How to sign “Teams” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Teams” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into T handshapes, each index finger laid across the top of its thumb.
- Touch the fingertips of both T hands together in front of your chest.
- Circle both hands outward together, tracing a wide loop like teammates around a table.
- Bring the hands back around so the fingertips meet again at the center.
- Keep the two hands mirroring each other through the entire circle.
- Stay warm and neutral — the circle reads as a group, and the T hands say team.
