Did you hear the news?

College football sponsorship patches might be making their way onto Penn State jerseys. Soon, the uniforms might not just represent the greatest school of all time, they could also work as walking billboards. At this rate, quarterbacks may spend less time reading defenses and more time reading sponsorship logos.

So we got thinking, why not have some fun and imagine what patches really belong on a Penn State jersey?

Sheetz

Of course, we can’t forget Sheetz. A classic, and practically one of the most popular spots in the area. If any brand has earned its place on the jersey, it’s the one fueling midnight snack runs. No matter the hour, they are always ready to answer the call of a hungry Penn State fan.

Wawa

And speaking of possibilities, how about Wawa? Since the chain is finally making its way to State College, this patch would be a great introduction to its arrival. Hoagies, coffees, and another spot for those late-night runs are things every student would love, so why not make it official on game day?

LineLeap

Let’s not forget LineLeap! While it won’t help you score football tickets, it’s the ultimate game-changer for your post-game plans. Whether it’s a touchdown celebration at the bars or a night out, this sponsor turns every long line into a fast pass to the good times.

Champs Downtown

Then there’s Champs Downtown, one of the go-to places for any gameday and afterparty. This patch would be more than just a logo, it would show that a celebration and a great place to enjoy football is just blocks away.

McLanahan’s

If you ever need a one-stop shop that always seems to have it all, you can go to McLanahan’s. From Penn State gear to last-minute tailgate snacks, this is the place that brings it all together. Definitely a place we’ve all visited when we needed just about anything.

Raising Cane’s

How about one of the most popular food spots, Raising Cane’s?  Always packed with lines on gameday, this place is loved for a reason. The perfect combo of crispy chicken, fries, Texas toast, and Cane’s Sauce will always make you happy.

El Jefe’s Taqueria

Or another local favorite, El Jefe’s Taqueria, the late night legend. Every Penn Stater knows that burritos and tacos at 2 a.m. aren’t just food, they’re a lifestyle. After a day of tailgating and watching the game, nothing feels more right.

CATABUS

Of course, we always have CATABUS, the real savior of campus transportation (and the ultimate test of patience). It’s basically a rolling social experiment, where you never know what ride you’ll get. Either way, they help us get from point A to point B and always have our backs.

Yik Yak

We also have Yik Yak, the app that turns every campus secret, rant, confusion, and joke out into the world for everyone to see. Always having anonymous chaos, funny texts, and the occasional life hacks makes this a great choice.

Canvas

Last but not least, let’s not leave out our very own MVP of student life. Canvas is the place that everyone tries to forget about during a fun time at the game, but also a platform that we can’t live without. No matter how many touchdowns we score, those assignment alerts always score first.

At the end of the day, Penn State doesn’t need flashy sponsorships to define its tradition, but imagining them makes the idea of jersey patches a lot more fun and enjoyable.

From Sheetz vs. Wawa to LineLeap, Champs Downtown, McLanahan’s, Raising Cane’s, El Jefe’s Taqueria, CATABUS, Yik Yak, and Canvas, each patch tells its own part of the Penn State story. Whether it’s late-night food runs, last-minute tailgating gear, places to enjoy the game, or the app that gets you through the week, these patches represent the heartbeat of Happy Valley.
