TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - It's not just fans who are excited about the Seminoles National title win, local businesses are celebrating the big victory too.

We spotted signs around the Capital City, cheering on the FSU softball team for winning the National Championship.

Madison Social is selling sets of pint glasses with a special design that has the "Cardiac Kids" nickname.

Several businesses, not just in CollegeTown, are showing FSU some love.

Advanced Business Systems changed its sign outside to congratulate the Noles on their national title.

Barefoot Campus Outfitter was so busy Wednesday morning that the manager had to call in more staff.

We spoke to an employee at Advanced Business Systems who's a Tallahassee native and FSU grad.

He said he stayed up Tuesday night to watch the game. He said after the final out, he was happy and relieved at the same time.

"I was kind of scared to watch the last one, but I didn't want to miss it, so it was very up and down and obviously, it worked out for the best. It was great," said Scott Tharpe, Major Account Sales Rep at Advanced Business Systems. "I think it's wonderful for the university, for everyone involved here in Tallahassee. A great group of girls, we're just extremely proud of them."

There wasn't any specific merchandise about the softball champions, but people streamed in and out of Barefoot to grab plenty of FSU gear. They even played a re-run of the title game on TV.

As for those Madison Social glasses, you can pre-order them online through Monday. The company expects to ship them at the start of next month.
