Redheaded Sign Company Completes 300+ Piece Team Signage Project for Oak Park Falcons

Seven reusable tournament banners, 150 yard signs, 150 vehicle magnets, and team decals carry Falcons identity from softball fields into the Oak Park community.

OAK PARK, IL, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Redheaded Sign Company has completed a coordinated youth sports signage project for the Oak Park Falcons, the travel softball program operated by Oak Park Youth Baseball & Softball (OPYBS). The project brought together custom tournament banners, player yard signs, vehicle magnets, and decals to create a consistent Falcons identity across tournament venues, homes, vehicles, and the wider Oak Park community.

The project included seven reusable team banners, 150 custom yard signs, 150 vehicle magnets, and team decals. Rather than treating the products as separate orders, Redheaded Sign Company developed them as one coordinated visual system, adapting the Falcons branding to different sizes, viewing distances, and real-world applications.

Helping Each Falcons Team Stand Out Without Losing the Shared Identity
The Oak Park Falcons include competitive girls’ softball teams across several age groups, so the same artwork could not simply be dropped onto every product at the same proportions. A banner viewed across a tournament field has different visibility needs than a yard sign, vehicle magnet, or decal seen up close.

Redheaded Sign Company adapted the Falcons' design for each format while keeping the core branding recognizable. That gave each team signage suited to how and where it would be seen, without making the overall program look disconnected.

Reusable Softball Banners Designed for Tournament Visibility
The seven custom team banners became the project's most prominent tournament elements. Installed along fences and around dugouts, they gave individual Falcons teams a visible marker during busy weekend tournaments while reinforcing their connection to the overall Falcons program.

We also designed the banners around what happens before and after the game. Coaches needed to put them up, take them down, transport them, store them, and bring them back for future tournaments.

And because this is Chicagoland, the weather deserves a mention. Outdoor signage can face changing conditions throughout a season, so the intended use and environment matter when selecting a signage format. Working with a local sign company also means working with people familiar with how quickly those conditions can change and how outdoor signage will actually be used here.

For youth sports programs that return to the field throughout the season, reusable banners can provide a consistent team presence without starting over with new signage at every tournament.

Extending Falcons Pride Throughout Oak Park
The project was designed to reach beyond the softball field.

Families displayed the 150 custom yard signs outside their homes, giving individual players recognition while creating visible pockets of Falcons support around Oak Park. The 150 vehicle magnets gave parents, coaches, and supporters a removable way to represent the organization while traveling to games or moving throughout Oak Park and the surrounding Chicago area. Decals also gave players and families another way to show their connection to the program.

Together, these products transformed what could have been a collection of individual signs into a broader community branding program.

Responsive Signage Support for a Volunteer-Run Organization
Because OPYBS relies on volunteers, coaches, families, and community members, the signage process also needed to remain straightforward for the people coordinating the project.

Redheaded Sign Company focused on responsive communication, design assistance, production coordination, and efficient delivery throughout the project. According to client feedback, the company's responsiveness, creativity, and quick processing were particularly important to the experience.

Falcons Signage Draws Interest From Other Local Sports Organizations
The completed Falcons signage also attracted attention beyond the organization itself. According to the project case study, other local baseball and softball organizations expressed interest in similar banners, yard signs, and vehicle magnets after seeing the Falcons materials.

This interest gives us another useful takeaway from the project: sports signage doesn't need every piece to do the same job. Banners can identify teams around the field, yard signs can recognize individual players at home, and vehicle magnets can travel with families to games. What connects them is a design system that still looks unmistakably like the same organization.

Because the Falcons artwork has already been adapted across several formats, OPYBS also has an established visual foundation it can carry into future teams and seasons.
