Their fans are loyal and LOUD. Their fans cheer loudly. Their fans are outraged by a bad call. Their fans celebrate the wins. Their fans embrace the losses and trust their team will bounce back quickly for the next game.
The fans.
They are one of the most important aspects of a desirable game atmosphere. Without them, the team has no purpose of playing. That’s why it’s so important to give your fans the tools which encourage loud cheering.
There are many school spirit items to choose from and a variety of cheering items should be available for your fans to purchase. Teams spirit items such as foam hands, pom poms, megaphones, cowbells, and other popular noisemakers are always a great choice.
But the number one selling noisemakers are thundersticks.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
First of All, What Are Thundersticks?
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It important to first of clear up a few questions about thundersticks.
What are thundersticks? These are inflatable tubes which are about 20-24″ long (depending on the brand) which you bang together to make a booming noise. When you get hundreds or thousands of pairs together, it creates an unforgettable sound. Because all thundersticks have a large surface area, there is plenty of room to print the school name, team mascot, and business sponsor logos on the cheering sticks.
Is there a difference between BamBams, Thunderstix, Thundersticks, Bang Sticks, Boom Sticks, and several other less popular names? The short answer is NOT REALLY. They all function in the same way. You inflate them, seal them, then bang them together to make noise. There’s really only one that stands out and that’s because it is reusable. The reusable types have a valve making it re-inflatable for future games. This gives these thundersticks a long-term value, whereas, the other types are one-time use only.
Are they dangerous? No, they are made of thin-walled PVC (same material used to make beach balls) or polyethylene (same material used to make plastic bags). If your fans start fencing with the thundersticks, the blows will be insignificant. They are not dangerous in any way. They are safe for both children and adult kids.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

These are Made in the USA, which makes these a popular choice for those who are willing to support U.S. businesses, even if the cost is higher. These are one-time use, so once they are inflated and sealed, they are good for that game only (or for the whole day). They will slowly lose air with no way to reinflate. However, these are great options when you need Thunderstix in a rush because a 3-day rush option is available![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”16684″ alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]

Just as their name indicates, they have an LED bulb inside which lights up the inflatable sticks. These are very popular for night games at which there is a scheduled black-out period for fans to wave around their light-up thundersticks. They have an activation tab, which once pulled, turns on the LED bulb and stays lit for 4-6 hours. The light will gradually fade out as the battery life diminishes. There is no way to turn these off once activated. These are a great way to shed some light on your sponsors since the logo gets illuminated by the internal light! Choose from either the Super Saver 9 Week Production to save money or if you need them faster, the Priority 3 Week Production option.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”16683″ alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]
