Live Love Softball Blanket for Players and Fans

Live Love Softball Blanket opens with the game itself, shown in a grid of printed panels. Live Love Softball is the phrase most people will read first, and it says exactly what the people who play it already feel. You get a design built for players, coaches and the fans who never miss a game.

The design in detail

A bold collage fills the blanket, with each panel holding its own image or line. A yellow softball with red stitching sits at the center of one square, while crossed wooden bats appear in another. A batter in a dark silhouette swings through a pitch, and a cartoon player with a ponytail and sunglasses looks out from the top left corner. The lettering changes from panel to panel, from heavy black capitals to looping script, so the eye keeps moving across the blanket. Smaller icons, including a heartbeat line with a softball in the middle and a hand making a peace sign, fill the gaps between the larger pieces. Together they picture a whole season of the sport, from early practice to game day.

When it gets used

Players and coaches are the first people who will notice the references, from the “GAME DAY” label to the reminder to “KEEP CALM AND PLAY SOFTBALL.” A parent in the stands may read the same lines and think of every late drive to the field. Teammates often share a blanket like this in the locker room or on a bus ride home after a tough loss. You can also keep it on the couch after a long tournament weekend, when everyone is worn out and still talking about the last inning.

Good occasions

This is a natural pick for a team send-off or a surprise for a player on her birthday. It also makes a warm thank-you for a coach who has given a season to the team. Families often choose it for the last game of the year, when the whole crowd wants something to remember it by. You can choose between fleece and sherpa styles to match the mood of the gift.
