Shopping Guide: Throw a Navy Party!

There are get-togethers—and then there are Navy get-togethers.

You know the difference. There's more blue and gold. More yelling at the television. At least one spirited rendition of “Anchors Aweigh.” And when Army is involved? Consider the volume officially turned up.

Whether you're tailgating outside Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, hosting a watch party at home, planning a graduation party, or simply looking for an excuse to gather your favorite Navy fans, Navyonline.com has the gear to turn an ordinary celebration into a Go Navy good time.

So grab your party supply checklist. We're getting this party started!

Set the Table—Navy Style

First things first: cover that table in blue and gold.

The two pack of USNA disposable table cloths makes an easy starting point for your party set, whether you're serving burgers from the grill, setting up a game-day buffet, or laying out a spread for Commissioning Week.

Hang Up Some Navy Spirit

Every good Navy party needs décor that makes your allegiance obvious before guests even reach the snacks.

The GO NAVY BEAT ARMY banner string gets right to the point. String the thick felt panels across your food table, mantel, tailgate tent, or party entrance and consider your decorating done.

Want to go bigger? The GO NAVY little giant banner delivers a bold dose of 20 x 60” nylon Navy spirit ideal for tailgates, patios, porches, and watch parties.

These party banners can come back out game after game, season after season.

Keep the Drinks Cool

Whether your beverage of choice is soda, seltzer, or something else cold and refreshing, give it the Navy treatment.

The slim fit can holder with N* is a small but mighty addition to your celebration, while the 2-pack full color can holders with USNA give you a pair ready for game day.

For bottled drinks, there's also a full-color zippered bottle coolie.

These and other fun koozies are practical, reusable, and inexpensive enough to make great party favors for fellow Navy fans. Hand them out at a football watch party, family gathering, or graduation party, and your guests leave with a little Navy spirit of their own.

Bring the Noise

A Navy party isn't supposed to be quiet.

Enter the screaming goat noisemaker. Inspired by Navy's beloved Bill the Goat, this little attention-getter is tailor-made for touchdowns, big plays, and those moments when your television apparently needs to hear your coaching advice.

Add a few rooter pom-poms to your party supply checklist, too. At just a few dollars each, they're another fun choice for party favors and an easy way to get everyone—from grandparents to the littlest Navy fans—into the action.

Make Your Tailgate More Comfortable

Heading to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium? Don't forget the practical stuff.

The charging goat quad folding chair gives you a Navy-ready place to settle in before kickoff, while the clear stadium tote bag with anchor is designed to meet stadium sizing guidelines and gives you a convenient way to carry your essentials.

And because Annapolis weather doesn't always follow the game plan, the GO NAVY charging goat automatic umbrella is worth keeping nearby, too.

Rain or shine, Navy plays on.

Fly the Colors

Finally, no celebration is complete without some flags.

Navyonline.com’s double-stitched' 3' x 5' Go Navy Beat Army flag makes a statement at home or at the tailgate. Hang it outside, display it behind the food table, or make it the backdrop for party photos.

For something a little different, the fight song banner features the lyrics of our powerful “Anchors Aweigh” anthem. Throw it up for some extra spirited support!

Party with a Purpose

Here's the best item on your party supply checklist: knowing your celebration can give something back.

When you purchase Navy gear through Navyonline.com, 100% goes back to the Brigade of Midshipmen, supporting the programs and experiences that enrich midshipmen life.

So invite the crew. Hang the party banners. Pass out the party favors. Put out the food and get ready to cheer.

Whether the Mids are taking the field, your favorite midshipman is graduating, or you simply feel like celebrating Navy, there's always a good reason to throw a party.

Go Navy!
