They don\’t even hurt when you get them and unlike the thorn vine tattoo\’s, not everyone including the toll booth collector can get them. They\’re the Prep Sport Badges. We\’ve got new ones coming out all the time but let\’s take a look at what\’s in the system now exclusively for you….the players.

Basically, the Badges are there to put your own little mark on the site. If you\’re a player, you\’ll notice the spot right below your Player Profile video area. If you click on that space, a new page will pop up with different animated graphic rectangles…or badges. There are different badges specific to each sport which we\’ll get into in a bit. They\’re all animated and they\’re meant to show a player\’s attitude and sense of style. It\’s like an online version of your AJ 4\’s in black/cement. Some badges are based on certain achievements. Let\’s start with the first one on the system.

Exclusive Badges

The Pioneer Badge. This is one of our exclusive badges for the first few people to sign for an account from a school, a league, or a team. Once those spots are filled up, the Pioneer Badge is gone. It\’s a combination of a covered wagon and dragster and it shows that we will mish mash almost anything to make a point. There aren\’t too many spots for the Pioneer Badge but many others are available. Let\’s take a look.
High School Football Badges

As we mentioned above, the badges are by sport. For example, football has a whole slew of them and it\’s increasing all the time. You\’ll find some badges that are specific to a given position. For example, Shotgun is probably more of a quarterback badge while Fear and Loathing fits better with a linebacker unless you\’re the running back or quarterback and you\’re staring into those dark…angry eyes in the shadows of his helmet. We guess that goes both ways. You\’ll find lots of badges each with it\’s own design and animation. There\’s Ice Pack or Mud Ball. Smelling Salts is one of our favorites. Again, these are specific to high school football.

High School Basketball Badges

There\’s also a list of badges for high school basketball. Let\’s hope that Posterize is you doing it and not it being done to you. Dirty South is one of our favorites because there\’s nothing that says basketball like a mouth full of metal. Laimbeer is there for those old enough to remember how he was laying down fouls like he was swinging a side of beef. Go YouTube the bad boys of Detroit. Yea, he\’s got your pivot foot. If we had to pick our 3rd favorite, it would go out to Thieve\’s Den…a tribute to those players on the court who can practically read your mind and steal the pass. You can see it in their eyes…just waiting for you to try that pass. Props go out to the quickness.
High School Baseball Badges

Let\’s not forget high school baseball or softball. You can almost smell the fresh cut grass in the spring air. It\’s coming. The ritual is there and we have badges to capture this feeling of new prep sport baseball/softball action. Some badges are geared towards pitching such as Burn Notice or Cannon. Or course some are geared towards batting because let\’s face it…that\’s what we live for…that crack or ding of the bat like a piece of captured lightning on the field. Love it. Probably our favorite is Superstitious since we all have crazy notions on what\’s responsible for that last shut out or triple-play.

Let us know if there are any badges you would like to see. These things are fun so we\’ll keep putting them out. You keep earning them.
