As the dog days of summer march forward, workouts grow in intensity and football teams begin eying the first kickoff of the season. The countdown to fall is on, and your players aren’t the only ones ready for the thrill of another football season. While coaches and players are working tirelessly to get ready for that kickoff, there’s no better time to get your athletic facilities prepped for the new season.

Ice, wind, and the harsh ultraviolet rays from the sun can all be harmful for outdoor signage. Choosing the right materials should be the biggest consideration when selecting outdoor recognition signs. It’s important that your signs stand up to all the standard weather elements. In the sign industry, standard elements are defined as temperatures between 150 degrees and -50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rock Hill High School of Rock Hill, South Carolina, recently reached out to us to update their athletic hall of fame signage. In addition to hall of fame inductees, it was important to Bill Warren, Athletic Director, to include other athletic honors such as the “Bearcat Service Award,” “Role of Honor” and retired jerseys. The board was titled “Rock Hill Traditions” to illustrate this overarching theme.
