Trading pins are considered a big deal and given a lot of importance to in the case of team sports like basketball, baseball and softball. Little league baseball and softball which is very popular in the United States requires the teams to have individual pins so that the very many teams all have a distinguishing identity and something which the fans can associate with the team. There are many manufacturers who take orders to design and create custom made trading pins for baseball teams and the design, the creative approach and the inclusion of team logo all depend on the coach of the team and of course the management.

In case of Little League teams the choice of the trading pin design will depend entirely on the coach and the parents of the team members. It is best not to include everybody or too many parents while selecting the design of the trading pin because ultimately different people have different choices and you just cannot please everyone. A major decision should be taken by the coach and a few parents and the most common opinion should be considered. You can start by taking a look at various popular designs which the design companies will have on their catalog.

Also another thing which you must remember while ordering your custom trading pins is to order early. Nearly all teams place an order for sports pins at the same time and if you are an early bird then there is no possibility that your order will get delayed. The pin manufacturers take a minimum of about two weeks to complete your order and you should make sure you have placed your order well in advance.

You should try and be a little different when it comes to the design of your sport pin. You should try the get a unique design which has not been seen to used by any other team before and you should also look to include the team name in short or team logo or if the team has a mascot then even the face of the mascot or the mascot in miniature form. This should be done so that your team trading pin can easily be identified by people. Ensure that you order enough number of pins for all your team members. A minimum of 50 pins is considered ideal for a softball or baseball team and then you can also order some extra ones for friends and family members of the team members.

If you want your team pins to be popular among fans and the audience then you should add some trading power to them. Trading power refers to some extra elements on the pins which will make them popular so that fans will want to trade them. You can add some glitter, a few danglers or even sparkle to your pins to make them more attractive and more tradable. Unique and creatively designed trading pins go a long way and you will not have to change them within a few years to create a new look.
