Collegiate football is on a tear and we're buckling our seatbelts and holding our breath collectively for more action.  ‪#‎Clemson‬ (also an FBD school) has bolted to the top of the ‪#‎AP‬ standings, leaving ‪#‎TCU‬ in the 6 position with ‪#‎MichiganState‬ following close behind at number 7. The ‪#‎FloridaState‬‪#‎Gators‬ are in the 8 spot and ironically, are one of FBDs officially licensed schools. Who knew so much could happen in a week?

Like a daytime soap opera, the never-ending saga of college football, is well, never-ending.  This week the Louisiana State Tigers took over the 4th position in the nation in football, sending the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs down to the 5th spot.  Because it changes so quickly, we don't have much time to marvel, but what we do know is that Fan Blade Designs holds licensing on the top 7 schools in the country. Coincidence you say?  We think not. 

Not only does the number 4 ranked Texas Christian University have a great football program, they're got great football players.  . .

The Baylor Bears are the number two school in the country and are a part of FBD's lineup as well. Here's what they look like on the field:

Here's what they look like on your ceiling fan:

 

Licensing your products with collegiate programs across the country can be a time-consuming and tricky challenge.  But we got lucky!  We now have the top 7 football schools on our roster and we're proud to say that our sales are increasing daily!  Every day for the next 6 days we'll add another school in order of their standing to this blog post.  Stay tuned for more of the greats!

It was Christmas Eve 2013 when my husband David had his epiphany about Fan Blade Designs and how they could change the face of ceiling fans everywhere.  The holidays just seemed like a natural fit for this type of product.  In observation of his idea, and its translation to seasonal home decor, we've put all of our Halloween inspired covers on sale for $24.99 plus free shipping.  We think they're "fang-tactic."

Because we love the islands, choosing tropical prints and Hawaiian themed covers was a no brainer.  We even got officially licensed with the University of Hawaii. But now that fall is here and we're longing for some island-style weather, we've decided to put all things Hawaiian on sale ($8 off the U of H covers, $6 off all of our Tropical Designs).  So get the Lysol antibacterial wipes and a sturdy ladder out and get busy. Then put a set of Tropical Fan Blade Designs on your fan and put yourself in an Island state of mind. It's a beautiful way to spend the day. . .

We felt compelled to include fans of felines in the mix by creating these Cat Fan Blade Designs in our Animal Instincts collection. They could also double as a great party accessory on Halloween. . . .Oliver, our intrepid male model kitty, seemed to like them as well.
