This year the Transit Musuem Society is forty years old!
We thought we’d like to celebrate by offering a specially decorated baseball cap. And to make sure that we have an unforgetable, unique, fantastic design, why not ask our super talented members if they have any ideas for a design! The designer with the winning entry will receive a prize of a free hat with their design embroided on it.
The deadline for entries is March 1st. Entries can either be computer-ready art, or even just a sketch. You can choose to incorporate elements of our logo, or strikeout on your own path. (If you need a copy of our logo in svg form, please just ask the webmaster@transitmuseumsociety.org — send your entry to me too. ) We will pick the winner at a future monthly meeting.
🧢 Standard Embroidery Dimensions for Baseball Caps
⭐ Front Center (most common)
- Recommended: 2.0–2.25″ high × 2–4″ wide
- Absolute max: ~2.25″ high × 5″ wide
- Taller than 2.25″ usually hits the curve of the crown or eyelets.
- Wider than 5″ starts wrapping too far around the sides.
⚠️ Technical Limits to Keep in Mind
- Minimum text height: ~3/16″ (0.1875″) to avoid blurring.
- Cannot embroider on the bill (must be done before hat manufacturing).
- Avoid placing designs above the eyelets—machines can’t stitch cleanly there.
Get those thinking caps (hats!) on….
