Custom Hockey Pins for Teams & Tournaments
Custom hockey pin trading at hockey tournaments is extremely popular and is a great way to show your team pride and trade with other team's players. Choose the Best Style for Your Hockey PinsSoft enamel pins are the most popular choice for hockey teams. Their recessed enamel areas create a textured surface, while raised metal lines clearly separate team colors, lettering and design elements. Photoscreen pins have a flat, polished surface and can reproduce gradients, small lettering, photographs and detailed hockey pin artwork. This style is especially useful for complex team crests that might be difficult to divide with metal lines. What Size Should a Hockey Trading Pin Be?The average hockey trading pin is approximately 1.75 inches. Most teams choose a 1.50-inch, 1.75-inch or 2.00-inch pin. Designs with numerous player numbers, long team names, detailed mascots or optional add-ons may need more space to remain readable and attractive. We will recommend a practical size after reviewing your artwork. A pin that is too small can make names, numbers and fine details difficult to read and may reduce its appeal during tournament trading. How Many Hockey Pins Does Your Team Need?An order of about 500 pins is common for hockey teams attending larger tournaments, although the right quantity depends on the number of teams and players who will trade. A useful starting point is one pin per player for each opposing team. For example, a team with 12 players attending a 40-team tournament may need approximately 480 pins. Consider ordering extras for coaches, sponsors, family members, collectors and players who want to keep one. Additional pins can also be sold as a team fundraiser. Custom Hockey Trading Pin Gallery
