Tips on buying the baseball team trophies

If you are buying the trophies for your baseball team you have an endless number of choices. Here are some guidelines that will make the job a little easier and help you cross it off your to do list quicker.

There is a wide verity of trophies available. Everything from the classic resin and plastic trophies to the action packed bobble head and spinners. Spinners are trophies that have the baseball spin around.

If you are buying for a younger team they like the bobble head and spinner trophies. There are also tee ball trophies available for the young ones.

If you are buying for a little older group that takes the game a little more serious they usually like a little more serious trophy. There are a number of trophies that feature a figure batting, or throwing and there are some very nice glove trophies as well. The older players might like something like that. Plaques also make nice awards and some will have a place to insert the team picture for a nice keep sake.

The trophy should be engraved using the latest computer driven laser engraving technology. Some engravers will sublimate the text which is like printing on medal and works fine.

The text to be engraved on the trophy should be the players name on the top line. The team name on the second line. You can put the date or season on the third line. Some like to put the sponsor or league on a fourth line but that difficult to fit on the small medal plate and will usually require an additional engraving charge.

You can purchase the trophies at a store or online. The trophy stores online deal in large volume and can sometimes be less expensive. You can also save the tax when you order online. If you do order them online just make sure you order early enough to allow for production and shipping. If you get a couple of teams to order together you will save on the shipping. Most online stores need a week to ten days to deliver the trophies.

Weather you order at a store or online when you order have a list of the players names spelled correctly and any other text you want. When ordering online you will put the names in when checking out, or you can e-mail it. If you are engraving any kind of art or logo you will need to send that as a jpg file. Make sure you enter all the text exactly the way you want it on the trophies.

Send off the order and you are ready to cross another thing off your to do list. With that taken care of you can get to work on the end of year party. Good luck and have a great season.
