If you chose answer B above, you DO have a keen grasp of school spirit. But seriously, there’s a big difference between unadorned spaces and areas that proudly display a school’s name, logo, mission, and mascot. Let’s focus on university campuses.Colleges have long known about the importance of branding. Walk into any university bookstore and you’re greeted with branded sweatshirts, t-shirts, shorts, jerseys, ball caps, scarves, and socks, just to name a few. Once students and alumni purchase these items, they become walking and talking brand ambassadors; billboards on two legs.When you visit a new college campus, you may notice customized banners, collegiate art, statues of college mascots, and stadiums outfitted in university colors and logos. These bright and vibrant displays reinforce a sense of university pride and cohesion.Venture into the nearby college town and take note of how many businesses prominently show their connection to the college. When community leaders and companies support the local university, it strengthens the bond between the “townies” and the students and professors.People choose colleges for many reasons. In addition to strong academics, collegiate sports are often a strong draw for recruiting students. There’s a certain rush you feel when you enter a college gym or stadium bedecked in school colors.SportsGraphics provides that “wow” experience for our many loyal university customers.
