In the weeks leading up to the Lehigh-Lafayette game, spray-painted bedsheets begin to appear across Lehigh’s campus and neighborhood homes and businesses.
These sheets bear insults and jokes, often incorporating school-specific or pop culture references, against Lafayette. Some also include drawings to further illustrate their jabs.

The bedsheet banners can be found hanging from dorms, fraternity and sorority houses and academic buildings around the university.
Students living off campus also display banners on their homes, and some local businesses join the tradition by using their name in a derisive message to Lafayette.

Many people use their own bedsheets, but Lehigh also hosts painting nights and supplies students with materials they need to create banners.
This yearly tradition joins the campus community together and builds school spirit..
