Each major college mascot is recreated in these super cool Jell-O molds so you can make edible party favors in support of your favorite team. Fans first saw the New University Jell-O molds available on the market last year in support of the [University of Arkansas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-park-canned-cocktails), [University of Florida](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-skincare-tailgate-tour), [University of Texas and University of Michigan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razorback-nuggets). This year Jell-O has expanded the choice of university Jell-O kits offered by incorporating 15 different schools. Each kit comes with two ice cube-like trays shaped like the university mascot. The kit also comes with two fruit flavored Jell-O packets in the university's colors. These collegiate Jell-o molds would be great for making alcoholic Jell-O shooters to celebrate game season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Collegiate-themed Party Supplies:** Opportunity for businesses to create other party supplies and decorations inspired by college mascots and teams. - **Customized Food Accessories:** Potential for companies to create customized molds and kits for other types of food, allowing consumers to make edible creations inspired by their favorite brands or themes. - **Sports-inspired Food Products:** Possibility for food companies to collaborate with sports teams or universities to create branded food products that fans can enjoy during game season. ### Who This Affects Most - **Party Supplies:** Party supply companies can tap into the market for collegiate-themed party supplies, such as decorations and tableware. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers can explore opportunities to create customized food accessories, like molds or packaging, that allow consumers to personalize their meals or snacks. - **Sports Merchandise:** Sports merchandise companies can expand their product offerings to include sports-inspired food products, bringing together the worlds of sports and food. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Gelatin Dessert-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jelly-collection.md) - [Next-Gen Gelatin Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelee.md) - [Quirky Edible Mascots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/team-sprinkles.md) - [Gelatin Dessert Jelly Beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-jelly-beans.md) - [Sophisticated Jello Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-wiggles.md) - [Edible Pastry Mascots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-mascot.md) - [Toaster Pastry Mascots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-tarts-bowl.md) - [Festive Jelly Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-cosmo-cocktail-jelly-cake.md) - [Sour Candy Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-candy-squares.md)
