I have a sleeve that goes over the leg, I got it at http://www.fredslegs.com/index.htm. I have a pic of it in my Photos if you like to check it out

Dennis

I haven't had it done as of yet, but will likely get a new socket in a year or so and will have the Denver Broncos logo on it. I saw a guy with some John Deere tractors on his socket. It's great for getting kids to go along a bit more from what I understand and that makes sense if they get a chance to personalize it and invested in it. I think it's neat!

I was interested to, but I am having the suction type socket, so they said the outer sleeve will fold down and cover 90% of the design :-(

Dennis mentioned the sleeve he got (I got one too) at Fred's legs. They also have artwork your prosthetist can apply directly to your socket (laminate?)! Kevin

The place that does my leg said they could take anything that was on a t shirt,and laminate it to the socket. My socket is like the one that pumpedup is talking about. You can only see the bottom 3-4 inches. Mine is carbon fiber,so it looks cool enough.

to do this all you need is the material/pattern you want and the prosthetist can do it at his shop when he laminates the socket. at least that is how we have done it. I am working on a project for custom graphics not only for the socket but I will be able to do all solid pieces other than the knee on an AK due to the microprocessors and electronics. I will make a post once everything is all squared away and post pics of samples. i will keep everyone posted.

I had a sleeve made that goes over my suspension sleeve. I sent www.Fredslegs.com some pix that I like to replace the 4 tatts that were tossed away when they took my leg.
I am now having a pin system made and I will definately have a desing put on that:-)

It is how each one of us expresses ourselves as individuals :-D

This is what I did to mine. There are also graphics on the back. One of Ray Tanner (baseball) and the other of Steve Spurrier (football) both South Carolina head coaches

That is exactly how I had mine done. I've had 2 sockets done like this, they turned out great. Was looking for an updated race car for a 3rd socket. Couldn't find a shirt with a small enough pic to fit the socket, so I found the pic I wanted and took it where they do screen printing. They took a pic of it, downloaded it on the computer, printed it and put it on a child's tee. Turned out perfect and right size for socket, it wraps all the way around. They only charged 7.00 . I love it.
