Abstract
A portable, erasable sign for use in sporting events and public gatherings. The sign is self-supporting, but flexible enough to be carried and stored in a compact manner. The portable, erasable sign may include openings to facilitate holding of the sign. In certain embodiments, the sign may be rolled up when it is not being displayed. A strap, for example a Velcro strap, or an elastic band may be used to secure the sign in the rolled up position. The surface of the sign is such that any message printed thereon can be erased and replaced with a new message. In particular embodiments, the portable, erasable sign may be imprinted with the insignia for an organization, or a professional or university sports franchise.
