Description
The Basketball Kippah is a four-panel orange printed yarmulke that looks like a real basketball, sold in 9 sizes (dome 1 to 5, 16 and 18cm flat, and 16 and 18cm flat with clips) at $9.99. The print copies the pebbled grain of a ball in shades from deep orange to golden yellow, with highlights that make it look round and leathery. Dark brown-black channel lines curve over the crown the way the seams of a basketball do. The rim is a band of the same orange print, so the ball effect runs right to the edge. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it
Plenty of kippot have little sports icons scattered on them. This one commits to the idea: the entire kippah is a basketball, with the grain, colour shading and black seam channels placed where they belong. It is instantly recognisable on a court or in a class photo. The 16 and 18cm flat sizes with clips keep it on during a game.

Frequently asked questions
Is the texture raised like a real ball?
No. The pebbled grain is printed with shading; the fabric itself is smooth.
Which sizes include clips?
The 16cm and 18cm flat sizes each come in a version with clips, listed separately in the size menu.
Is there a matching baseball kippah?
Yes. The Baseball kippah uses the same realistic approach in white with red stitches.
What size for a first-grader?
Size 3 usually fits children around six to seven.
Will the orange fade in the sun?
Like any printed fabric, long, repeated direct sun can dull it. Storing it indoors when not worn helps it stay bright.
