ABC Sports Boxing Kangaroo flag




ABC Sports 3 x 5 Australia Boxing Kangaroo flag features a golden kangaroo with red boxing gloves, gold southern cross constellation and the word "Australia" on a traditional dark green background. The Australian Boxing Kangaroo flag is manufactured to strict quality control standards by utilising a fully-proven imprint service combined with the best quality fabrics available to ensure that our Boxing Kangaroo flags are of premium quality in their range and are made to last.

The Boxing Kangaroo flag measures approximately 900mm wide x 1500mm long, 3 foot x 5 foot in the old imperial measurement, has reinforced white hanging spline with dual brass grommets for attaching to a flag pole, hanging on a games room wall, or other structure.

The 3 x 5 Australia Boxing Kangaroo flag features triple stitched edging and is made from a durable lightweight polyester material making it perfect for either indoor games room wall display or outdoor use. The lightweight polyester used to make the Boxing Kangaroo flag allows the flag to sway, wave, flap and flutter in even the slightest of breeze.

About the Australia Boxing Kangaroo flag.
The Australian Boxing Kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia, frequently seen in popular sport and recreation culture. The symbol is often displayed prominently by Australian spectators at sporting events, such as at cricket, tennis, football matches, Commonwealth and Olympic Games events.

In 1983 the boxing kangaroo received national and international prominence when it served as the symbol for the successful Australian challenge for the America's Cup, where the boxing kangaroo flag, a red-gloved golden kangaroo on a green background, was flown from the America's Cup race winning yacht "Australia II".

Alan Bond (owner of the Australia II yacht) owned the Boxing Kangaroo image and licensed it for mass commercial production. The image was later bought by the Australian Olympic Committee, and is used as a mascot to represent the Australian Olympic team and to promote sport and fair play in schools and is often accompanied by the chanting of "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" by Australian sports fans worldwide!
