Some 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 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.

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 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.

While making it, know all the essential details that would be written and drawn including the wordings, graphics, logo and motto. A regular sized banner would usually be three meters in its width and about two meters for its height. A larger space would also be needed in creating it. Make sure that you choose the exact width that would accommodate the entry of all the players at once.

Choose a paper that allows paint or markers. Make sure that could tear off easily so that it will not hinder the players who are passing through. Use poles on both ends so that it will be easier to hold it. PVC, wood and other heavy cardboard tubes are highly recommended and attach it with the use of a heavy masking tape. PVC is often preferred by many people due to its durability, lightweight and can be easily cleaned.

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.

Stretch it across an opening where the team will pass. The good places would be a gate or the entrance of the place where the game will be held. It should be held firmly to prevent its poles from being pulled inwards as the paper tears.

Avoid using a long strips of tape in the width of the football run through banner. It may block the players and they could not go over it. Leave some slit and flaps so that wind can easily blow to it or else, it would only look the same as a parachute as you unroll it in a windy field.
