figured I'd show off what I did yesterday..the 2015 banner came yesterday, put it up in the home office with all the others. When they win #6 I'm seriously going to have to re-organize my office walls lol..

BTW, my only beef is the first 3 even in a 10 year span, they kept the styling of the banners basically the same..these last 2 they changed up some, I didn't mind the 2010, really just the shade of Duke blue had changed but this new one has black binding on it, looks ok in person but as you can see, it would have benefited IMO from white binding like the others..
 
Awesome wall. In my basement I have the SI commemorative cover for each championship framed and hung around a big Duke flag. The fifth title really ruined the symmetry of the set-up, but that is a problem I will happily have!

I have the same banners (minus the 2015 for now) and the same problem. The OCD in me can't stand that 2010 and 2015 don't match the first three.

Tell ya what, FTB...let's just win that 6th one and match it up right nicely. That should take care of that OCD!:D

where do you guys get the banners? I'm redoing my man cave, painting Cameron's floor on one wall and want to hang the championship banners on another wall, any help would be great.

Catcher, I don't have any of the banners (other stuff...just not that), so I can't really help you.
Goduke.com's store has a bunch of Duke stuff, but I'm not sure if they have banners.
There are banners available at many online stores...but I'm not sure if they're 'official' Duke championship banners.

Hey guys...someone hook Catcher up with some banner info.

I have a banner in my Duke room that I got years ago but it just has the scores to the 91,92 and 01 championship on it. I would love to have those as well.
 
Thanks! You know I had to represent! Decided to go with something simple and to the point. I actually made it myself because I couldn't find a blue 5.

Okay, it's not enough that I'm old and slipping, but now I've got Neners moving in on my photoshop territory!:D:D
But seriously, great job...I love it.

I bought mine in person from a store on Duke's campus ~2004 (first three that all match). I went back in 2012 and got the 2010 banner, but it was different like was posted in the OP.

Sacrifices must be made. If it means we need a 6th title, then, by god, we need a 6th title.

:D:D:DOh man, those are the type of sacrifices I can get behind!

And speaking of sacrifices...we need a laughing smiley, or a rollin' one...something.
I love the new format, but the emoticons suck imo. I'm stuck with using those green azz grinners.

I agree Mr. Dirt, I have wanted to use it several times to express my laughing nature and to poke fun at the Tar Holes. It just isn't the same.

:(

Agreed. They really scaled back the emoticon selection with the new format.

Goduke.com, from the store. I actually don't know where you'd find the previous 4. I got the first 2 in the late 90's, then the last 3 I got right after they won the titles, from the Goduke store..
 
BTW, in my office on the other walls I also have I think 5 SI covers framed, the championship ones, I have at least 4-5 others going back to 78 I want to frame eventually. I have a piece of the Cameron floor, a poster from the 2006 team that Redick autographed (my friend worked with his sister), an autographed photo of Coach K my boss bought me, a 2001 Durham Herald with their championship on it that my friend who was a Lobbyist in Raleigh got Coach K, Battier, Sanders and Duhon autographed (with his ball-point pen so they really don't stand out much) and then a few other items on the shelves. A lot of the stuff I have on the book shelf ironically was bought for me at Christmas each year by my then boss who was a UNC grad lol.

Oh, and waiting to be framed is a Duke jersey worn by Miles at the ACC Barnstorming tour after his senior year, I turned 40 that year so my brother who teaches at the school they played at got him to autograph it "Happy 40th Birthday Greg! Miles Plumlee" on the front.

I'm lucky even though my wife shares the home office with me I turned her into a Duke fan after we met and she allows me to cover that room in Duke stuff and doesn't complain lol..
