Help your team with clever signs that will get the crowd involved.
Excite the fans! Inspire the team! Sayings for good school spirit signs should do both. Effective spirit signs shouldn't take much time or money to make. So go for it!!! You can do it!!!
Instructions
1. Use sayings that are quick and to the point. Wordy signs will lose people. Alliteration (where words starting with the same letters are close to each other) helps make sayings more fun and catchy--"Stop the Stallions!," "Whip the Wildcats!" or "Raiders Rock!!!" are all examples of alliteration.
2. Utilize both the mascot and the school name in your signs. For example, if you are playing a school named Stone Hill Hawks, you can do "Stop Stone Hill!" or "Pluck the Hawks!" If your school is the Great Bridge Bulldogs, you can try "This Bridge Will Never Break" or "There's no Bull in these Dogs!"
3. Think funny. "Beat Chantilly... Again," is a funny way of saying you've already won against this opponent. Play on the image of the school name or mascot. For the Pirates, use a saying like "Seize the Booty!" Utilize shapes or pictures to emphasize a play on words. For example, use a paw shape for your sign if it says, "Stomp Centreville" to emphasize the stomping action.
4. Use numbers. For a team that is about to win a state, regional, district or national championship for two, three, four years in a row, use the sayings "Three-peat," "Three's a charm," "Back 4 more" or "Back to Back." If you have a mascot that can be used to emphasize those words, have a good artist draw an image to complement the words. For instance, if your team is the Tigers and you're trying to win two in a row, write "Back to Back," then have someone draw two tigers standing with their backs to each other and arms folded proudly across their chest.
5. Use a popular slogan from a show, song or catch phrase for your sign, such as "Fire it up!" on an orange flame-shaped sign. "Unleash the Fury!" is a popular line from a movie and used at some professional games. Utilize it for your team, or change it to something funny like "Unleash the Furry" if you have an animal mascot, with an illustration of that animal.
Borrow lines from songs. The television show "Glee" has made "Don't Stop Believing'" popular again, and this title can be a great inspirational spirit sign.
6. Not really a saying, but something that is always popular at a home game is to make a sign for each player with his or her name and number on it and post them around the infield fence for a football game or around a building for an indoor game. Parents and friends love picking out the players they know.
