banner years

Exceptionally successful periods

Banner years are periods of exceptional success or achievement, times when results far exceed the norm.

The phrase comes from banners displayed to celebrate victories or mark special occasions.

A company might report banner years for profits; a farmer might have banner years for crop yields.

2019 was a banner year for the franchise.
