“We are constantly making championship banners for teams across the country,” said President Ned Flynn. “Every time we make a banner for a Boston team like the Celtics in 2008, the Bruins in 2011 and now the World Series Champion Red Sox, the project takes on a heightened level of excitement for us. We are proud to contribute, in our small way, to the clubs celebrating their accomplishment. Having a chance to attend the raising of one of our banners is a very moving experience.”
