| Just making sure I didnt want to have wake Sam up and sic'em on ya They are homecoming mums - Found this online... I think its a Southern thing The Homecoming Add to My Michaels The first homecoming celebration dates back to the year 1911. University of Missouri Athletic Director, Chester Brewer, afraid that fans and alumnus would not attend the “big game” due to a change in location, devised a plan to add some excitement to the game. He challenged the alumnus to return home for a great celebration with parades, parties, a rally, and of course the big game. Over 9,000 fans returned home for the event, which is recorded as the first official homecoming game. The rest is history. Now almost every middle school, high school, and college in the country continues this annual tradition. Part of the southern tradition is the Homecoming Mum. Only one person can be a homecoming queen, but everyone can wear a mum fit for royalty. Think of trinkets and charms as jewelry for your mum. As tradition goes, most mums have bells and whistles, and usually a football or two, and maybe a rabbit’s foot for luck. Charms are usually chosen to represent the wearer. A basketball may be added for a basketball player, a music note for a band student, etc. Letters and numbers are applied on the ribbons with the wearers name, school year, boy or girlfriend’s name, etc. White and silver mums are sometimes worn by seniors to set them apart from underclassmen. Ribbons are also a part of the look. Braided ribbons or beaded garlands of stars, hearts, footballs, bears, or chains are added to personalize your mum. Warning to all – Don’t mix and match silver and gold trinkets, ribbons or letters and remember, the more the better.
