The present invention relates to a sports fan handkerchief including a sheet having a sports emblem integrally embossed thereon. Attached to a corner of the sheet is a loop having an attachment ring positioned therein. The handkerchief can be conveniently secured to a sports fan by sliding the ring onto the fan's finger. Accordingly, the fan can wave the handkerchief without fear of inadvertently dropping or throwing it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a novelty handkerchief having a uniquely designed finger ring for conveniently securing the handkerchief to a user's hand.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

A variety of sports fan memorabilia for demonstratively displaying loyalty to a particular sports team exists in the prior art. For example, foam hands and thunder sticks are commonly used by fans at sporting events; however, they are extremely bulky and therefore difficult to transport. Though sports fan handkerchiefs exist in the prior art, they are extremely thin and cannot be secured to a person's hand. Therefore, to wave or display the handkerchief, the fan must grip it with the thumb and forefinger whereby it can be easily dropped or thrown. Accordingly, there is currently a need for a sports memorabilia item that is easier to use than conventional items. The present invention addresses this need by providing a uniquely designed sports handkerchief having an integral attachment ring for securing to a user's finger.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a sports fan handkerchief. The device comprises a sheet formed of a durable, washable fabric such as nylon. Integrally embossed on the fabric is a sports emblem such as a team logo, colors, players' numbers or similar supportive design elements. Attached to an edge of the sheet, preferably at a corner thereof, is a loop formed of the same fabric material as the sheet. Received within the loop is an attachment ring for reception of a user's finger. The handkerchief can be conveniently secured to a sports fan by sliding the ring onto the fan's finger. Accordingly, the handkerchief can be waved without risk of being dropped or thrown.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a sports fan handkerchief that can be conveniently secured to a user.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a sports fan handkerchief that eliminates the problems and inconveniences associated with conventional sports fan handkerchiefs.
