Three sheets, each containing 21 flags were given away with The Skipper in 1934, along with an album to keep the collection in. The flags had to be cut out, folded in half with a pin placed down the centre before the two halves were stick together. Each flag had a player on the front and jersey in the club colours on the back, as shown by the examples above, not to scale. Thanks to Roger Pashby for the scan of the album cover. You can check out the Huddersfield Town flag in this collection on Roger's website, 1908 Huddersfield Town Cards & Stickers 2013.
