Home Logic Christmas Tree Stand Found in Tennessee Titans Locker Room

As of this writing, the Tennessee Titans football team are 11-1. Their incredible record has them slated as favorites for this years Super Bowl. So, what does football have to do with Home Logic or Housewares...well, nothing really. However, I wanted to relay one of those weird coincidences you stumble across while surfing the web.

We came across this blog entry on ESPN. It was about a special character in the Tennessee Titans locker room named "Bryan Pride". Brian started out as a Gatorade bottle that has been wrapped in tape...over time, that tape ball grew. Paul Kuharsky, ESPN Blogger and Analyst for the Oilers & Titans, goes on to describe how the giant ball of tape has taken on a life of it's own and has become a symbol of pride for the offensive linemen of the Titans. Bryan even has his own spot in the locker room.

Here's where we come in. Everyone knows that a 122 lb. ball of tape needs something to keep it from rolling away. In probably one of the strangest uses of Home Logic Christmas Tree Stand, Bryan Pride sits on top of a model #103 8' Christmas Tree Stand to keep from rolling away. We noticed that it still has our old packaging on it but, we know a 103 when we see one.

So, if you ever need a stand to hold your giant tape ball, Home Logic has your solution! It's a cool story and we're glad to be a part of it in our own little way.
