Called by various trade names like Bam Bams, Thundersticks, or Bangers these usually disposable noisemakers are everywhere. We usually refer to them as Bam Bams, for the product like we default to unless otherwise noted.

Bam Bams is the premium name of inflated noise-making sticks and are perfect for any sports event where you want to get your fans involved. They are great behind your baskets in basketball. Fans of all ages love to be part of the action. These noisemakers are extremely popular with high schools as a fund-raising tool and sports teams at all levels.

Bam Bams come pre-packed in a small poly bag, which makes distribution easier. You also can add a sponsor logo to our packaging for higher quantities.

Gameops.com is a leading distributor for Bam Bams and we are proud to offer the lowest among our competitors. Our experience and knowledge with Bam Bams allows us to offer the best pricing and best service.

Comparing Bam Bams and Thunderstix

We offer two different inflatable noisemaker products: Bam Bams and Thunderstix®. This grid shows the main differences in the products.
The primary difference is packaging. Bam Bams are packed in small poly bags, which makes them easier to distribute. Thunderstix are packed in bulk.

Costs are similar, but typically Bam Bam pricing is a little more competitive.

Thunderstix are Made in the USA, Bam Bams are not.

At Gameops.com we offer both, but typically price Bam Bams for our clients unless they specifically request Thunderstix.

Gameops.com offers both Bam Bams and Thundersticks. With two primary advantages we typically recommend Bam Bams. First, pricing tends to be a little better with Bam Bams. Second, for ease of distribution Bam Bams are packaged in pairs making it easier to handle (unless you plan to drape 2 over each seat).

For teams who must have products MADE IN THE USA, obviously Thundersticks are the choice.

Unless noted specifically we typically quote the product that best fits your request (either by price or delivery timelines), but we always note in our quote which we are quoting. We do this since the terms “Thunderstix”, “Bangers”, and “Bam Bams” (to name a few) while trade names are commonly exchanged for each other.
