7 Ideas To Create Football Badges & Keyrings
"Football, it's a funny old game."
Jimmy Greaves, one of England's greatest-ever goal scorers, coined this immortal phrase on his football panel show "Saint & Greavsie" in the 1980s.
And he's not wrong.
Football fandom ranges from travelling the length and breadth of the continent following your team no matter what to buying full kits (including socks and shinnys) to wear at five-a-side, much to the amusement of your mates.
The products we make for professional football clubs, grassroots teams, and footy fans all over the UK are much more affordable and way less likely to get insults hurled your way.
Check out some of the products we've made for our clients to get inspiration for your football merch.
Classic Football Team Crests & Logos
The classic team crest or logo is the most obvious choice for a football badge or keyring. These timeless symbols represent the club's history and pride. Their bold colours and distinctive designs instantly connect fans with their favourite teams.
Football Player Pin Badges
Got a favourite football player? Want to immortalise an iconic celebration against your mortal enemies in pin badge form? We can use a hattrick of techniques (soft or hard enamel, epoxy coating, and screen printing) to create epic scenes like this pin badge showing Brian Laudrup's heroic celebration after scoring a goal to clinch Ranger's 9th successive league title.
Turn Chants into Keyrings & Enamel Pins
One of the best things about being a football fan is standing on the terraces (showing our age) and singing your heart out to spur your team to victory. One of our clients designed this fantastic keyring, echoing the chant that rang around St James Park to carry the Barcodes to Champions League qualification in 2023.
Supporters Club Enamel Pins & Keychains
Supporters clubs are the lifeblood of football fandom. These organisations are run by everyday football fans who volunteer their time to arrange trips to matches and bring like-minded supporters together. Supporters club merch is a cost-effective way of repping your club and raising a few quid to put towards these organisations' everyday running costs.
Football Charity Pin Badges
Football in the UK has long been a champion of the good cause. Moreover, in recent times, professional teams have used their platforms and high status to raise much-needed funds for charities, like the Crystal Palace Foundation did earlier this year with these high-quality hard enamel pin badges.
Football Shirts & Kits
We can turn classic (or modern) football shirt designs into custom keyrings or pin badges so the old guard can remember the good old days. Check out this keying of the 1994 Republic of Ireland shirt worn by that year's heroic World Cup squad.
Commemorate Your Club's Achievements
The cycle of football can see teams out in the wilderness for decades at a time, so it's important to celebrate all your club's achievements, no matter how large or small. We created this celebratory badge for @lpoolpins to commemorate Liverpool's historic 19th league title in 2020.
