Some Tips For A Football Run Through Banner

By Nita McKinney


Before a certain football game begins, especially in various college or high school events, it is usual for a particular team to make a football run through while entering the arena. It is often the responsibility of the cheerleaders and their mascots to hold it on both ends while the whole team is running their way through it. This is often an act that is done to intimidate and surprise the opponents and particularly, it brings along a certain design that is essential for them.

The team name or the mascot is often the drawing that is found in a banner. It will serve as the substance to display the actual team. Each member may sign it to have additional effects in it. It denotes a certain level of pride and in the simplest way, it would proclaim who you are as a team.

Brick walls may be an interesting and great idea to be drawn in it. It designate a particular level of strength or conviction that is essential for every member in order to win a game. Drawing a few dozens of bricks might seem so redundant, but if you only add some details into the dimensions of each block, it will increase the quality and efficiency of the creativity of the crowd.

A quote or a motto can also be written to represent a certain field or sport in general. Pick a quote that will represent your name. Choose the one that can have an impact on the audience. In light to this, you might also consider using various fonts for all the letters that would have every color that would represent your team.

Upon making such, determine all the necessary details that would be placed which includes the logo, wordings and graphics. The regular size for it would have three meters width and two meters in height. Thus, you would require a bigger space in making it. Remember that it must have the right width to let several players to go through it at once.

Always pick a paper that allows you to use markers and paint. Check whether it would tear off well so that it would not block the athletes that are passing through it. Use two poles and place it in each end so that you could have something to grip in stretching it. Heavy cardboard tubes, PVC and wood are advised and attach it carefully by using heavy duty masking tapes. PVC is widely used by some people because it can be cleaned easily, durable and has a light weight.

In picking the paper that you will be using, make sure to buy many as you can. This will be used in conducting a couple of test runs to ensure that it would tear off properly. If the paper will fail to tear, or maybe the poles may fall into the way of the athletes as they run, it might cause some injuries.

Put it a particular opening where a team will pass. The entry of the arena or some other gates would be an excellent location in putting up these banners. Hold it tightly so as to stop the poles from going towards the paper as it slowly tears.

Do not use a long strip of tape along the width of your football run through banner because players might not be able to go into it. Also, leave some slits or flaps where wind can blow onto it or else, it will look like a parachute when you unfurl it on a windy ground.
