Start Jumping Graduation Custom Banner

Start Jumping — because "If You Know…You Know."

This isn't just a banner. It's the moment the whole neighborhood knows your Hokie earned it — whether they're heading to Blacksburg for the very first time or walking across the stage after four unforgettable years. The second a fellow Hokie reads START JUMPING, they get it. And they feel it. That electric moment when 65,000 fans jump as one, the lights drop, and Metallica shakes Lane Stadium to its core — this banner brings that energy straight to your front porch, your backyard, or your reception hall.

If you know, you know.

This custom banner wraps your future or current Hokie grad's biggest moment in the colors that matter: rich Hokie Maroon and bold Burnt Orange, with crisp white lettering that pops from across the yard. Whether it's hanging in the driveway for a backyard bash, strung across the front porch for the whole street to see, or displayed as a stunning photo backdrop at the celebration — this banner delivers.

What's Included & What Makes It Special Fully personalized name displayed in large, bold display lettering — your grad's name front and center, exactly as it should be. The iconic START JUMPING call-to-action at the bottom is the ultimate Hokie inside joke — the kind that makes every VT fan stop, smile, and immediately want a photo in front of it. Durable vinyl construction with silver metal grommets at all four corners for easy, secure hanging indoors or outdoors — no fuss, just celebration.

Why This Banner Stands Out

The START JUMPING banner is a conversation starter and a crowd-stopper. The moment a fellow Hokie sees it, you'll hear it — that laugh of instant recognition, followed by "okay, I NEED one of these." Families tell us it becomes the unofficial photo station of the whole party. Everyone wants a picture in front of it, and your grad will want to keep it long after move-in day or commencement — because it isn't just party décor, it's a keepsake that captures exactly what it means to be a Hokie.

This also makes a great tailgate banner for every home game in Blacksburg!

The example shown features the name James in Virginia Tech colors — but this banner is made just for your Hokie. Any name, any milestone, ready to celebrate the future or graduating Hokie who earned every single jump.
