Bet you get a lot of ideas - here is another one
Here is an idea that might be useful for some of our 3D print enthusiasts. [I'll wager all your friends have some too...] :ha:
Flag mounts are available for full size flags, but few available for the smaller 12x18 inch flags. I've found aluminum brackets that hold 3 of these, and relatively cheap (5--6 bucks).
Unfortunately, they must be mounted with screws. This is something the county disapproves of on our light poles.

With a similar device, shown below, individual flags could be mounted using oversize "Jubilee" clips - aka hose clamps. They could be mounted to light poles, mailbox supports, trailer hitch, etc,. Several could also be mounted in combination if desired. The material should be UV stable. To secure the stick in place, a cotter pin would be inserted into a small hole drilled (after printing) through the mount and stick. This action would be performed by the individual consumer. The ID of the tube should accommodate the nominal 3/8 inch diameter poles (sticks) of these flags.

No FEA has been accomplished, just shade tree engineering and TLAR (That Looks About Right).
Gussets may be required or perhaps fillet the tube to the plate. Suggest some prototype testing might be in order. I'd be happy to participate.
My quick CAD file is available as a step/stl/etc if needed.

BTW - I'd take quite a few at the right price point. My neighborhood has 13 poles just "begging" for a flag.
Nice - very nice shown lighted
Glad I didn't spend that spare money Granpa gave me on Neon School!
