What are digital championship banners?
Digital championship banners show a school’s conference, district, regional and state titles as banners on a screen, by sport and year, usually in a gym entrance or under the real banners. With HistoryShowcase, the Pennant layout gives every title the same banner, and each one opens to the team photo, roster, coach and story of the season.

There’s no room left in the rafters
Championship banners are the most visible record a school keeps, and the first to run out of space. The gym walls fill, newer titles get squeezed onto one combined banner with a list of years, and sports that compete off campus, like golf, tennis or bowling, may never get a banner at all. Faded banners come down during a renovation and don’t always go back up.
Digital championship banners give every title the same treatment. The Pennant layout shows each championship as a banner on the screen, by sport and year, and every banner opens to the team photo, the roster, the coach and the story of the season. Add a banner the week a team wins, and photograph the faded cloth originals before they come down so they stay part of the record.
How do digital championship banners compare with cloth gym banners?
| What matters | Cloth gym banners | HistoryShowcase |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility from across the gym | Large and easy to read from the bleachers | Read up close at the screen |
| Wall and rafter space | Runs out as titles add up | A banner for every title on one screen |
| Off-campus sports | Golf or tennis may never get one | Same banner as every other title |
| What a banner tells you | Sport, level and year | Team photo, roster, coach and season story |
| Faded or retired banners | Stored or discarded after a renovation | Photographed and kept with the title |

Add a banner per title
Type each championship in, import a spreadsheet of titles, or upload a list and review what Smart Add suggests.
Raise them on senior night
Preview the banners privately, then publish in time for senior night or a big home game, when the whole community is in the gym.

Championship banner questions
Should we take down our real banners?
No need. Keep the banners you have, and use the screen for titles that never got one, combined banners and the stories behind them. If banners come down during a renovation, photograph them first.
How do we show shared championships?
Add the title as its own banner and note that it was shared in the subtitle or biography. You decide how your school records it.
Can individual state champions have banners too?
Yes. Add them to the state champions collection alongside team titles, or give them their own collection with a Pennant or Portrait gallery layout.
How quickly can we add a new title?
As soon as the team wins. Add the banner, the team photo and the roster, preview it on the touchscreen and publish it when it’s ready.
