Basketball Trading Pins

Basketball Trading Pins help school teams, community squads and basketball camps carry a recognizable identity into player exchanges and season keepsakes. Build the design around an original team name, colors and either a mascot or basketball-focused visual.

The designs shown above use mascot-led, ball-led and hoop-led layouts as inspiration rather than fixed templates. Submit your own references or explore the custom trading pins collection for more ways to organize team artwork.

• Product format: Custom basketball team trading pins based on approved artwork.
• Size choices: 1.5 in / 38 mm; 1.75 in / 44 mm; 2 in / 50.8 mm; 2.25 in / 57 mm; 2.5 in / 63.5 mm; 2.75 in / 69.9 mm; 3 in / 76.2 mm.
• Artwork inputs: Team name, approved mascot or logo, color references and any player, season, camp or event wording.

• Lead with the mascot: Place the school or team character in the main visual area, then add a smaller basketball or court detail so the sport is clear without competing with the identity.
• Lead with the basketball theme: Use a ball, hoop or backboard as the central shape and keep the camp or team name in a separate readable text area.

For a season keepsake such as Senior Night, add the year or short event wording only after the team name and main visual are clear. If player numbers vary, list each version and quantity while keeping the shared artwork consistent.

1. Share the team brief. Send the artwork or concept, exact wording, color references, selected size, quantity, budget and required in-hand date.
2. Review the quote and proof. Check spelling, team colors, mascot or basketball details, season wording and any player-version quantities at the proposed size.
3. Approve production. Confirm the final artwork, complete quantity, quote and agreed schedule before production begins.

Can our school or team mascot be the main design?

Yes. Send the clearest available mascot file and color references, then identify which facial or uniform details must remain recognizable. Provide permission when the artwork belongs to a school or another rights holder.

Can we add player numbers?

Yes. Provide one final list with the exact number and quantity for every version. Keep the number area simple enough to remain clear at the selected size.

What do you need for an initial quote?

Send the artwork or concept, selected size, total quantity, any version breakdown, budget and required in-hand date. Note which design element must remain most prominent.
