I’m also curious if there are size restrictions for signs? In my area it’s common to restrict signs to the size of a sheet of paper.

That might be a rule. I know I’ve seen people waving flags, but I don’t remember seeing a lot of signs. Maybe?

But it wouldn’t have mattered if someone had written the word Taiwan on a postcard; if they were holding it up during the games, it would have been confiscated.

It’s neither it appears to be a soccer style scarf, I’m not sure of any clothes that are banned unless they show something independently unlawful.

No, I was in the arena (not in this session but in others) and the size was definitely not a problem. There were people with bedsheets that they wrote stuff on without anyone confiscating them.
