Fiskars Returns to NCAA Tournament
Garden tool manufacturer Fiskars has joined with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the eighth consecutive year to be the official net-cutting scissors during the 2016 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships.
The orange-handled scissors will be used by winning teams in the post-game net-cutting ceremonies for the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Regional Championship and Final Four games, as well as the NCAA Division II and III Men’s and Women’s Championship games. The special edition scissors have serrated, gold titanium blades that are specially etched with the NCAA logo.
Following the championship games, each of the winning institutions will keep one pair of the commemorative scissors for permanent display on campus.
“For nearly 50 years, Fiskars orange-handled scissors have helped people create moments they can be proud of in their homes. In March, that feeling extends to the basketball court as teams commemorate a hard-fought win by cutting down the nets,” said Fiskars Americas President Paul Tonnesen. “We’re once again honored that the orange-handled scissors that find their place in millions of homes across the world can be part of this great tradition, celebrating a team’s success as it works toward that one shining moment.”
