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 blue and gold, black and gold and purple and gold teams: our LED pom poms pair gold streamers that shine by day with a warm yellow glow at night, and switch by remote to yellow for a September gold out. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Gold or yellow: which pom poms does your team need?
A light-up pom gives you both: gold by day, warm yellow by night. If your school colour is a true yellow, the glow is a close match. Gold also changes with the material: Purdue University, whose official colours are old gold and black, created a guide to which gold to use on each surface (source: Purdue News). On a pom it works in two ways:
- Gold streamers are metallic. They shine gold in sunlight and under floodlights, and gold is one of our standard streamer colours.
- A gold glow is mixed from red and green light on a colour-changing LED. It reads as warm yellow to amber, with no metallic shine, because light has no metal in it.
Which teams order gold pom poms?
| Team colours | Common set-up |
|---|---|
| Blue and gold | Blue raised, gold low; or solid gold for the fight song |
| Black and gold | Gold streamers and glow; black in the uniform and handle |
| Purple and gold | Purple raised, gold low; purple is a standard streamer colour |
| Green and gold | Green raised, gold low |
| Maroon and gold | Gold glow, maroon in the uniform |
| Red and gold | Red raised, gold low |
Gold is one of the five most popular colours among US colleges, with white, blue, red and black (source: Wikipedia: School colors). On team orders our metallic streamer colours are teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold and white, and custom team colours are available on team orders, confirmed with you before production.
How does yellow read under stadium lights, in a gym and on camera?
| Setting | Gold metallic pom | Light-up pom in yellow-gold |
|---|---|---|
| Day games | Strong shine | Gold streamers; the same shine |
| Floodlit night game | Shines where the lights hit | Reads yellow; the glow is less dramatic under full floodlights |
| Dark gym, house lights down | Goes dull and brown | One of the brightest glows to the eye |
| Phone video | Flares in strong light | Can drift orange or green; check a test clip |
Yellow sits close to the green light the eye is most sensitive to, around 555 nm (source: Wikipedia: luminous efficiency function), so a yellow glow reads bright from the top of a dark gym. On camera, film a test clip at the venue: phones balance colour for the whole scene, and a yellow glow can tip toward orange under warm lights.
What should the squad carry at a gold out game?
Gold is the ribbon colour for childhood cancer, with awareness in September (source: National Foundation for Cancer Research), and during the month gold shows up at football games and volleyball matches alike (source: KRGV). At Wylie East High School’s gold out football game, the stands filled with yellow shirts and varsity players wore gold stickers on the backs of their helmets (source: Wylie East Blue Print).
Notice the shirts were yellow. In the stands gold and yellow are the same night, and a warm yellow glow matches a yellow crowd better than metallic gold does after dark. For a squad that is not gold the rest of the year, the remote switches the set to yellow for the game and back to team colours after. See cancer awareness night ideas for every sport.
How do blue and gold or purple and gold split sets work?
A split set puts one colour in each hand, set up on a team order. For blue and gold, the raised pom glows blue and the low pom warm yellow, so every motion shows both colours. Purple and gold works the same way, with purple streamers on one pom and gold on the other.
Two things to agree before production: which colour goes in which hand, and whether the squad wants solid gold for any moment, such as the fight song. Tell us both when you ask for a quote and we confirm the breakdown with you before production.
How many gold pom poms does a dance line need?
The Purdue Golduster Dance Team, the dance line of the Purdue “All-American” Marching Band, ordered 24 pairs from us in September 2026 and performed with them on the field. Band-affiliated lines run large, so count every performer plus spares. At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Dance team of 12 | 14 | $1,680 |
| Band dance line of 22 | 24 | $2,880 |
| Cheer and dance, 32 together | 34 | $4,080 |
Pair counts include two spares.
What should you check before ordering gold poms?
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which gold is your school’s? | Old gold, bright gold and yellow look different on streamers |
| Gold streamers or another colour by day? | Streamers set the daytime look; the glow sets the night |
| Solid or split? | Splits need a hand-by-hand breakdown |
| Which colour is the handle? | The baton handle is made in your team colours |
| How many spares? | Spares from the same order match |
| What is the first performance date? | So we can tell you plainly what fits |
