Baseball season offers teams plenty of opportunity to trade pins with one another at games and tournaments. This simple act has become a big part of sports culture with players from around the world donning and swapping pins with other players, spectators, coaches, and umpires.
The Californian Crushers contacted us with a really unique idea for trading pins. They wanted to ensure that their pin was traded the most at the tournaments they attended. We took their idea and created a puzzle pin according to their specifications. The more unique the trading pin is, the more sought after it is at tournaments. This is especially true with puzzle piece lapel pins.
The two piece puzzle pin that we created for the Crushers is rich in symbolism and text. It is easy to see where the team comes from because the state of California is present in the pin’s design. The team’s name is also included in the design along with 2011. Details like these add appeal to trading pins because of their relevance and sentimental value.
What Is a Puzzle Pin?
Here’s how puzzle pins work. They ultimately consist of multiple pieces that fit together to form one pin. That’s why they resemble a puzzle. Although each “piece” can be worn individually, players prefer to have all of the pieces so that they can have the larger completed image. You can see players from all over the world running around the tournament trying to collect all of one team’s pins. This allows them to have the most sought after collection of trading pins possible.
