LSU Items Of Memorabilia Are Fan Favorites

By Jerry Barnes


Super sports fans are like nobody else. They cheer their favorite teams on through championship seasons and disappointing ones. If they have the time and the means, these people will travel across country to support their teams. Nowhere is this truer than in the South, where Friday night football is a religious experience for many. Louisiana State University alumni and those currently enrolled at the institution are no different. That is one of the reasons that LSU items of memorabilia are so highly sought after.

Tiger fans who have the means, and the room in their homes, might dream of replicating the stadium in a special screening room complete with redesigned coliseum seating taken straight from the bleachers. These types of seats can be purchased whenever they are removed because of wear or remodeling. It is usually not too difficult to restore them to their original condition. Many fans are happy to spend the time and money to do so.

If you are a big fan of Louisiana State athletics, but don't have the budget to customize a home theater, there are plenty of other items you can purchase to remind you of your favorite star. Shaquille O'Neal is one of LSU's most famous athletes. His name is familiar to most people whether they are basketball fans or not. You can buy signed photographs of this legend showing him at work on the court.

Shaq is only one legend to come out of Louisiana State. Football fans revere the name Billy Cannon. With the help of the internet, they can even watch the halfback's amazing Halloween night touchdown in 1959. That was the same year he won the Heisman and saw his jersey retired. It is possible to purchase a signed photo or mini helmet in appreciation of his talent.

There are other popular players who have had memorable moments in their careers. Odell Beckman and Patrick Peterson have been immortalized in the moment of spectacular catches and plays. The athletes have signed some of those photographs for fans, and they can be purchased on several sports memorabilia websites.

Signed photos are probably the most available and most commonly purchased sports items. Fans can also buy helmets, mini helmets, footballs and basketballs with the signatures of their sports heroes. You can get an official LSU jersey with your favorite number embroidered on it as well. Finding signed jerseys can be more difficult. Some fans collect tigers in honor of Mike the Tiger, LSU's beloved mascot.

All items of memorabilia must be protected in order to keep them from dust, moisture, and harsh sunlight. Most pictures come in frames, so they are already behind glass. You may have to purchase special cases for other mementos or have them custom made. Adding a logo to the case can add a special touch.

Sports fans can never seem to get enough of their favorite teams and players. Whether it is football, basketball or baseball, personalized photos, balls and jerseys are prized possessions for them.
