A little ribbon. A lot of ballplayer personality. Meet BULLPEN Originals’ handmade softball ponytail streamers.
You may have seen them at our tournament table and wondered exactly what they are. The easiest way to explain a ponytail streamer is to show one being worn: a group of ribbons attached to a hair elastic, with the ribbon tails hanging down alongside a player’s ponytail.
It’s a simple way to add some BPO to a softball player’s game-day look. And because we make them by hand, the work behind each one is part of the story, too.
What are softball ponytail streamers?
Think of it as a ribbon accessory for your ponytail. Instead of forming a bow, the ribbons hang in streamers. You get the color and detail of the ribbon combination in a shape that follows the ponytail.
The example shown here brings purple and black together with yellow softball details, BULLPEN lettering, and #REPtheBOX. Seeing those pieces together makes a lot more sense than hearing us say “ponytail streamer” across a busy tournament table.
How do you wear a ponytail streamer?
Start with your player’s ponytail in place. Use the streamer’s hair elastic to attach it at the base of the ponytail, then arrange the ribbon tails so they hang down with the hair. The attached elastic is what holds the streamer in place.
The photo gives you a close look at the placement: the ribbons start at the ponytail holder and fall down the back. You can see both the softball-patterned ribbon and the wider BPO ribbons.
Handmade by BULLPEN Originals
These softball ponytail streamers are handmade by us. Each one is an assembled ribbon accessory, and the finished look depends on how the individual ribbons come together.
We want the details to look good up close, too. The mix of ribbon widths, colors, softball details, and BPO lettering is what gives the streamer its character. Those individual pieces should work together as a finished accessory.
For us, showing the making process matters. A look at the quality work behind the ponytail streamer helps tell the full story.
How to get softball ponytail streamers
Our softball ponytail streamers are packaged in select softball Award Box labels. They aren’t sold individually yet—the way to get one is to choose an Award Box that includes a streamer. Check the contents for the label you’re choosing, or ask us at the tournament table which softball boxes include one.
We usually match the streamer’s accent color to the eye black in that box. It’s a small detail that ties the gear together and gives each box its own coordinated look. The purple-and-black streamer pictured here is one example of how the ribbons come together.
Next time you see us at the tournament table, ask to see the softball Award Boxes that include a ponytail streamer. You can also browse BULLPEN Originals Award Boxes and gear online. Check the box contents before ordering so you know which gear comes with your player’s box.
Made by hand. Ready to rep the BULLPEN.
