subject: College Logo Area Rugs [print this page] The United States is in the middle of "March Madness", the annual NCAA tournament that selects the Men and Women's collegiate National Champions in the sport of basketball. Fans of collegiate sports in all parts of the country are always completely devoted to their particular alma mater or team of choice. Untold millions of dollars are spent on game tickets, travel expenses (gas, food, lodging, airline tickets, etc.), parking, and souvenirs. At no time of the year are college sports fans more dedicated and committed to their team than during the basketball tournament time called "March Madness." You only have to watch a few games of the tournament to see the enthusiasm, the attire and "body art", and the overall involvement of the fans that attend the Regional and Final Four games.
Team loyalty greatly benefits the souvenir industry. With fans willing to buy anything and everything to support their favored teams, there are never enough T-shirts, caps, mugs, area rugs, towels, pens and other things displaying a school's color, team's logo or a player's name.
Floor coverings have not escaped the attention of the providers of fan merchandise. What better way to show visitors to your home or office where your team loyalties lie than to have a team logo area rug greet them as they enter? And this is an item that is utilized all year, not just during a specific sports season.
Area rugs made as souvenirs are eye-catching products with bright colors and big designs. The logo, name and colors of the college teams are reflected on the area rugs.
The makers of college logo area rugs customized the designs according to the major college teams. Top ranking schools in the sport's standing also get much exposure for having a lot of designs and more stock on hand. The sizes of area rugs usually range from 4' x 6' to 5' x 8'.
Souvenir items are sold in sport's venues, sporting goods store and the team's own souvenir booth or shop. However, area rugs may not be as widely available as the other souvenir items. They are obtainable in many Internet sources such as online stores, direct suppliers or collectors selling their goods online.
Area rugs as souvenirs are real prized possessions for die-hard fans. It's hard to miss out on these decorative items.
