Being successful in sports comes down to practice, conditioning, and skill with a little luck mixed in. But it also comes down to making sure your personnel have access to the proper equipment — and that goes for the referees as much as the players on the pitch. One often-overlooked piece of gear is the coin used to kick the match off. By the time the goals have been scored and the penalty kicks taken, everyone has forgotten about the little piece of metal that started it all. A custom flipping coin makes sure that crucial opening ceremony doesn’t go unrecognized.
For over 26 years, Signature Coins has provided custom sports coins and medals for teams, leagues, tournaments, and organizations of every size. In that time we’ve streamlined our order and delivery process to three simple steps designed around your schedule. Tell us your idea, work with our art team on a free proof, and we’ll ship the finished coins in 14 days or fewer.
Why Use a Custom Soccer Flipping Coin?
In soccer, when the referee and team captains head to the center of the pitch at the beginning of the match, the captains are vying for the chance to determine which goal their team will be attacking in the first half. The team that wins the toss gets its choice of direction, which means the team that loses the toss starts the game with possession of the ball. Both decisions are reversed at the start of the second half.
The decision the coin toss determines can have far-reaching implications. The captains’ choice is as much about the immediate impact of the first half as it is about the second. If conditions favor one direction at the end of the game — with the placement of the sun, or with the wind at your back — it can be worth making the call with those late-game conditions in mind.
Unlike in football, the soccer coin toss is only used once in a match. Most soccer games are fine to end in a draw if no team has the edge at the end of regulation, but in important tournaments like the World Cup, crucial games are decided by an overtime period. Possession in overtime isn’t determined by another coin flip — it simply continues to swap as it did at the start of the second half.
A soccer flipping coin can also be a personal possession for the referee who carries it. With each coin uniquely customizable, presenting one to an official in recognition of a job well done is easy. Being given a soccer flipping coin can have the effect of making a referee feel seen and appreciated for the work they do. On top of providing a unique keepsake, you give the official an interesting and important tool for performing a crucial part of their job.
Ordering Your Custom Soccer Flipping Coin
At Signature Coins, we’ve broken the custom coin ordering process down into three easy steps:
