Analyzing Basketball Fans

March 4th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks sports basketball large 02 Analyzing Basketball FansMen can be fanatical about the games that they watch and play. Basketball enthusiasts will want to have their own hoops at home, dribble basketballs along the corridors and hit the sofa hard when his favorite team is on the tube. The admiration can very quickly turn to idolatry.

 

Sports fans are a merchandiser’s dream. More often than not, they tend to patronize their sports’ memorabilia as well as personal paraphernalia. Most likely, a college student on a basketball scholarship who loves the Chicago Bulls will have a Chicago Bulls shirt, jersey, cap and keychain. He may even have sports cufflinks or basketball cufflinks for more formal occasions.

 

Grown men probably will not mind exchanging their company issued silver cufflinks for something more reflective of their nature and passions. Make no mistake about it – sports fans do become passionate about their team and their team’s performance. This is normal. What is no longer normal or acceptable behavior is when passion turns to obsession for specific persons. News reports feature obsessive fans arrested every now and then and the story is never pretty.

 

It must be interesting to delve further into the psyche of those who have developed deep passion for sports in general. In contrast, it is easy enough to see what the fans admire about certain talented basketball players like Kobe Bryant or the legendary Michael Jordan. All basketball players aspire to imbibe talent such as theirs. It is one of the dream jobs after all – playing for a living rather than stuck in the office on a cloudy day wearing these constrictive silver cufflinks.

From Eagle to Ugly: The Sorry Transformation of a Symbol to a Commodity

February 1st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks nfl eagles 75 large From Eagle to Ugly: The Sorry Transformation of a Symbol to a CommodityEver since its claws left the comforts of the branch it rests on, ever since it pushed itself towards the luminous white and the unending stretch of blue, ever since it soared to blend with the sunlight and glisten in the moonbeam, ever since we’ve known it to be the symbol of our hopes and aspirations, our joys and depressions, our luck and misfortune, our faith and our allegiance, our people and our institutions, our meters and our yards, ever since we were able to pronounce it while feeling with great awe our knees touching the ground because of the majestic sight it presents, as if it is the sole entity which has been given the right to command what our society, and the relationships among men and women that keep it thriving towards greater and greater expectations, should be, ever since we thought of what our eagle represents as the ruler of us all, ever since the eagle has left its eagleness to participate in our contrived efforts to make ourselves better, ever since then that we have been doomed.

 

Because the eagle is just an eagle, and it would surely want for itself to remain that way. Even if it has been commercialized extending towards the manufacture of the lamest of things (sterling silver cufflinks), the eagle has been given much importance it doesn’t really need.

 

What the eagle need is attention to the very fact that its species is already endangered and that soon, eagles would only be present to our consciousness because of NFL and NFL football cufflinks. 

Let genuine respect towards a symbol penetrate to our culture once more. Buy these Eagle’s 75th Anniversary Cufflinks and help restore dignity in its flight.

January 27th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks sports basketball large 02 Basketball Cufflinks for the Hoop FanaticWhen you get into hot water as a young kid because of dribbling inside the house pretending that you’re a Michael Jordan or a Kobe Bryant hitting winning shots with games on the line, then you’re definitely nuts with basketball – in the same way that millions of people are, too. By this time your obsession for basketball has increased, together with a few more interests that include fashion.

                    

In hindsight, it makes perfect sense because basketball and fashion really make a formidable combination. NBA apparels are sure to be a staple on your get-up, be it jerseys, shirts or headbands. Not to mention that you have an ever-growing collection of Air Jordan pairs.

 

But while they cause some jaws to drop, there’s no chance to flash them on a formal occasion. You obviously don’t want to have an NBA merchandise to match your coat and tie.

 

But don’t fret, you can still insert your love for hoops to your attire and keep your elegance by wearing specially designed silver cufflinks. In your case, a pair of Basketball Cufflinks should be the hands down choice.

Just like the color of a traditional basketball, this pair of sports cufflinks is enameled in orange. It is three-quarter inch in diameter and with the back plated in nickel. Elegant and stylish, you can wear these basketball cufflinks as a perfect complement of your French cuffs or any formal wear. You don’t even have to wait to be in the Rookie Draft to wear one!

Now that the busy corporate world has totally engulfed you, those times when you can again do those hang ten and welcome the big waves would have to wait until you are entitled to a vacation. That’s not an easy thing to do. With all the pressure brought upon by the global financial meltdown, you just have to work double time if you still want to enjoy your retirement days.

 

Because of that predicament, all that is left for you is to reminisce those times when you are still carefree and all that you worry about is how to handle the surfboard in the most poised manner to impress the chicks. But now, you need to worry about impressing the boss with how you present yourself in a business meeting. Before, it wouldn’t matter if you’re just wearing your wet suits or underpants to the beach. Now the only acceptable suit you should be wearing are black tuxedos and ties. Combine them with a nice pair of silver cufflinks and you are good to go.

 

But that does not always come easy. There will come a time when you find the need to whip off your business suit and dress the way you used to. Or at least be reminded of what it was like to just wear jeans and shirt to beach and take them off when the surf’s up. The Surfboard Cufflinks have high hopes of giving that nostalgic feeling back to you. And for that, you’ll be more motivated to push through with a long awaited vacation leave to hit the waves again.

Why Wear NCAA College Cufflinks

December 15th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks ncaa maryland large 02 Why Wear NCAA College CufflinksThere’s no way we are believing that you go to the University of Maryland if you are not a fan of the Maryland Terrapins. You can be a non-NCAA dude, but hey, show us some school spirit! Wearing silver cufflinks that has the official logo of Maryland Terrapins is enough. You don’t really need to talk about it if you don’t want.

 

NCAA college cufflinks are what the hiring team usually looks for in a job applicant. Admit it, your university degree and university, per se, matters a lot. If you are from the University of Maryland, chances are they’ll favor you over some other applicants from a meek state college.

 

You’ve got no reason not to wear the Maryland Terrapins Cufflinks. If you want to show some school pride to your interviewer, it better start with a short and laidback conversation about your experience in college, probably, watching one of those NCAA games. Not that you have to have watched a game either. Not watching any of those games is as interesting as watching them. In fact, you have a lot to tell about that which can impress or disappoint the interviewer depending on your answers. So you better be ready.

 

If you haven’t really thought about NCAA and Maryland Terrapins at all, tell them why. If they ask why you’re wearing the cufflinks still, tell them it’s because you want something to remember from the university. You are not exactly a fan of Maryland Terrapins but you sure is a fan of the University of Maryland and the cufflinks just symbolize that quality of the university.

How Rory Gilmore Loved Yale

September 18th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks ncaa yale large 01 How Rory Gilmore Loved YaleThe first thing that comes to mind when talking about Yale cufflinks and Yale University in general is the now defunct TV series, Gilmore Girls. If you still remember the show, the daughter, Rory Gilmore goes to Yale University but even before that, her grandparents already dress her room with all Yale and other NCAA college cufflinks, souvenirs and paraphernalias possible.

 

The life of Rory Gilmore seems to be the life that everyone of us likes to have. It is very ideal, even the worst of times! If you are given the chance to choose the problems you get to have in your entire adolescent life, you’ll choose Rory and that’s not just because she’s from Yale. Well, the most part of it is because of that.

 

Living with her mother Lorelai Gilmore is the best part of it. Because Lorelai gave birth to Rory at a very young age, the two are most of the time mistaken as sisters and not mothers and daughters. They share their stuff. Even dresses, accessories such as designer cufflinks. But they also share by the rules. You still have to let the other person know that you are borrowing something.

 

Anyway, those are just the little stuff that you will love about this mother-daughter pair. Many others will send you to tears of joy and would really touch your heart in the funniest way. With the series’ witty dialogue and storyline, living in a small town such as Stars Hallow become a dream come true to someone who was not able to get the same adolescent as Rory.

Cufflinks for the Winter!

September 10th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Sports Cufflinks

cufflinks sports sterling skier large 01 Cufflinks for the Winter!Summer is almost coming to an end. Although wintertime is still a few months away, preparing for the holiday season should be done the earlier the better.

 

What else should you prepare for aside from winter apparel but the gears! Yes, the skiing gears. It is time to book for that winter resort reservation or else you won’t find anything affordable during the peak season. As soon as you get ready for the skiing trip, all that is left for you to do is to enjoy nightly Christmas parties starting from your office party to your girlfriend’s office’s yearender.

 

It is but important that you are prepared for all these cocktails, too. They are the best times of the year for socialization. If you are still on the lookout for a partner, the best way to do it is to give out the right impression by dressing good and dressing timely. Wearing sports cufflinks that are somewhat related to the seasons and to your passions is your best bet.

 

How about a pair of sterling skier cufflinks? That should be the best conversation starter of all! Imagine someone from across the bar who gets to see the sterling silver cufflinks and ask about how you like skiing. If that works well, you might even invite the same person on a holiday trip with you!

 

But it’s not just the girls you need to impress. How about your boss and a pair of sterling skier cufflinks for him, too? That would much be appreciated given the fact that it is, again, timely and quite thoughtful. What else could be better than a promotion and a new mate? Certainly, none!
