How to Decorate Car Windows for Sports

The big game is days away, and you’ve got your jersey, your hat, and your foam finger—but what about your car? Whether you’re driving to a sporting event or watching it from the comfort of your home, you can use your car to show your support too. Keep your decorations simple or go all out to wish your team good luck with your vehicle.

1

Stick on a few team decals.

Let someone else do the decorating work for you. Pick up a few decals with your team name or mascot, then stick them to your windows before the big game.^{[1]XResearch source}
- You can get small decals to leave on your car year-round, or you can use huge ones that take up the whole window for special events.
- You can usually find decals at most team stores or online.
- When you’re looking for decals, make sure they say they’re removable for easy clean-up.

Use bumper stickers for permanent team spirit.

Bumper stickers don’t peel off easily, so only use these if you’re really feeling your team. Pick up a few from your local sports shop and put them on your back bumper to show your spirit all year long.^{[2]XResearch source}
- You can stay subtle with one bumper sticker, or you can go all out with a few different ones.
- Keep bumper stickers on the bumper, not the body of your car (they can ruin your paint).

Write supportive messages with window paint.

Nothing says team spirit like a heartfelt message! Grab a few window paint markers in your team colors and spell out your support for everyone to read.^{[3]XResearch source}
- Keep it simple with a “Go Team!” “Let’s Do This!” or “State Champs!”
- Make sure you’re using window paint! Real paint can do damage to your car windows, and no one wants to deal with that.
- Keep window paint on your windows. If it gets on the body of your car, it could damage the paint.

Draw simple shapes with your team colors.

You don’t have to be an artist to decorate your car. Fill in empty spaces with polka dots, lines, triangles, or squares to jazz up your ride.^{[4]XResearch source}
- Use your team colors to stay on-theme as you add your extra decorations.
- Make sure you can still see out of your windows!

Tie streamers to your car for a festive look.

Your car will look like the life of the party. Pick out some streamers in your team colors, then tape them to your windows with painter’s tape.^{[6]XResearch source}
- Drape your steamers around your side windows for a fun parade look, or hook them to the front windshield to make them the star of the show.
- If you have multiple colors, wind 2 streamers together for a twisty pattern.
- Painter’s tape won’t hurt your car, so you can peel it off without any worries.

Add flags to your windows for extra flair.

Show your support by waving your flag. Attach your team name or mascot to the side of your car with suction cup flags.^{[7]XResearch source}
- These flags aren’t great for aerodynamics, so you might want to take them off before driving long distances.
- You can add them to all 4 windows or stick with the front 2 for a simple look.

Tape shiny stars to your windows to turn heads.

Tell the world your team is a star with this decoration. Find cardstock in your team’s colors, then cut out large stars and put them on your back window.^{[8]XResearch source}
- Shiny cardstock will shine much brighter in the sun.
- This decoration could get a little soggy in the rain, so keep an eye on the weather.
- Use painter’s tape to avoid streaking the surface of your windows. And make sure you can still see out the back of your car!

Use balloons to make your decorations pop.

Nothing says celebration like a bundle of balloons! Blow some up in your team colors and tie them to the hood of your car for an extra fun decoration.^{[9]XResearch source}
- Balloons don’t work very well when you’re driving, so save these for after you get home from the big game.
- If your friend or family member is on the team, throw in a few “Congratulations” balloons too.

Make your car shine with LED lights.

You can decorate your car from the inside out. Set up an LED light with your team name or logo on it, then put it on your dashboard to show your support.^{[10]XResearch source}
- Look for LED light boxes at your team store or online.
- Most LED lights for the car have suction cups on the bottom so they don’t roll around.
