Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
For maroon and white, maroon and gold and maroon and silver programs: our LED pom poms glow a deep red that carries your maroon to the stands at night, when maroon poms read near black, and run your second colour as a split. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Which teams order maroon pom poms?
| Team colours | Example | What the poms carry |
|---|---|---|
| Maroon and white | Mississippi State | Deep red light, with white as the split |
| Maroon and gold | Minnesota | A split: deep red and warm gold |
| Maroon as the main colour | Texas A&M | Deep red light, all-maroon nights |
| Maroon and silver | Many high schools | Red light over silver streamers |
Mississippi State’s colours are maroon and white (source: Mississippi State Bulldogs), Minnesota’s maroon and gold (Minnesota Golden Gophers), and Texas A&M calls maroon its main colour (Texas A&M Traditions: Maroon Out). Maroon and gold is the most searched maroon pairing, just ahead of maroon and white.
Why does maroon go dark at night?
Maroon reflects very little light. A metallic maroon pom flashes in sunlight and under floodlights, but the colour between the flashes reads near black from the upper rows, and in a dim gym the whole pom does.
Light has the opposite problem. An LED is never darker than its own light, so it cannot show maroon at all: the deepest red it makes still reads as red. That is the honest trade for a maroon program. In daylight, metallic streamers carry the look. After dark, deep red light carries the colour.
How does maroon read under stadium lights, in a dark gym and on camera?
| Where you perform | Metallic maroon or red | Light-up deep red |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime game | Rich, close to the uniform | Metallic shine, plus red where the diodes show |
| Night game under floodlights | Flashes, near black between | Holds red; subtle under full floodlights |
| Gym with the lights down | Effectively black | Deep red, visible across the gym |
| Phone video | Dark | Red can saturate on phone video; film a test clip |
Red light reads dimmer to the eye than white or gold, so a maroon-and-white or maroon-and-gold split will always show the lighter colour first. Plan the choreography around that; more in stadium floodlights vs dark arenas.
Which light-up setup suits a maroon program?
Our team-order metallic streamer colours are teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold and white. There is no maroon streamer on the list, so maroon programs choose one of three setups:
| Setup | In daylight | After dark |
|---|---|---|
| Red streamers, deep red light | Reads brighter red than the uniform | Deep red |
| Second-colour streamers (white, gold or silver), deep red light | Reads as your second colour | Deep red |
| Split set: one pom red, one in the second colour | Both colours | Both colours, switchable together by remote |
The split is the setup that shows both team colours in daylight and after dark. Send a daylight photo of the uniform and we will tell you plainly which setup gets closest.
How do maroon and white or maroon and gold split sets work?
- Maroon and white: raised pom deep red, low pom white. White is the brightest setting, so it pops; keep red on the raised pom so it leads.
- Maroon and gold: raised pom deep red, low pom warm yellow-gold over gold streamers.
- All-maroon moments: the whole squad switches both poms to deep red together by remote, on a count.
Tell us the split when you order: which hand, which colour, which streamer.
Which nights call for maroon?
- A maroon out. At Texas A&M’s Maroon Out, fans wear maroon T-shirts sold by class councils, and proceeds support Aggie traditions and student scholarships (source: Texas A&M Traditions: Maroon Out). Any maroon school can run its own; the squad is the one part of the crowd that can glow.
- Multiple myeloma awareness, in March. Its ribbon is burgundy, the closest awareness colour to maroon (source: National Foundation for Cancer Research).
- Every other cause night, by switching the light to the cause colour.
How many maroon pom poms does a squad need?
One pair per performer plus two spares, ordered together so every pair matches. At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| College dance team of 14 | 16 | $1,920 |
| College cheer squad of 20 | 22 | $2,640 |
| Cheer and dance together, 34 | 36 | $4,320 |
One set covers maroon game days, the split with your second colour and every theme night.
What should a coach send with a maroon order?
- Two photos of the uniform: one in daylight, one under your game lights.
- The second colour and which of the three setups you want.
- The headcount, plus spares.
- The dates: first night game and any maroon out.
The night photo matters most. It shows how far your maroon already drops under your own lights.
How do you order maroon pom poms for the team?
Email or DM us with the squad size, your second colour, the setup you want and your first night game or maroon out date. We make our light-up products ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. See team orders for how a group order works.
Frequently asked questions
Do light-up pom poms come in maroon?
Maroon is not one of our streamer colours, and no light shows maroon. Maroon programs use deep red light with red streamers or streamers in their second colour, or a split set.
What colour light is closest to maroon?
A deep red. At night it carries the maroon side of your colours to the stands.
What colours go with maroon pom poms?
White, gold and silver. Maroon and gold is the most searched pairing, then maroon and white.
Why do maroon poms look black at night games?
Maroon reflects very little light, so once the light drops the colour between metallic flashes reads near black.
What is a Maroon Out?
A Texas A&M tradition that began at the 1998 Nebraska game: fans wear maroon to fill Kyle Field with one colour.
How much do maroon light-up pom poms cost for a team?
Our team rate is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A college cheer squad of 20 with two spares is 22 pairs, or $2,640 at that rate.
