There’s something magical about baseball season—the crack of the bat, the dust of the infield, and the excitement of tournaments and team spirit. And if you’ve ever been to a big tournament or state competition, you’ve probably seen kids (and coaches!) crowding around with one question on their minds: “Got baseball pins to trade?”
Welcome to the world of Baseball pins—a time-honored tradition that turns team pride into collectibles and memories.
What Are Trading Pins, Anyway?
Trading pins are custom-designed, colorful enamel pins created for your Little League® team. Each team has its own design—featuring mascots, team names, player numbers, tournament dates, and more. Players proudly wear the baseball pins, collect them, and trade them with other teams during tournaments.
It’s more than a game—it’s a bonding experience.
Why Get Custom Baseball Pins for Your Team?
- They Build Team Spirit
Nothing says “we’re in this together” like a custom baseball pin that represents your team’s identity. - They’re Tournament Traditions
If you’re headed to any major Little League® event, trading pins are part of the fun. Kids often say pin trading is one of their favorite parts of the weekend! - They’re Lasting Keepsakes
Win or lose, your season deserves to be remembered. Pins are a perfect memento for players and parents alike. - They Stand Out
A well-designed pin with cool features (glitter, spinners, sliders, glow-in-the-dark) makes your team memorable—on and off the field.
Tips for Designing Great Baseball Pins
- Include Your Mascot or Logo
Make your team stand out at first glance. - Add the Year or Tournament Name
Helps mark the memory (and makes them great for collectors later on). - Keep It Bold and Bright
Pins are small, so go for high-contrast colors and simple shapes that pop. - Go the Extra Mile
Consider special touches like glow enamel, glitter, or even a spinning baseball!
When Should You Order?
As early as possible! Pin season gets busy fast, especially before regional and state tournaments. Most teams order 6–8 weeks before their big event to ensure delivery and have time for trading.
