Turf And Hash Marks
The print is a section of turf: mown stripes, white yard numbers, hash marks running the full 108 inches. Laid down the middle of a long table it lines up end to end, and platters set on it look like they are sitting on the twenty. It reads clearly from across a room, which is more than can be said for the generic sports confetti most people scatter instead.
Fade-Resistant PE Plastic
PE plastic keeps the greens and whites from washing out under a bright kitchen light or an afternoon sun on a patio, and it does not soften when a cold drink sweats on it for three hours. Light enough to shake out with one hand, tough enough that a dropped fork does not go through it. Sauce wipes off between the first half and the second.
Snack Table Coverage
One cover fits an eight-foot rectangular table, the kind that seats ten at a stretch and comes up from the basement whenever there is a crowd. Used on a smaller table, the extra hangs down the sides and hides the folding legs. Chips, a slow cooker and a stack of napkins all fit along the length without crowding the drinks off the end.
Tailgate Table Duty
The second cover goes to the parking lot. Spread over a tailgate or a folding table beside the truck, it takes the beating that outdoor surfaces give and gets thrown away at the end. Back home, a cover can also be hung behind the food as a backdrop for a birthday with a football theme, where the yard lines do the work a banner would otherwise have to do.
