I forgot my chronology a little bit. Before the jerseys came the hit-it-here bulls eye. I always loved these type signs. You see them in a lot of minor league parks. Sometimes you win a steak, sometimes cash, but here you win $0.25. Heck...it's only about 55 feet from home plate. Seeing as how I am the sponsor of this sign, I couldn't very well throw a steak of or big load of cash to every batter who finds the target. However, I'm thinking of painting the name of each person that's hit it as a little added bonus. As of right now, only one person has found it yet...and he was my 7 year old nephew. Guess I could have upped the reward a bit.
Anyway, about the process. I made a stencil from poster board. I sketched out the design, then cut it out with an xacto knife. I then taped it up to the wall with painters tape. I used more of the flat white and red that I used before applied with a small foam brush. The letters and numbers are 2" stencils I found at Lowe's. This little ditty took longer to paint than you would think. Even with using the stencil, it took forever to get the circles to look right. It was worth it though. It really sets off the next thing I did, yep you guessed it....the jerseys.
