next season: Yuzuru will be jumping the majestic 4A for the 4T amount of points. In the meantime, any girl with the right flag will have a 3Lz for 4Lz points....

This is hilarious!

A bit OT, but not so much. This thread is funny! ISU made a big mistake with this post. Beware ISU, now skating fans are coming! Like, really what are they thinking, asking this stupid questions at this time? I am not a big fan of stating my own opinion on sns, but I am probably going to spend my first likes and comments on this thread... ISU neads new glasses, like yesterday.

I am still not over ToshI and his fangirling!

I love this! The black an white border is great and it will probably suit most of the flags. Also, I wanted to know how our flag will look, so I've done Poland and Slovakia as well. But I don't have the source images, so this is only a quick paste, to have some visuals:

Ummm... okay, I am really sorry, but I can't help it. I have to bring the mainstream comparison. Yuzu really does look like a vampire prince here. Oh, no, actually THE only vampire prince.

It IS captivating. I've watched this like "how-many-times?" on the loop. There is this meaningful gracefulness and elegance that radiates from every move as soon as he put the skates on... It can't be described with words, but you know immediately he is something else. No other skater I've seen had this. Not even the women, except maybe Shizuka Arakawa. (Is it really the Sendai air doing this? How is it possible for two so ethereal people to be born there?) And don't worry, I am here, melting, with all of you.

You are right! Anyway....

Try The Czech Republic... I know, we have a short version (Czechia), but I refuse to use it, because for me personally it sounds rude. So I think I can beat Philippines.

Maybe it's just me, but for me this is the most LGC-like non-LGC costume he's ever had... It looks like LGC's little cousin.

Wow, did the Earth rotate the wrong direction, or travel to a weird unknown dimension?

No, I didn't mean he did not research that enough. I meant he did not hold the position in that actual skate. So when he released the arrow, he was not holding the bow anymore. That's all I was saying. No criticism in that. I adore that move.

Talking about his violin hands, did anyone else notice his bow-shooting move? I think it is new as well. It is not held very long, therefore it won't be so accurate, but imo it was kind of cute.

I am only amazed, someone dares to argue with Max.

ISU: "Quickly, let him jump that damn 4A, so he can retire!" Q.: "Will you stop after you jump the 4A?" Yuzu: "Ah, I don't know, maybe I'll go after the 4F..." ISU: Oh boy, I love this challange!

I like the original design. We can make the heart border thicker if necessary, but that's it. I don't care if it is not much visible from afar, because we are not aiming to show it to space satellites, but to Yuzu and the cameras in the arena. Recognizing the flag, again, is not important. Important is to see "hey, they have MANY different colored flags! and this one is different too!". If someone really wants to know, he can search for it. It is not impossible. I grew up searching for flags in the book atlas, no google available. If you want to know, you will find a way to find out. If we put country names there, it is a nice touch, but with longer names (and I mean longer than probably 5 characters), it starts looking like a licence plate and it is really difficult to get the main info out of it. WE YUZU is the best one, because it can convey the most important thing in an easy-to-read way. I don't think visibility is a problem.

In my opinion, many people are supporting only Yuzuru anyway. He is the one drawing in people that would not care a bit about figure skating otherwise. So if someone does say we are supporting only Yuzu, it would be the truth mostly. There is no reason to hide that fact. We can express our support to other skaters and we should certainly respect them and try not to disturb their competition. But I think we are doing quite well in this area. If people try to say something because our Yuzu banners, that's their problem and I don't see how it could "backfire" on us. The second Yuzu is not skating anymore, no one is going to see my banner anywhere, so I don't mind being called a Yuzu-centered fan.

They will do that anyway for some different reason. So why bother with that.

Okay, but showing banner made only for Yuzu and cheering for him doesn't ban anyone from expressing their support for other skaters too. Just not with this banner. Unless you leave the ice rink when Yuzu is done with his skate you can cheer for the others as much as you want and I am certainly going to do that (I mean the cheering. Not the leaving ). But it would be nice to have this gesture made especially for Yuzu as it was originally meant to be.

I agree with @yuzuangel. There should definitely be a big YUZU stated somewhere. I know many other skaters have our support, but the main idea is to clearly state that Yuzuru is the star not only in Japan, but worldwide, isn't it?

I know, and I am not going only to Torino, so there is still time for me. Just wanted to express my support for the idea.

I love this design! It would be great if everyone could get his own banner, even outside of PH. As for printing, I couldn't find anything cheap around here, but I am able to invest and have my own banner printed, if group printing would be too complicated.
