I started in 1957. We used red flags but no horns. I remember the horns from high school days, though. Back to the red flags. I had a lady who worked with me who was a seamstress. She made a red flag for me out of silk cloth. Pretty neat, but she wasn't done. She put a white lace border around it and told me she would be highly disappointed if I didn't use it. The biggest game of the season for a local high school was their Shrine game complete with the Shriner's clown corps. I carried my silk/lace bordered flag concealed in my pocket. During a time-out one of the clowns was doing his thing behind me on the sideline. I tossed my pretty flag at his feet. Got a big laugh.
(Note to purists- we can still have a little fun at the right opportunity)
I still have the flag along with a couple red and white flags.
