Senior night gets the spotlight, but the season is full of moments worth wearing. Here are ten ideas for team photo buttons, from the first game to the end-of-season banquet.

Game Day

1. The Parent Pin

Your player's photo, name and number on a 3″ button, easy to spot from across the field. Halo sports photo pin →

2. Matching Pins for the Stands

Grandparents, aunts and family friends in matching pins make the whole section feel like a team.

3. Siblings Get One Too

Younger brothers and sisters love a smaller 1.25″ pin of their own.

Tournaments and Travel Teams

4. Tournament Pins

Add the event name and year. Families trade them, and they become a collection by the end of the season.

5. Name and Number Pins for Bags

Clean, bold pins help sort a pile of identical team bags. Baseball, soccer, basketball, softball and volleyball name pins.

6. The Team Border in School Colors

Match the border to the uniform so every pin looks like part of the set. Halo sports photo pin →

End of the Season

7. Banquet Favors

A pin at every player's seat, with their photo and a line about their season, makes a simple, personal favor.

8. A Gift for the Coach

A team photo magnet for the coach's fridge or office says thank you every day. Custom photo magnets →

9. Milestone Pins

First goal, first home run, a personal record. Put the date on it.

10. Then and Now

A photo from their first season next to this one. Parents always love this one.
