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 squads in teal and any team hosting a teal night for ovarian cancer awareness in September: our LED pom poms switch to teal by remote for the night and back to team colours after, and teal carries well in a dark gym. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Which teams order teal pom poms?
| Who | Colours | What the poms carry |
|---|---|---|
| Teams with teal in their colours | Teal and purple, teal and black, teal and white | Teal streamers, teal light, a split with the second colour |
| Squads running a teal awareness night | Their own team colours | Team-colour streamers, teal light for the night |
| Volleyball and football programs hosting a Teal Attack game | Teal | Teal light for the host squad or dance team |
The Charlotte Hornets play in teal, dark purple, gray and white, and their Honey Bees perform sideline and centre-court dances during games (source: Charlotte Hornets). Teal also comes from the other direction: a squad in its own colours that needs teal for one night a year.
How does teal read under stadium lights, in a dark gym and on camera?
| Where you perform | Metallic teal | Light-up teal |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime game | Bright and clear | Teal, with metallic shine |
| Night game under floodlights | Strong where the light hits | Holds teal; subtle under full floodlights |
| Gym with the lights down | Fades to dark blue-grey | Bright teal across the gym |
| Phone video | Flashes, then dark | Can lean blue or green on some cameras; film a test clip |
Teal light mixes green and blue. Green is the colour the eye reads as brightest, so teal carries farther in a dark gym than purple or red at the same distance. Check the setting against the teal shirts the crowd will wear; cause shirts run from deep teal to aqua. More on venues in stadium floodlights vs dark arenas.
Teal streamers or team-colour streamers?
- If teal is a team colour, order teal streamers. Our team-order metallic streamer colours are teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold and white.
- If teal is a one-night cause colour, keep your team-colour streamers and switch the light to teal by remote. In daylight the poms still show your team colour; after dark, they glow teal.
- If the squad runs several cause nights, silver streamers are the neutral choice under any light colour.
How do teal split sets work?
- Teal and purple: raised pom teal, low pom purple. Teal is the brighter of the two, so it leads.
- Teal and black: black cannot be light, so the uniform carries it and both poms run teal.
- Teal and white, for cervical cancer awareness in January: the ribbon is white and teal (source: National Foundation for Cancer Research), so a split in those two colours matches it exactly.
One remote moves the whole squad, so a split can change to all-teal on the survivors’ announcement.
Which nights call for teal?
| Night | When | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| Ovarian cancer awareness | September | Teal |
| Teal Attack game for ovarian cancer | Any game the school picks | Teal |
| Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Day of Action | April, on the first Tuesday | Teal |
| Cervical cancer awareness | January | Teal and white |
| Teal Pumpkin Project, for food allergies | Halloween | Teal |

How do schools run a teal night?
Teal Attack is a Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance program for high school and college athletic events. Schools pick any game day, both the home and visiting teams get free Teal Attack warm-up shirts (up to 15 per team), and all proceeds go to the Alliance (source: Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance: Teal Attack). It was started by Karen O’Brien, a former head volleyball coach and an ovarian cancer survivor.
At Palo Alto High School, two student clubs ran a Teal Out at a Friday night football game in September 2025 for ovarian cancer and sexual assault survivors; students traded their usual green and white for teal ribbons, bandanas and necklaces (source: Verde Magazine).
The squad’s part: start the game in team colours, switch to teal on the survivors’ moment, and hold teal for the photo.
How many teal 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Dance team of 10 | 12 | $1,440 |
| High school squad of 16 | 18 | $2,160 |
| College cheer and dance, 28 together | 30 | $3,600 |
For a squad that is not teal, the same set runs team colours all season and teal for the night, so the cause night does not need its own budget line.
Who runs what on the day?
| Role | Job |
|---|---|
| Coach of the host sport | Date, opponent and the survivors’ moment |
| Cheer or dance coach | The teal switch and who holds the remote |
| Student clubs | Teal accessories and fundraising, as Paly’s clubs did |
| Athletic director | Sign-off and the charity partner |
| Charity partner | Its guidelines; a Teal Attack coordinator signs off on fundraising ideas |
Agree the cue with the announcer so the teal lands on the survivors’ names, not after them.
How do you order teal pom poms for the team?
Email or DM us with the squad size, your team colours, if teal is a team colour or a cause colour, and your teal night 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.
