Sports team embroidery ideas

Popular sports team embroidery projects are player names on jerseys, coach and parent polos, duffel and equipment bags, towels, caps and end-of-season gifts. A ball for the sport or a trophy with the team name and year suits most of them, and a batch of names keeps every player's gear matching.
