A kit for mounting a banner or flag on any pole. The kit includes one or more horizontal arms (placed at the top, and optionally the bottom of the banner) to ensure that the banner is visible even in windless conditions. These arms are joined by a vertical strut. L-brackets maintain the horizontal arms perpendicular to the vertical strut. The banner may be fastened to the vertical strut by like means. The L-brackets contain fixtures to fasten to grommets at the corners of the banner, to maintain the banner in a taut configuration, and further to fasten universally adaptable hoops, which hoops encircle the pole. The banner frame is permitted to rotate about the vertical axis of the pole on the hoops. A flexible rubberized shock cord is attached at its upper end to the pole by a band clamp or the like, and extends down to the upper L-bracket. As the banner frame rotates, the shock cord is wound around the pole. The length of the cord is selected so that 1.5 to 2 complete revolutions are possible. When the wind dies, the elasticity of the shock cord returns the banner frame to the original position. In the unlikely event that the wind "follows" the banner forcing it through the permitted 1.5 to 2 revolutions, the shock cord is designed to snap before dangerous wind loads are applied to the pole.
