There is a growing trend among baseball and softball teams this year. Rather than order custom lapel pins for all of their players, coaches and parents are choosing to create challenge coins instead. The reason behind their decision varies but many want a way to stand out from the crowd.
Custom challenge coins allow them to do just that. Higher in perceived value, they are durable and weighty. Young athletes can run their fingers over the design on the coin and know that they were crafted with care. Coaches and parents see their value because of all of the features that can be included on each coin. This gives them additional opportunities to customize their coins in a way that makes them more tradeable.
Benefits of Trading Custom Challenge Coins
Here are some of the reasons why challenge coins are fitting for baseball and softball players:
More Bang For Your Buck Because Coins Are Double Sided. Rather than have a small area to work with, teams can take advantage of both sides of the coin. This allows them to include identifying information about the team, a logo or mascot, and even a photograph if they opt to use one.
Fit All Players Full Names and Numbers on Coins. Unlike trading pins which normally can only feature a player’s first name or number, custom challenge coins can include each athlete’s first and last name as well as their number.
Like trading pins, challenge coins can be customized in whatever way our customers see fit. We offer a variety of options that allow you to make your coins unique and attractive. For example, you may want to choose a decorative edge or 3D image. You may also want a cut out or sequential numbering added to your coin’s design. Details like these enhance the artwork that we create for you and help during tournaments where teams are seeking the best challenge coins and pins to trade for.
Since they were first created, custom challenge coins have been regarded as the highest of honors. If you really want to impress the other teams participating at your game or tournament, you’ll want to order coins for all of your players. Consider ordering some for yourself as well. Who doesn’t like trading with other teams? At many events during the season, this is a highlight.
