There are few prouder moments for a cricketing parent than watching your child raise their bat after reaching their first century.
Whether it happens at a junior county pathway match, a school match, or a local club fixture, that moment is etched into your memory forever.
For your child, it can be a turning point in their cricketing journey, proof that hard work, practice, and perseverance do pay off.
So, how do you celebrate a cricketing milestone this special?
More importantly, how do you preserve it?
How do you make sure that moment doesn’t just fade into the background of a thousand other matches?
This is where TeeMemento comes in - keep reading and get all the details.
The Power of a Personalised Memento
While photos, medals, and match balls are lovely, they often end up gathering dust on a shelf or in a drawer or just get lost in their bedrooms.
A trophy may be admired at the time, but it becomes part of the furniture. It doesn’t go out into the world with your child, and it doesn’t offer the kind of day-to-day connection to the achievement that can build lasting confidence and pride.
At TeeMemento, there's a better way: personalised, embroidered keepsakes that your child can actually wear, 100% personalised to your exact specifications.
Why Embroidered Clothing Makes a Better Memento
Our embroidered t-shirts, hoodies and polo shirts are designed to do more than commemorate an achievement; they celebrate it in a way that's stylish, subtle, and entirely wearable.
Here’s why:
1. It’s Something They Can Take With Them
Unlike a medal that stays in a drawer or a trophy that sits on a shelf, an embroidered hoodie or t-shirt becomes part of your child’s everyday wardrobe. They can wear it to school, training sessions, casual days out or family dinners. Every time they put it on, they’re reminded of what they achieved, and so are the people around them.
2. It Tells a Story
Each embroidered piece is completely personalised. We can stitch in their name, the date, the team they were playing for, and even a short custom message, such as "First Ton!" or "100 Not Out." It becomes their story, told in the thread.
3. It's a Confidence Booster
Sporting milestones don’t just build skill; they build self-esteem. Wearing a keepsake that reflects a genuine achievement can make a child feel proud, capable, and motivated to keep improving. That kind of emotional lift is hard to replicate with something that sits on a mantelpiece.
4. It Stands the Test of Time
Our embroidery is made to last. Even after countless washes and wears, the message will remain as clear and bold as the day it was stitched. It's not a disposable souvenir; it's a long-lasting celebration of their achievement and serves as an excellent icebreaker for them to talk about and discuss their innings.
5. It Grows With Them
Because we offer a range of sizes and styles, from youth to adult fits, our keepsakes aren’t just for young children. Whether your child is 9 or 19, we can create a memento that suits their age, style, and personality.
Making the Moment Special
We understand that the first century isn’t just about the runs. It’s about the early mornings in the nets. The patience. The missed chances. The learning curve. The growth. The ducks, the tears and the frustrations that come with learning how to bat.
Our memento's are a tribute to all of it.

A Gift That Keeps Giving
A wearable memento is more than just a one-off gesture; it becomes an integral part of a child’s identity. For some, it might spark a scrapbook of achievements, where every new milestone is celebrated with a new piece.
For others, it is the hoodie they wear before every match as a quiet reminder of what they're capable of at the crease.
For parents and grandparents, it's also a meaningful gift idea. There's something profoundly moving about seeing your child or grandchild proudly wearing something that tells their story. It's emotional. It's personal. And it lasts.
Start a Cricketing Tradition
What if this first ton is just the beginning? Imagine building a collection of embroidered keepsakes over the years—first 50, first 5-for, debut match, captaincy. Every key moment is stitched into something tangible. A timeline of progress. A wearable journey.
That’s the heart of TeeMemento. We want to help you create traditions around sporting success, not just trophies in a cabinet, but memories woven into everyday life.
Conclusion: More Than Just a Ton
Scoring 100 runs in a cricket match is a remarkable feat at any age, but for a child, it can be genuinely life-changing. It deserves more than a passing celebration. It deserves to be marked in a way that lasts.
Our embroidered mementos combine the warmth of recognition with the practicality of wear. They’re not just keepsakes. They’re talking points, confidence boosters, and wearable memories.
So the next time your child smashes their way to a century, don’t just cheer from the boundary and snap a photo.
Let TeeMemento help you celebrate properly, with a personalised, embroidered keepsake they can wear proudly, again and again.
Because cricketing milestones should be lived, loved and worn.
