Umpire Trading Pins Are a Hit at Summer Tournaments

Trading pins are not just for the players and coaches but umpires as well.  This provides them with the opportunity to trade with other empires and with the players from teams all across the U.S.  In addition to making new friends, they also get to collect pins from every state in the nation.  Who doesn't love having a big and varied collection of custom trading pins in their possession?

At Cooperstown and the Little League World Series, pin trading is an anticipated event.  Every bit as exciting as the tournament itself, players, coaches, and umpires from all over the world gather together to show off their trading pin collections.  They get to decide which pins are worth parting with and which ones are worth hanging onto.  They also get to make offers to other traders in regards to their custom trading pins.  This makes for a fun, friendly, and interactive experience each year.

Umpires Play Big Role at Games and Tournaments

Without the help of umpires (which a large majority are volunteers), the summer tournaments that kids love to attend would not be possible.  These professionals are a major part of the entire baseball and softball experience.  That's why they all should have their very own pins to trade. 

Games and tournaments bring people together which makes it the perfect opportunity to trade pins.  The more attractive the pin the better the chance it will be traded first.  That's where we are the most helpful.  We have helped design thousands of pins throughout the years and we know what qualities make them tradable.  Spinners, sliders, blinkies, bobble heads, and danglers are all popular trading pin styles.

Classic Design Proves Umpires Mean Business

The umpires that we have created custom lapel pins like to incorporate an image of an umpire in a classic stance like calling balls and strikes behind the plate, or standing in the ready position down one of the base lines.  They also incorporate the city or state where they hail from as a way to personalize their pins.  Details like these add to the overall appearance of the custom trading pins and give them higher perceived value.

Part of the appeal of custom products is the ability to make them personal and meaningful for the people that order them.  That's why we go above and beyond what is asked from us so our customers can get the umpire pins that they envisioned.  We can take any idea or concept and turn it into a quality pin that everyone wants in their collection.
