Shop USA Rush Pins arrow_forward
Sports pins are soft enamel or die struck lapel pins that carry a team or league logo, mascot, or season design. Unlike trading pins — which are made specifically to be swapped between teams at tournaments — sports pins are worn as a badge of team pride: on letterman jackets, backpacks, coach polos, and booster-club gear.
Common uses include season-end awards, senior-night gifts, booster club fundraisers, coach and volunteer recognition, and league championship keepsakes. One design carries the whole program — players wear it all season, and fans and parents wear it in the stands.
Most sports pins are produced as soft enamel, which renders team colors, crests, and mascots crisply and affordably. For a classic all-metal varsity look — popular with award and championship pins — die struck pins offer an elegant finish with no enamel color.
Every order includes free artwork and a free pre-production proof, starts at just 100 pins with 7–10 business day production, and ships free across the US.
We produce sports pins for soccer, basketball, football, baseball, softball, track and field, wrestling, cheer, swim, and more — matching your team colors and crest exactly. Send your logo or a rough sketch and our designers turn it into pin-ready artwork for free.
Antique gold and antique silver platings are popular for a varsity look, while bright gold and silver plating suits championship and all-star pins. Up to 7 Pantone-matched colors are included at no extra charge, so team colors come out true.
Whether it's a single design for a championship run or pins for every team in the league, many programs also order matching sports patches and sports medals to round out the season's awards.
It's the most common question we get from coaches and team parents. Sports pins are a single design worn to represent the team all season — on jackets, bags, and hats. Trading pins are made in bulk specifically to be swapped with opposing teams at tournaments, so they're built to be traded, not kept on one jacket.
If your team is headed to a tournament and needs pins to trade, see our Tournament & Trading Pins page for spinners, danglers, glitter, and other trade-worthy upgrades — including dedicated baseball trading pins and softball trading pins. If you want a pin the team wears with pride all year, you're in the right place.

What are custom sports pins?
Answer
Custom sports pins are soft enamel or die-struck lapel pins that carry a team or league logo, mascot, or season design. They’re worn as a badge of team pride — on letterman jackets, backpacks, coach polos, and booster-club gear. Common uses include season-end awards, senior-night gifts, booster club fundraisers, coach and volunteer recognition, and league championship keepsakes.
What's the difference between sports pins and trading pins?
Answer
Sports pins are a single design worn to represent your team all season. Trading pins are made in bulk specifically to be swapped with opposing teams at tournaments — with spinners, danglers, glitter, and other trade-worthy upgrades. If your team is headed to a tournament and needs pins to trade, start with our Tournament & Trading Pins page instead.
What is the minimum order for custom sports pins?
Answer
The minimum order for custom sports pins is 100 units, with no cap on the high end. Larger quantities lower your per-unit price — check our pricing page for volume discounts. Production takes 7–10 business days after artwork approval, and all orders include free artwork and free priority air shipping to the US.
Can you match our exact team colors?
Answer
Yes. Send your logo or crest and we’ll Pantone-match your team colors during free artwork proofing, so the finished pins match your uniforms and gear. Up to 7 colors are included at no extra charge. Soft enamel is the most popular style for colorful crests and mascots; die struck pins deliver a classic all-metal varsity look.
How fast can we get pins before the season starts?
Answer
Standard production is 7–10 business days after artwork approval, plus free priority air shipping to the US. If you’re working against a season opener, senior night, or tournament date, tell us when you request a quote and we can advise on timing or rush options.
Do you offer sports pins for booster clubs and fundraising?
Answer
Yes. Soft enamel pins are a popular low-cost fundraiser for booster clubs and athletic departments — sold at games and events or given as thank-yous to sponsors and volunteers. Volume pricing makes larger runs practical, and many programs pair them with sports medals for end-of-season awards.
