Custom Trading Pins

Trading Pins for Baseball, Softball, Hockey, Soccer, Disney, Gymnastics and all other Sporting Events

Custom Trading Pins started gaining popularity many years ago in Little League Baseball and Softball Tournaments. Teams would bring baseball or Trading Pins to each tournament to trade with players from other teams that they were competing against. This created a lasting and more memorable experience for the kids as they took home a token of representation of all of the friends and competitors that they met during their tournaments.

Today Custom Trading Pins are popular among all team sports. Every year we design and produce thousands of trading pins for soccer, softball, hockey, football, gymnastics, swimming, basketball teams, and more. We create winning designs for events and organizations like Disney, Destination Imagination, and Odyssey of the Mind. The 2010 Winter Olympic Games hosted pin trading on a grand scale. This trading event was so large and exciting that it was taped and can be seen archived on such networks as MSNBC!

Most tournaments have a Pin Trading ceremony where all of the teams get together to trade pins with each other. This event is often the highlight of the tournament or event for the kids. Every year we hear from sports team Moms who say that the Pin Trading Night was the highlight of the tournament!

Trading Pin Option – Dangler

Trading Pin Dangler is a second custom Trading Pin, requiring a second mold and design. Typical attachment is via a “ring” but danglers can be attached to small jewelry chains. Danglers are used to designate special interest in your tournament, like the year of the tournament, a baseball, a glove, a softball, your state, your flag, the American flag, and many other possibilities. Most common danglers designate the year of the tournament. Example: teams can use the same trading pins design year after year and we can update the dangler each year to represent the current tournament.

Sliders require a “slot” to be cut into the die of the main trading pin, then the slider pin, which is a trading pin itself, will fit into the slot of the main pin. Sliders are eye appealing and give a sense of action to the trading pins. Common sliders include; players running a baseline, swinging bats and moving baseballs or softballs.
