Local University Criticized for Misuse of School Flag

Online, January 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Flags have always been considered a testament and a symbol for the organizations, groups and countries they represent. And though most groups spend countless hours putting passion and care into the design of their flags, it seems that the flagpoles that hold them aren't given the same care and attention.

A local university that wishes to remain unnamed, has recently taken heat from the local community as its flag was spotted raised incorrectly due to a malfunctioning flagpole. Unlike the usual advertising flags and sports flags that are usually raised along the outskirts of the university, the school's prestigious school flag was inadvertently raised incorrectly due to a severe lack of quality in their newly installed campus flagpoles. Ironically, university officials state, these flagpoles were designed to properly hoist their very much revered school flags, and to set them apart from the usual advertising flags and sports flags. Instead, what was thought to begin in triumph ended in tragedy. As the school's many advertising flags and sports flags blew along the outskirts of the campus, their own school flag lay tattered on the ground.

Community officials recognize that flagpoles of any sort, whether they are designed to hold advertising flags, sports flags, national flags or university flags, should be tested and sturdy enough to make sure that they act and function properly. University officials have tried contacting the original supplier of their flag poles only to be returned with vague assurances of refunds and reinstallations.

University officials have admitted that they had originally turned down an offer made by flag and flagpole making company Vista Flags and Telepole, who have been known for their quality advertising flags and sports flags.

Vista Flags and Telepole is a flag manufacturing company based in San Dimas in the heart of California. Specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of high quality advertising flags, feather and swooper flags, fiberglass flagpoles, RV flag pole, college flags, NFL flag, and sports flags. Vista Flags and Telepole ensures that its products are one hundred percent equipped to hand the various elements that flags and flagpoles are designed to endure.

Vista Flags and Telepole, which has been more than willing to offer its advertising flags, sports flags, school flags and flagpole manufacturing services to the local university, is in talk with them to finally install high quality flagpoles in an effort to prevent the incident from happening again in the future.
