Us softball players know just how important our equipment bags are. They allow us to easily transport all of our gear from one location to another, on buses, in cars, through buildings, across fields, you name it. In short, we are extremely grateful for our softball bags.
However, it is exceptionally easy to get your bag mixed up with another player’s– especially when your entire team has the exact same bags! Not only that but some softball bags are just, erm, lacking in the aesthetic and design department.
And that brings us to the purpose of this article today: fun ways to decorate our softball and other equipment bags! By decorating your bag, you can never confuse it with another teammate’s again and simply be proud to show off your bag every chance you get. Without further ado, here are out seven fun ways to decorate your softball bag!
1.Tie on Some Colorful Ribbons
We all know just how integral those colorful ribbons are in softball, as they make for vibrant yet practical hair accessories while playing our favorite sport. But, that’s not the only purpose they can serve for you. You can take these ribbons and also tie them to your bag!
You can loop and tie them onto your handles, straps, and even your zippers (that can make zipping and unzipping your bag far more convenient and swift, too!). These ribbons will make your bag even more attractive and instantly distinguishable.
2.Sew on Some Patches of Places You’ve Played
When you travel for softball, you know just how thrilling each and every trip can be! Whether you are going to a nearby town for a quick scrimmage or you are going to a weekend tournament in a completely different state, this adventure can be a joyous one for you, your team, and your family!
When visiting these places, you can purchase souvenirs to forever remember them. One fine example of such a great souvenir is patches. You can buy patches, which can boast whatever design you’d like, then sew them onto your bag. That way, you’ll remember that special trip every time you look at your bag all the while sporting a cool and unique decoration!
3.Draw Softball Symbols or Other Designs with Gel Pens
For those artists and creatives out there who enjoy their craft, you can easily add your own designs to your bag with gel pens! Gel pens allow you to easily draw your preferred designs right onto your bag, including softball symbols or anything else that fits your preference.
Gel pens perfectly bend to the will of your bag’s awkward ridges and other rougher configurations, leading to stunning designs of any kind. Plus, they stay on your bag for an impressively long time and are water-resistant!
4.Write Your Name, Number, and/or Team Name with Gel Pens
While you can of course use gel pens to draw specific images and abstract elements, you can also use them to simply write on your bag, too! You can write your name, your jersey number, and/or your team name right on your bag. You’ll easily be able to find your bag amongst the masses but also be representing your team and yourself so perfectly.
5.Embroider/Sew Your Name, Number, and/or Team Name
If you don’t consider yourself a sketch artist or Picasso-like painter, don’t like the look of gel pens, or whatever other reason for not being interested in point #4, you can also embroider/sew these elements instead.
Choosing to embroider your name, team name, and/or number will create a cleaner look and will truly stay in place for good.
6..Add Fun Keychains from Places You’ve Played
Remember what we said about adding patches that you’ve purchased from places you’ve played? Well, if you don’t feel like opting for patches (because, really, some of us don’t want to sew something to our bags), you can choose keychains instead!
Wherever you travel to play ball, you can easily locate keychains there, purchase them, then seamlessly hook them onto your bag’s handles and even zippers. You can show off the places you have gone to, recall memories from there, and have a fun accessory to your bag! Plus, they’re easily removable if need be.
7.Make Your Own Softball Tag and Tie It On
You know how suitcases can often have tags on them, which clearly indicate personal information, like your name and address for safekeeping? You can do the very same for your softball bag! You can create your own softball tag (or you can buy one, of course), then put whatever information you’d like on there.
Not only will softball tags ensure that your bag isn’t ever lost or confused for another bag, but it will have a unique and personalized element to it, only boosting its attractiveness!
Decorating softball bags is a fun and creative experience for all! If you’re on the hunt for high-quality softball and/or baseball bags to decorate, by the way, be sure to check out our extensive collection today!
