1. DIE STRUCK OR OFFSET

Offset Pins are best when you have lots of color or a team roster of players

2. TEAM NAME

2. Is your city and state part of that name?

Will you want it all on the pin?

What font is to be used?

3. MASCOTS

Mascots are a powerful way to build recognition. If you don’t have one, the designer will often be able to incorporate one into your pin.

Example: If your team is called “The Pirates” be sure and let the designer know if you prefer a friendly pirate or a scary one.

4. YOUR STATE

If you want to represent your state on your teams pin, you might consider it as a background of the pin or a home plate in a baseball diamond, or even a dangle (additional fee would apple)

If you want your state to be altered to fit the pin better, then make sure to mention that. If you prefer it to appear exactly as shown on a map, mention that also.

5. TEAM COLORS

Team colors are important for your pin.

If you already have a PMS color scheme for your team be sure to share it with the designer. If not, then be as descriptive as possible such as “burnt orange” “neon orange” or “red orange”.

Pin designers will almost always need to use a third and fourth color to balance the design.

6. ROSTER OR NO ROSTER

Rosters can really help to personalize a pin and give it unique quality.

If you choose to add a team roster, the pin should be at least 1.75”

You can incorporate rosters different ways such as Player number, or full names. It can be displayed in baseballs or softballs, fanned out bats, gloves or even stars.
