Definitions
- This document relates generally to the sports equipment field and, more particularly, to pads, football pads and sports uniforms including a three dimensional image element for projecting through and ornamenting the sports uniform.
- U.S. Patent 4,591,521 to Freno et al. discloses a three dimensional fabric design wherein novelty or decorative fabrics with printed images include foam plastic pads to provide a three dimensional effect. More particularly, the foam pads are shaped to the outline of the printed image and are sewn permanently in position.
- U.S. Reissued Patent RE37,533 to Beige et al. discloses costumes with semi-rigid fabric components as well as a method of making the same.
- the underlying pads in the Freno et al. reference are permanently secured to the back side of the fabric and are aligned with a design printed on the face of the fabric.
- the semirigid components are a permanent part of the costume. While such a construction is suited for adding three dimensional features to novelty or decorative fabrics and costumes, there is no disclosure in these references of ornamenting sports uniforms such as football pants, football jerseys, or other sports equipment with three dimensional ornamentation or embellishment. Further, the permanent attachment of the pads to the fabric explicitly taught in these references is unsuited for such a purpose.
- This document relates to a three dimensional pad for wearing under sports clothing to produce a desired image through that sports clothing.
- the pad includes a three dimensional image element that is secured to the front face of the pad whereby when the pad is positioned underneath a tight fitting, exposed fabric area of the sports clothing an image outline is produced in the exposed fabric area.
- the three dimensional image element may be in the shape of a player number or a logo.
- logo refers to letters, words, numbers, names, trademarks, mascots, images, stripes, designs and other three dimensional shapes that may commonly identify or be used by athletic teams, athletes and individuals.
- “pad” includes football thigh pads, football shoulder pads, football kidney pads, football tailbone pads, all other football pads, shin guards, knee pads, elbow pads, and all other pads associated with sports in general.
- a three dimensional pad for wearing under sports clothing to produce a desired image through that sports clothing comprises a removable pad including a body having a front face and a rear face, and a three dimensional image element that is secured to the front face of the body whereby when the pad is positioned underneath an exposed fabric area of the sports clothing an image outline is produced.
- the three dimensional image element is in the shape of a logo such as a team logo or player number.
- the three dimensional image element is tapered outwardly from a central area toward an outer edge so that the central area projects a greater distance from the front face of the pad body than does the outer edge.
- football pants comprise a pants body including a pocket for receiving a football pad and a removable football pad.
- the removable football pad includes a pad body having a front face, a rear face and a three dimensional image element secured to the front face.
- That three dimensional image element may be provided in the shape of a logo such as a team logo. Further the three dimensional image element may be tapered outwardly from a central area toward an outer edge so that the central area projects a greater distance from the front face of the pad body than does the outer edge.
- the pocket is open at one end to allow the football pad to be inserted and removed from the pocket as desired.
- the exposed fabric area is a first color and the image element is a second, different color that is darker than the first color and shows through the exposed fabric area.
- the front face of the pad is also the first color. In one possible embodiment that first color is white.
- a method of promoting a sports team comprises the steps of wearing a pad with a three dimensional image element under sports clothing of the sports team, producing a three dimensional image or embellishment projecting through an exposed fabric area of the sports clothing overlying the pad and providing that image in a shape of a logo. Still further that method includes using the exposed fabric area of the sports clothing having a first color and the three dimensional image element having a second color that is darker than the first color and shows through the exposed fabric area.
- a method of ornamenting a sports team uniform comprises wearing a pad with a three dimensional image element under the sports team uniform and producing a three dimensional image projecting through an exposed fabric area of the sports team uniform overlying the pad.
- This method further includes providing the image element in a shape of a logo such as a team logo.
- the method includes providing the image element in a shape of a player number.
- a kit for ornamenting a sports uniform.
- the kit comprises a three dimensional image element and a fastener that secures the image element to the sports uniform or a pad worn under the sports uniform.
- the kit further includes instructions.
- the three dimensional image element is in a shape of a logo.
- the three dimensional image element is in a shape of a player number.
- the kit includes an adhesive.
- the kit includes a hook and loop fastener.
- the adhesive, the hook and loop fastener or any other means may be utilized to secure the three dimensional image element to the sports uniform or a pad worn under a sports uniform.
- a method of ornamenting a team uniform comprises purchasing a kit including a three dimensional image element having a shape selected from a group consisting of a player number, a logo and combinations thereof and securing the three dimensional element under an exposed fabric area of the team uniform. Further the method includes securing the three dimensional element to a front face of a sports pad. In addition the method includes inserting the pad into a pad pocket in a team uniform so that the three dimensional image element projects an image through the exposed fabric area overlying the pad.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the sports pad including the three dimensional image element.
- Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the full pad with the three dimensional image element secured to the front face of the pad.
- Figure 3 is a detailed cross sectional view of football pants including a pocket holding a pad with a three dimensional image element.
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a kit for ornamenting sports clothing or a sports uniform including a three dimensional image element, a fastener and instructions.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view illustrating how a three dimensional element may be tapered from an inner area toward an outer edge to enhance the three dimensional image outline it produces in the overlying exposed fabric area of a sports uniform.
- Figures 6a-6d illustrate various three dimensional elements for producing different image outlines.
- Figure 7 is a side elevational view illustrating an image element incorporating a background sheet which covers ridges or other surface variations on a front face of a football pad and effectively prevents them from interfering with or distorting the desired image that projects through the exposed fabric area covering the image element.
- Figure 8 is a rear elevational view of a background sheet illustrating the adhesive covered margin area.
- FIGS 1-3 generally illustrate a three dimensional pad 10 for wearing under sports clothing 22 to produce a desired image outline 30 through that sports clothing.
- the pad 10 includes a body 12 having a front face 14 and a rear face 16.
- the pad includes a three dimensional image element 18 that is connected to the front face 14 by means of a fastener 20 such as a layer of adhesive or a hook and loop fastener system such as sold under the trademark VELCRO.
- the image element 18 may include a three dimensional logo 19 alone or a combination of logo 19 and background sheet 50 as illustrated that is mounted directly to the front face 14 of the pad 10.
- FIG. 3 generally shows sports clothing 22 such as football pants.
- the football pants 22 include a pocket 24 adapted for receiving a pad 10 which is inserted into the pocket through an open end 26.
- the pad 10 is properly inserted into the pocket 24, the three dimensional image element 18 is located directly underneath a tight fitting exposed fabric area 28 of the pants.
- a three dimensional image outline 30 is produced through the exposed fabric area so as to ornament the sports clothing 22 in a unique and exciting manner.
- the kit 40 includes at least one three dimensional image element 18 and a fastener 20 that is used to secure the three dimensional image element directly to the sports uniform or a pad 10 worn under the sports uniform that is to be ornamented.
- the kit 40 includes a sheet of precut number logos 19 and an optional background sheet 50 which may be cut into any desired shape and positioned between the three dimensional logo 19 and the front face 14 of the pad 10.
- the background sheet 50 may be made from a contrasting color relative to the image element 18 in order to highlight and embolden the image element.
- the background sheet 50 may also be used to cover ridges and/or other surfaces features of the pad 10 in order to prevent them from interfering with the image outline 30 formed in the sports uniform by the logo 19 of the image element 18.
- the kit 40 includes a set of instructions 42 detailing how to use the kit and ornament a sports uniform or other clothing.
- the three dimensional image element 18 is provided in the shape of a logo such as a team logo or perhaps a particular player' s number.
- the image element 18 is tapered outwardly from a central area or inline 44 toward an outer edge or outline 46 so that the central area or inline projects a greater distance from the front face 14 of the pad 10 than does the outer edge or outline (see Figure 5).
- the exposed fabric area 28 of the sports clothing 22 is a first color while the three dimensional image element 18 is a second, different color.
- the image element 18 may be darker then the first color to show through the exposed fabric area, highlight the image outline 30, and provide a hologram-like appearance.
- the front face 14 of the pad 10 is also provided in the first color, matching the color of the exposed fabric area 28. In yet another embodiment that first color is white.
- the three dimensional image element 18 may be solid, hollow, and outlined or a combination.
- a "shamrock" logo the shape of the shamrock may be cut out of a 3 mm thick piece of foam. The cutout shamrock could be pulled from the foam and adhered to a thigh pad of football pants. The resulting image outline 30 would appear as a solid shamrock.
- the outline of the shamrock that remains in the foam can then be used to show the image of a shamrock but instead of it being full, it is an outline of a shamrock or a hollow three dimensional image.
- different widths and colors of foam may be utilized to create varying images, shadows and appearances including complex images such as an American flag.
- the logo 19 of the three dimensional image element 18 is the same thickness throughout. However, as previously described, the depth of the logo 19 may be manipulated to give the image outline 30 more or less detail and definition when it projects through the exposed fabric area 28 of the sports clothing 22.
- a three dimensional image element 18 of a "O” can be seen as a “O” if the entire "O" is 3 mm thick, forming the inside line Li of the "O” slightly higher than the outside line L 2 to create a sloped face F allows the inner circle of the "O” to show differently and this can give it a different detail when it is seen through the clothing or covering (again see Figure 5).
- an "O” can be made a perfect circle or an oval. It can be made flat versus wavy. It can be made using only the outlines of the inside and outside circles. For some images, but not all, the inside lines must be made slightly higher than those on the outside in order for the details to show through. Also using rounded edges can help give definition. For example an American flag can be made by rounding the red strips of the flag, omitting the white stripes, making the blue a rectangle with square edges and adding slightly raised dots for the stars. This is an example of how different processes and shaping can be used to form a three dimension image element 18 that provides the desired image outline 30 projecting through the exposed fabric area 28 of the sports clothing.
- the three dimensional image element 18 may be made from a number of different materials including, but not limited to foams, high density synthetic materials, foam rubbers and plastics. Particularly useful foam materials include polyethylene foam, polypropylene foam and PVC foam. Regardless of the chemical makeup it is preferred that the foam be a "closed cell" foam. In many instances the three dimensional image element 18 is made from the same material as the pad 10 to which it is attached so that it may be used in athletic events without increasing any risk in injury.
- the three dimensional image element 18 may be punched or cut from a sheet of foam as previously described. Alternatively, the three dimensional image element 18 may be molded in a mold. The production operation utilized depends on the material being formed into an image and the intended use of the image. Logos 19, like college logos, mascots or trademarks could be punched or cutout from the foam. Logos 19 such as single or entwined letters like an "S", “OU”, “NC”, “ND”, “UK”, “3C”, etc. (see Figures 6a and 6b) show through and produce the desired image 30 whether they are solid letters, outlined letters or a combination of both. Logo images 19 such as an eagle and cat's paw may also be easily produced (see Figured 6c and 6d).
- At least five "O” images may be made from a punched/cut letter "O".
- the first image that could be cut would be a solid "O” that is punched.
- the remaining foam from which the punched letter was produced could be used to show the outline and produce a "hollow” O image.
- the two "O” shapes remaining from the punched foam (the one on the outside and the small one on the inside) could then each be traced in their entirety and cut out into two different sized thin O's that could be used together in the proper spacing on the pad to result in a three dimensional "O" outline.
- Images or logos 19 formed in molds may be given additional detail in certain areas that is not possible with a simple punching operation.
- molds may help when forming rounded portions, edges and crevices. This allows the three dimensional image element 18 to produce an image outline 30 that is often times significantly more detailed in appearance from a simple punched image. Forming the image in a mold may help give varying depths within the same image so as to make it look more realistic and provide a desired hologram-like affect to the image outline 30.
- the three dimensional image element 18 may be made in multiple sizes to fit different sized items.
- a three dimensional image element 18 of an eagle could be 6 inches wide to fit across a thigh pad, 4 inches wide to fit on a hip guard or 3 inches wide to fit on a tail bone pad.
- they can also be made of different colors depending on the desired effect. Only a portion of the entire three dimensional image element 18 may include one or more colors to enhance the image as it projects or appears through the exposed fabric area 28 overlying the image element 18.
- the three dimensional element 18 may be secured or attached directly to a front face of a pad 10.
- the three dimensional element 18 includes a background sheet 50 (see Figure 7).
- Such an embodiment may be positioned in a pad pocket 24 between the pad 10 and the overlying exposed fabric area. Where the exposed fabric area is stretched tight, friction is provided to secure the three dimensional element 18 and the background sheet 50 in position on the face 14 of the pad 10. In such a situation the provision of an additional fastener such as an adhesive layer or hook and loop fasteners may not be necessary.
- pads 10 include an uneven front face including ridges R, indentations I or other features.
- the background sheet 50 "smooths" the appearance of the front face 14 thereby allowing the three dimensional logo 19 of the image element 18 to produce a clearer and sharper image outline 30 through the exposed fabric area 28 than would be possible if the background sheet were not used.
- the background sheet 50 cut to the size and shape necessary to cover the ridges or other surface features of the pad to provide a smooth background which will not interfere with the three dimensional image 30 desired to be produced by the logo 19.
- the background sheet 50 may, for example, be made the same color as the overlying exposed fabric area 28 while the logo 19 includes one or more contrasting colors.
- the background sheet 50 is white in color to match football pants while the image logo 19 is a relatively dark, contrasting color which will show through the overlying exposed fabric area 28 to enhance the produced image 30.
- the contrasting color may be a traditional school or sports franchise color if desired.
- the logo 19 of the image element 18 may be made from a color (e.g. white) that matches the overlying uniform while the background sheet 50 is made from a darker, contrasting color to outline the resulting image 30.
- the rear face 60 of the background sheet 50 includes a margin area 62 covered in adhesive and a central area 64 within the margin that does not include adhesive.
- the adhesive margin 62 allows the background sheet 50 to be properly secured to the front face 14 of the underlying pad 10 while the adhesive free central area 64 extends over any ridges R of the pad, bridging the ridges and providing a smooth surface for the display of the image element 18.
- the adhesive is only applied to the margin area 62 and not the central area 64.
- the adhesive is applied all across the rear face 60 of the background sheet 50 and the adhesive free central area 64 comprises a foam piece of desired shape covering the adhesive in the central area.
- foam piece 64 helps to smoothly cover the ridges R and further project and highlight the image element 18 provided on the front or opposite side of the background sheet 50.
- a method for promoting a sports team may be broadly described as comprising the steps of wearing a pad 10 with a three dimensional image element 18 under sports clothing 22 of the sports team, producing a three dimensional image 30 projecting through a an exposed fabric area 28 of the sports clothing overlying the pad and providing that image in a shape of a logo such as a team logo or player number.
- the method includes using the exposed fabric area of the sports clothing 22 having a first color and the three dimensional element 18 having a second color that is darker than the first color and shows through the exposed fabric area.
- a method for ornamenting or embellishing a sports team uniform comprises wearing a pad 10 with a three dimensional image element 18 under the sports team uniform 22 and producing a three dimensional image 30 projecting through an exposed fabric area 28 of the sports team uniform overlying the pad.
- the method includes providing the image element 18 in a shape of a logo such as a team logo or even a player number.
- a method of ornamenting a team uniform comprises purchasing a kit 40 including a three dimensional image element 18 having a shape selected from a group consisting of a player number, a logo and a combination thereof and then securing that three dimensional element under the exposed fabric area 28 of the team uniform 22.
- This may include securing the three dimensional element 18 to a front face 14 of a sports pad 10 and inserting that pad into a pad pocket 24 in the team uniform so that the three dimensional element projects an image through the exposed fabric area 28 overlying the pad.
- the kit 40 may include a sheet of material from which a user may cut an image element including one of his own creation if desired. Such a kit may also include a cutting instrument if desired.
- a three dimensional image element 18 may be affixed to any football pad, whether it is a knee pad, thigh pad, hip pad, tailbone pad, forearm pad, shin guard, shoulder pad, hand pad or any other pad used in football or another sport.
- an image outline 30 shows through the exposed fabric area almost giving the appearance of a hologram. In this way it is possible to ornament the sports clothing creating a very interesting and exciting effect that promotes the team and inspires players and fans alike.
- the image element 18 is provided behind an overlying exposed fabric area 28 of a single color. It is not provided behind an exposed fabric area 28 including a design or complex image as any misalignment between the image element 18 and the design or complex image on the fabric 28 can distort the final viewer image leading to an undesired and unattractive result.
- the most useful embodiments include an image element 18 that is removable from the pad 10 to allow the image to be changed. Further, the pad 10, including the image element 18 is removable from a pad pocket in the uniform to better allow cleaning of the uniform and image changes.
- the three dimensional image element may take substantially any suitable form including, but not limited to, a team logo and a player number.
- a team logo By changing the three dimensional image element from game to game, it is possible to provide image outlines 30 to celebrate different occasions. For example, for a game honoring our service men and women, the three dimensional image element may take the form of an American flag. For a game the following week the three dimensional image element may take the form of the team logo. For a game the week after that the three dimensional image element may take the form of a player number. This number could be the actual number of the player wearing the image element 18.
