Whether you call them kippahs, kippot (the traditional Hebrew plural), or yarmulkes, there's no denying that sports fans love showing off their favorite teams. From Shabbat services to weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, holidays, and everyday wear, a sports-themed kippah is a fun way to celebrate both tradition and fandom.
One of the things we enjoy most is helping our readers find those hard-to-locate items that make a celebration feel a little more personal. Sports kippahs are one of those products. Since they're surprisingly difficult to find, we've gathered some of our favorite sports and team-themed designs in one place.
Sports Theme Kippahs
Team-Specific Sports Kippahs
Generic sports designs are always popular, but many fans want to support a specific team. Finding officially inspired NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL kippahs isn't nearly as easy as you might think, which is why we were excited to discover these handcrafted cotton kippot made from licensed team fabrics. While the finished kippahs themselves aren't officially licensed products, each one is carefully handmade using authentic licensed fabric.
Here are just a handful of the available designs.

If bold team prints aren't quite your style, we also found a collection of handsome suede kippahs featuring subtle team logos. They offer a more classic, understated look while still letting fans quietly celebrate their favorite team. And once again, if your team isn't shown, it's always worth asking the seller about additional options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a kippah and a yarmulke?
Kippah is the Hebrew word, while yarmulke comes from Yiddish. Both refer to the same head covering. The traditional Hebrew plural is kippot, although many English speakers also use kippahs.
Can you wear a sports kippah to a wedding or bar mitzvah?
Absolutely. While some families prefer a more traditional style, many choose sports-themed kippahs to celebrate a favorite team or add a personal touch to the occasion. They're also popular for Shabbat, holidays, and everyday wear.
Can I request a team that's not shown?
Many of these kippahs are handmade using licensed team fabrics. If you don't see your favorite team listed, it's always worth contacting the seller to ask whether additional fabrics or custom options are available.
Writing Your Parent Speech?
Choosing the kippah is only one part of the ceremony. Our parent speech page includes real Bar and Bat Mitzvah speeches, practical guidance, and ideas for writing remarks that reflect your child’s character, Torah portion, and Jewish values.
