Sports Ribbons

Sports award ribbons are a great way to celebrate the achievements of athletes in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as community events and competitions. These ribbons can provide a memorable memento for winners, and also help to create a sense of team spirit and inspire athletes to continue working hard towards their goals. Sports award ribbons for participants can also create a great memory.


Identification ribbons are a great way to identify attendees or key individuals at conferences and networking events. When customized with text, logos, and messaging, employees can identify themselves in a professional event in a visually outstanding manner. Identifications make for a simple and effective way for connecting with others.

Award ribbons come in different sizes and shapes, each with its own unique design. Here are the 5 types of award ribbons to consider:

  • Custom Ribbons

    Personalize with text, logos, and messages for your event needs. You can create a unique and memorable experience for everyone.

    These ribbons are pre-designed and available in a wide variety of colors and styles. They are convenient and affordable as off-the-shelf options for businesses with tight budgets or in urgent need of award ribbons.

  • Rosette Ribbons

    These ribbons feature a circular rose-like center, with ribbons that hang down from it.. Rosette ribbons are a traditional and elegant option. Typically great for horse racing, regional fairs, and exhibitions.

  • Neck Ribbons

    These are ribbons that are worn around the neck. They use the same rosette design, and can come with a clip or pin attachment. Typically, worn with pride by recipients for recognizing performance achievements.

  • Badge Ribbons

    Badge ribbons are not necessarily used for award purposes; they can also be used as name tags or attached to name tags. Therefore, they can be worn horizontally, unlike traditional award ribbons which are worn vertically. They are a great option for conferences and networking events as they can help attendees identify important individuals or promote a brand or message.
