the World’s #1 Scissors Brand™, has joined with the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) for the eighth consecutive year to be the

orange-handled scissors that find their place in millions of homes
across the world can be part of this great tradition, celebrating a
team’s success as it works toward that one shining moment.”
