Effective Tips For A Football Run Through Banner

By Nita McKinney


Before a major football event begins, particularly in some college and high school competitions, it is habitual for a certain team to have a football run through upon entering the field. It is usually the responsibility of cheerleaders and mascots to hold it on both sides while the team is running through it. This is an act to intimidate or surprise the opponent and mostly, the design for it is an important symbol for them.

The name of the team or their mascot is usually drawn into a banner. It would serve as a substance to show the real team. Every member could sign it to put some additional effects. It will usually designate a particular level of pride and in an easy way, it will declare who you are as a whole team.

An interesting and brilliant idea to be drawn in it would be the brick walls. It would represent a sense of conviction and strength that is crucial for all members to win a certain game. Drawing a couple of blocks may seem so repetitive, but if you put some more details into some dimensions of the block, it will heighten the efficiency and quality of creativity among the crowd.

A motto or a quote can be used to attribute a specific sport in general. Choose a quote which may indicate your name. Choose the motto that would have an effect on the energy of the crowd. Also, consider drawing all the letters in alternating colors of 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 selecting the paper to be used, it would be better to purchase many. This would be used to perform test run to ensure that it could tear easily. If the paper fails to tear, or the poles will fall in the path as the players run through, there would be bigger possibility of incurring injuries.

Place it across a certain opening where a team would pass. Excellent places will be at the gates or at the entrance of the field where the game would be held. Hold it firmly to prevent the poles from being pulled towards the paper as it tears.

Long strips of tape must be avoided in making football run through banners. It will only block the athletes from entering over it. Place some flaps and slits so that the wind can blow in it and so that it would not look like a parachute when you start to display it in a windy area.
