What Are Umpire Lapel Pins?
Have you ever heard of an umpire pin? Do you even know what they are? Let us give you a quick rundown of their purpose and uses.
Umpire lapel pins are used at Little League games and tournaments as a way to connect with young players. They generally have the name of the umpire on them as well as the city and state where they come from. In addition to these identifying details, they typically include a neat design like an umpire mask with their number listed on it.
The thing that makes these pins even more unique is their ability to excite and engage youth. At sporting events, pin trading is a highlight. Players from around the world bring their collections of lapel pins with them to the game or tournament. These keepsake items are displayed in a pin bag, on a lanyard or a towel.
Coaches and umpires have joined in on the fun by having their very own custom trading pins created. They use these items at events like Cooperstown and the Little League World Series as a way of showing their support for young athletes. Like the players, they go home with a lot of memories as well as a collection of new pins to show off to their friends and family members.
Add-Ons Make Trading Pins Even More Appealing
The pins that are the most unique often get traded first. Team pins and umpire pins can include a variety of add-ons. Some of our most popular styles of trading pins include:
- Spinners. Spinning pieces make this type of trading pin interactive and fun.
- Sliders. Much like Spinners, Sliders can be moved which adds a sense of play to a traditional trading pin design.
- Blinkies. Blinking lights draw attention to pin designs.
- Danglers. A dangling charm adds to the visual pin of the trading pin.
