Sports wall art in this shop comes in two kinds, and they get bought for different people. One is the patent drawing — the ball, the bat, the skate, exactly as an inventor filed it. The other is the picture frame with room for a photo of the player, bought by a parent, a grandparent or a whole team at the end of a season. Both are made to order in our family-owned shop in the USA.
What We Carry
Patent prints from the original drawings: baseball bats, gloves and an 1887 diamond; the football and the football helmet; the basketball, the goal and a 1971 high-top; hockey sticks, skates, helmets and nets; golf drivers, irons and bags; tennis rackets and the court; soccer balls, shoes and goals; boxing gloves and the speed bag; skis, poles, boots and goggles; skateboards; and the game-room shelf — billiard cues, tables and racks, bowling pins and balls.
Then the photo frames, one sport at a time: baseball, softball, football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, hockey, lacrosse, track and field, cheerleading, ballet and figure skating. Golfers get their own shelf of funny clubhouse quotes and A Golfer's Prayer. Coaches get a thank-you print, A Truly Great Coach Is Hard to Find.
Choosing Between Them
The patent drawings suit an adult who plays or follows a game seriously, and they belong in a den, an office or a basement bar. They are quiet on the wall and read as design first and sport second, which is why they sit comfortably beside other decor.
The photo frames are for a season, a team, a kid. Each has an opening where you slip in your own photograph — we print the design, you add the picture. That makes them the easy end-of-season gift for a whole roster, and the thing a grandparent actually keeps on the shelf.
Sizes, Frames And Canvas
Framed pieces come in four frame colors — Barnwood, Charcoal, Black, and Walnut — with an easel back, so they stand on a desk or a dresser as well as hang. The patent prints are on 1-inch gallery-wrapped canvas that hangs without nails or tools, with a floating frame available as an upgrade.
A Gift Note
For a coach, buy one frame and let the team fill it with a group photo; it lands better than anything with a slogan on it. For the player who has outgrown the trophies, a patent drawing of the gear they used for years is the grown-up version of the same idea. And for a game room, three patents from one sport hang together far better than three from different ones.
A Truly Great Coach Is Hard to Find Framed Print, Team Gift
A truly great coach is hard to find framed print sets that exact quote behind a huddle of joined hands and a misty team scene, ready to display as it arrives.
Difficult to part with and impossible to forget finishes the thought, honest words for the coach who gave a whole season to a team of players.
Made in the USA in four frame colors. The 4x10 and 8x8 stand on a shelf with the fold-out easel back or hang on the wall; the 11x14 hangs on the wall.
Ballet Picture Frame, A Live Laugh Love Dance Photo Keepsake
This ballet picture frame pairs the words Live, Laugh, Love, Dance with a place for a favorite recital photo, a keepsake made for the dancer in your life.
The four words sum up what a season of lessons and recitals is really about — effort, joy, and a genuine love for the stage.
We print the artwork, you add the photo when it arrives — the 8x8 takes a 4x6 print. Made in the USA in our small family shop, available in Barnwood, Charcoal, Black or Walnut.

Baseball Glove Patent Canvas Print, Vintage Sports Collector Wall Art
This baseball glove patent canvas print reproduces a hand-drawn design of an early laced fielder's mitt, stitched cuff and all.
The drawing shows the glove from four angles - the palm, the back, the open five fingers, and a cross-section of the padded roll - the way a patent office actually recorded a real piece of equipment.
Made in the USA in our family-owned shop, it holds securely without nails or tools and removes cleanly without holes or wall damage.
Baseball Picture Frame - A Home Run Keepsake for a Photo

Basketball Goal Patent Canvas Print, Vintage Ring and Net Wall Art
This basketball goal patent canvas print reproduces the 1924 U.S. patent drawing of a basket ring and diamond-mesh net bolted to a wall bracket, in warm sepia tones on gallery-wrapped canvas.
The drawing focuses on the goal itself - the ring, the net, and the flared wall bracket that holds it - a simple mechanical patent rather than a full basketball court scene.
Made in the USA and gallery-wrapped by hand, it holds securely without nails or tools and removes cleanly without holes or wall damage.
Basketball Patent Canvas Print, Vintage 1929 Basketball Wall Art
This basketball patent canvas print reproduces the laced-leather ball itself from a 1929 patent sheet, drawn panel by panel, for a den, office, or game room wall.
The hand-drafted linework studies the ball's stitched panels and seams the way the original patent drawing laid them out, the kind of piece basketball fans and vintage-patent collectors look for.
Made to order on gallery-wrapped canvas in our family-owned shop, it holds securely without nails or tools and removes cleanly without wall damage.

Basketball Shoe Patent Canvas Print, Vintage 1971 High-Top Wall Art
This basketball shoe patent canvas print reproduces a 1971 high-top sneaker design sheet, drawn sole to ankle collar, for a den, office, or game room wall.
The close-up study of the stitched upper, the padded ankle cushion, and the rubber toe bumper reads like an original patent-office drawing rather than a modern reprint, the kind of piece sneaker and basketball history collectors look for.
Made to order on gallery-wrapped canvas in our family-owned shop, it holds securely without nails or tools and removes cleanly without wall damage.
