DESIGNING YOUR GLOVE
It's pretty cool, and pretty easy: Just follow the steps to create your very own customized glove. We ship it to you and you rule the field. We've updated the site to make it even easier to the design the glove that you want. A2K? No problem. A2000? No problem. You have tons of flexibility to create a glove that's very unique, and very you.
The Navigation System
The blocks at the top of your screen will highlight in yellow and black to let you know where you are in the design process. There are 6 core steps to building your glove. It starts by selecting your series, then your model, adding SuperSkin or not, and then it's time to Play, Customize, and Personalize. As you progress through the process the navigation system will highlight your location in black and yellow. All of this leading you to the promised land, Review and Buy.
The Design Module
When you design your glove you will use the Design Module located on the right side of the page. The module will give you thousands — maybe even millions — of options to make your glove perfectly you. When using the module you will notice that there are 4 areas of the glove for you to add your personal touch: Leather, Trim, Lacing and Stitching. You can move from area to area. No need to complete one before moving on to the next. Areas with a red circle are incomplete while those with a green checkmark are done and ready to go. You can move on to the next step once you've completed all of the sections, or you can save your masterpiece.
Glove Images
Not only do the images of your glove show you how awesome your glove is going to look, you can also roll over and click on them to choose the part of the glove you want to color. And since stitching can be a bit tricky, we've included a graphic that you can click to make that step a lot easier.
Color Palette
Time to have some fun! When coloring your glove you will have the option to select up to 2 colors for your leather, up to 2 colors for your Trim, up to 2 colors for your Lacing, and up to 5 colors for your stitching. And those can all be different colors! During each of these steps the Design Module will automatically provide you with the available color palette and once you select a color it will be highlighted in the module. If you want to change a color all you have to do is click on the X and select a new color. You can always go back to each step to change colors at any time! Please note, the colors on the screen are as representative as possible but may not be exact matches to the actual colors of your glove.
Saving Your Glove
To ensure you don't lose your sweet new design you can save your glove after you complete the Customize process. That means all those sections have to have green checkmarks. You can save a total of 4 gloves at a time to compare. Please note gloves are saved during your visit. This means once you leave the website there's a chance that your saved gloves could be deleted; however, that's not always the case. There's a lot of tech stuff going on here, and we'll keep working to make it better.

PERSONALIZING YOUR GLOVE
This step allows you to really make your glove your own by embroidering your name, number, etc. (up to 16 characters) on it. In this step, you will also if you need a right or left handed glove; the break-in condition you prefer your glove to be in when it arrives at your doorstep; and choose your MLB batter silhouette logo color just like the pros. You now have the option to add an icon, country flag or official MLB team logo. Boom!
Name It
It doesn't get much more personal than this! Type in your name, number, nickname, your glove's name, whatever - as long as it's 16 characters or less. We'll embroider it right on your glove in the color and font you choose. Wilson reserves the right to refuse any requested personalization message that includes profanity, slander, trademarks and/or any other content that Wilson considers inappropriate in its sole discretion. Keep it clean!
What hand do you throw with?
Pay close attention here. We're asking which hand you THROW with, not catch with. So, if you tell us that you THROW with your right hand, we will build your glove to fit your left hand. It's not rocket science just make sure you choose the correct hand.
In what condition do you want your new glove?
Obviously it'll be brand new, but choose "Traditional" if you want your glove broken in a bit, like the A2Ks and A2000s you are used to buying at a store. Or choose "Pro Stiff" if you have your own way of breaking in your glove. This is how many of the pros request their gloves and it takes a little more work to break it in just the way you like it.
Which MLB batter silhouette logo do you want?
Again, like the pros, you get to choose which color MLB batter silhouette logo to put on your glove. The logo will be placed near the base of the pinky of your glove.
Want to add an Emblem, Country Flag or MLB Team Logo?
You now have the option to select from a lineup of emblems and country flags to add to your glove. And you can add the logo of your favorite MLB team. We've even included a few throwback logos. Sick, right?

PURCHASING YOUR GLOVE
Review Your Glove
When you are done with your new masterpiece and ready to share or buy it, click the "Review and Buy" button. All steps must be complete for the button to be clickable. It will turn black and yellow when available.
Importance of double-checking
On the REVIEW & BUY screen, you will have a chance to review your design to make sure everything looks just like you want and all the information is correct. This is very important because as a custom glove it is non-returnable and non-refundable. DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE ALL INFORMATION (e.g. which hand the glove is for) IS CORRECT. You can click on the "Make Changes" button to go back and fix or change anything you want before purchasing.
Making changes
If you want to make a correction or change things up, just click any one of the grey boxes with the pencil in it and you will go back to that exact step where you can modify your glove. Get your glove perfect before you order it because it's not easy to make changes, and it cannot be returned.
Sharing your masterpiece
You're an artist. A visionary. Show your friends what you just created and reveal to them your true genius! You can share your glove on Facebook, Twitter or send it to all of your family and friends via email by clicking the appropriate icon. This is also a great way to send someone a "hint" on what to buy you for the holidays or your birthday, or just because you're awesome.
Printing your glove spec
Click "View Full Glove Spec" to view and print the specs for your glove. If you want something to hang up to remind you of what's coming, you can refer to this sheet when the right time comes. This will include all of your color choices, your personalization choices and even the images of your glove!
