Auburn Tigers Win BCS National Championship

The No. 1 ranked Auburn University, a CLC client since 1981, was crowned Football National Champions in the 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship GameŽ on Monday, January 10. The Tigers defeated the No. 2 Oregon Ducks, 22-19, in one of the most exciting BCS National Championship games in history. With this victory, Auburn finishes the season with a perfect record of 14-0.

Auburn students, fans, and alumni will want to commemorate the national title with championship product, which is now available at participating retail locations throughout the country, as well as the Internet.

Auburn University currently ranks No. 15 in The Collegiate Licensing Company’s member institution rankings. The rankings represent royalties reported July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 on collegiate merchandise sold. Coming off of a 27 percent royalty increase for this fiscal year through November 2010, this National Championship will help to ensure another great year for the Auburn licensing program.

When purchasing product to celebrate the win, fans are encouraged to look for Officially Licensed Collegiate Products.

Tips for consumers purchasing National Championship merchandise…

• All officially licensed merchandise should display the “Officially Licensed Collegiate Products” hologram on the product or hangtag.

• The merchandise should depict BCS logos and marks in a tasteful manner, as distasteful designs are not approved by the BCS or Auburn.

• The tag on the garment should be intact. A torn or missing tag is evidence of a second-hand garment, one that probably would not meet the stringent quality standards set in place by the BCS or Auburn.

• All merchandise should bear the name of the manufacturer somewhere on the product, either in the form of a hangtag, a neck label, or screen-printed directly on the garment.

• All merchandise should have the appropriate trademark designations (i.e. TM,) next to a specific name or design.

Congratulations Auburn!
