Newstripe – Athletic Field Striping Machines, Stencils & Baseball Field Maintenance Equipment

Newstripe is the American-made athletic field marking brand that has been equipping schools, parks departments, colleges, and professional facilities with the tools to stripe, mark, and maintain game-ready fields since Ralph Newman started the company in his Aurora, Colorado garage in 1981 — and what began with a single innovative line striper called The Scotsman has grown into one of the most comprehensive field maintenance product ecosystems in the industry. Newstripe is a leading manufacturer of equipment for athletic field line marking, with a commitment to product innovation, quality local manufacturing, and great service that keeps customers coming back year after year. Every Newstripe product is made in the USA at their Aurora, Colorado facility — the manufacturing commitment that means consistent quality, accessible parts and service, and the kind of product support that 40-plus years of direct customer relationships produces. The full Newstripe lineup covers athletic field line striping machines in walk-behind, ride-on, and electric configurations; baseball field maintenance equipment including infield groomers, drag mats, and layout systems; PolyTough™ stencils with a Lifetime Warranty; field marking paint and chalk; and the parts and accessories that keep every machine running. Pro Athletic Supply carries the complete Newstripe lineup for school athletic programs, parks and recreation departments, collegiate facilities, and professional groundskeeping operations.

✔ Made in the USA Since 1981 — Aurora, Colorado Manufacturing, 40+ Years of Field Marking Expertise — Newstripe is proudly made in the USA at their Aurora, Colorado facility — since 1981, their commitment to product innovation, quality local manufacturing, and great service keeps customers and dealer partners coming back year after year. The manufacturing pedigree that stands behind every warranty claim with an actual US-based manufacturing operation.

✔ PolyTough™ Stencils — Lifetime Warranty on the Thickest Field Stencil Material Available — Newstripe's PolyTough 1/8-inch (125 mil) stencils come with a Lifetime Warranty — the thickest and most durable stencil format available, ideal for repetitive daily use, cleanable with a high-pressure hose, and backed by the warranty that makes the professional-grade investment the last stencil purchase a program needs to make.

✔ No Pressurized Tanks — Fast Color Changes and Easy Cleanup on Every Machine — Newstripe's innovative paint stripers are designed with convenience in mind — no pressurized tanks, which makes cleanup and color changes fast and easy. The operational advantage that groundskeeping crews experience on every multi-sport field day where two or more line colors are required in the same session.

✔ Ride-On NewRider™ — Large Paint Capacity, Multiple Fields Quickly and Efficiently — The large paint capacity of the popular NewRider™ ride-on machines effortlessly stripes multiple fields quickly and efficiently — the productivity upgrade that separates facilities managing 4 to 8-plus athletic fields from programs where walking every line on every field becomes the limiting factor in game-day preparation.

✔ Dirt Doctor™ Infield Groomers — One-Pass Infield Conditioning for a Ready-to-Play Surface — The Dirt Doctor™ infield groomers provide one-pass conditioning of infields to maintain a ready-to-play state — the baseball field maintenance equipment that saves the labor time between games and reduces the staff effort of preparing baseball diamonds to the condition that players and umpires expect.

Newstripe Athletic Field Striping Machines – Walk-Behind, Ride-On & Electric Line Stripers

Newstripe's athletic field striping machines are the core product line that established the brand's reputation — walk-behind airless line stripers that deliver crisp, even lines on grass, turf, or dirt for smaller programs; self-propelled and ride-on NewRider™ machines with large paint capacity for multi-field facilities that need to stripe multiple full-size fields in a single session; and electric battery-powered stripers that eliminate fuel and emissions from the field marking operation. Newstripe's striping machines deliver crisp, even lines on grass, turf, or dirt. Their design ensures minimal overspray and maximum paint savings — perfect for busy grounds crews. Newstripe demonstrated their electric field stripers at the Colorado Sports Field Management Association's Battery Field Equipment Demo Day in 2024 — the institutional field management community that Newstripe has sponsored and supported at both state and national levels through the Sports Field Management Association since the organization's establishment.

Best for:

• High school and collegiate athletic programs maintaining football, soccer, lacrosse, and multi-sport grass and turf fields through a full competitive season who want the reliability of a US-manufactured walk-behind or ride-on airless striper for weekly and game-day field preparation
• Parks and recreation departments managing large inventories of athletic fields — 4 to 8-plus fields across multiple facilities — who need the NewRider™ ride-on machine's large capacity and efficient coverage to complete multi-field striping operations within a realistic groundskeeping staff time budget
• Programs and facilities transitioning to electric equipment who want Newstripe's battery-powered electric striper line as the zero-emission, lower-noise alternative to gas-powered field striping machines

Newstripe Baseball Field Maintenance Equipment – Infield Groomers, Drag Mats & Layout Systems

Newstripe's baseball field maintenance equipment covers the full cycle of diamond preparation — from the infield grooming between games that maintains a ready-to-play surface through the precise field layout tools that establish batter's boxes, base paths, and field markings to regulation dimensions at every level of play. Professionally maintain and recondition any size field with Newstripe's dry line markers, nail-drags, drag mats, and infield groomers. The Dirt Doctor™ infield groomers provide one-pass conditioning of infields to maintain a ready-to-play state — the between-game conditioning tool that prevents the surface hardening and uneven infield texture that accumulates across a multi-game day without systematic grooming. The ProLine™ and SafeMark™ field layout systems let grounds crews measure once and easily restripe without having to remeasure — the layout infrastructure that saves the full measurement process on every re-striping session after the initial field layout is established.

Best for:

• High school, collegiate, and professional baseball and softball programs that maintain their own fields through a full competitive season and need the full range of grooming tools — drag mats, nail-drags, infield groomers — that keep infield surfaces in playable condition between games without labor-intensive manual preparation
• Athletic directors and groundskeeping staff responsible for both baseball and multi-sport field maintenance who want a single authorized source for the infield grooming equipment and the athletic field striping machines that serve the full range of their field maintenance responsibilities
• Parks and recreation departments managing community baseball diamonds for youth and adult leagues where the ProLine™ layout system's measure-once-restripe-without-remeasuring capability saves staff time across multiple weekly field preparation cycles

Newstripe PolyTough™ Field Stencils – Football Numbers, Hash Marks & Custom Logo Templates

Newstripe's PolyTough™ stencils add a professional touch to any facility with numbers, arrows, hash marks, mascots, and more — and the 1/8-inch professional-grade format's Lifetime Warranty backs that professional touch with the durability to maintain it across every season of the program's future without replacing stencils. The complete stencil lineup covers football field number kits in NCAA and high school regulation heights with numbers 0 through 5, G marker, and directional arrow; Deluxe Hash Mark Stencils in PolyTough for repetitive daily-use programs; custom logo and mascot stencils up to 100 feet wide in three formats — 1/8-inch PolyTough with Lifetime Warranty, 8-mil Trace Pattern Plastic for occasional use, and EZ Fold Fiber Board; and field and playground stencils for multi-sport and recreational surface marking. The 1/16-inch (63 mil) light-duty format is economical and flexible, great for curves and uneven surfaces, and perfect for one-time projects or occasional use.

Best for:

• School athletic programs that operate their own field preparation and want the Newstripe PolyTough stencil kits that pair with their Newstripe striping machines for a complete, single-brand field marking system — stencils and machines from the same manufacturer at the same quality level, serviced through the same dealer relationship
• Athletic facilities and school programs that want to display their identity — school name, mascot, conference branding — on their fields through Newstripe's custom logo stencil process, producing the midfield and end zone graphics that make a program's home field visually distinctive
• Multi-sport facilities that need the full stencil range across football, soccer, baseball, basketball court, and track and field event markings — all available through Newstripe's field and playground stencil category from a single authorized supplier

Newstripe Field Marking Paint & Chalk – Athletic Field Marking Paints for Every Surface

Newstripe's field marking paint and chalk products complete the consumable side of the field marking system — the paints and chalk formulations that pair with Newstripe striping machines for optimized performance and the field marking results that the machines were designed to produce with compatible paint viscosity, coverage, and drying characteristics. Field marking paint for grass and synthetic turf surfaces in white and field marking colors provides the highly visible, weather-resistant line markings that natural turf and synthetic turf surfaces require for clear field boundary visibility. Chalk for dry line marking provides the temporary, natural-surface marking that some field preparation workflows use for preliminary layout before paint marking. Striping paint and chalk complement Newstripe's striping equipment, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting markings across every field type the program serves.

Best for:

• Programs running Newstripe striping machines who want the compatible paint formulation designed for use with Newstripe equipment — the paint-machine pairing that produces the correct spray pattern, minimizes nozzle wear, and delivers the coverage rates the machine's paint capacity was designed for
• Athletic facilities that mark multiple sports fields with multiple line colors — football white boundary lines, soccer goal area markings, baseball chalk lines — and want a single paint and chalk source that serves all field types from the same supplier
• School and parks department groundskeeping operations that want to purchase field marking paint and equipment from the same authorized Newstripe dealer relationship, simplifying procurement and ensuring product compatibility across the complete field marking supply chain

Newstripe Parts, Accessories & Maintenance Kits – Keep Every Machine Running

Newstripe's parts and accessories keep the striping machines, infield groomers, and field maintenance equipment running reliably through seasons of heavy use — the maintenance infrastructure that distinguishes a long-term equipment investment from one that generates replacement equipment costs when consumable wear parts aren't maintained. Newstripe's parts and accessories inventory covers maintenance kits for scheduled service intervals, filters for paint and spray system maintenance, hoses for spray system integrity, belts and pulleys for drive system maintenance, and replacement parts for machine components subject to wear across heavy seasonal use. Newstripe provides product manuals and service videos alongside the parts inventory — the documentation that allows a groundskeeping crew to perform routine maintenance in-house without returning equipment to the factory or waiting for a service technician. The US manufacturing base for Newstripe's equipment means parts availability and manufacturing support from the same facility that produced the original machine.

Best for:

• Programs with existing Newstripe striping equipment who want the maintenance kit schedule and genuine Newstripe replacement parts that extend machine service life and maintain the performance consistency of well-maintained equipment through multi-season heavy use
• Large facilities with multiple Newstripe machines in the equipment inventory who want a scheduled parts procurement relationship that stages maintenance kit replacements on a seasonal calendar rather than reactive repairs when machine failures occur during game preparation
• Athletic directors and facility managers who want the full documentation support — product manuals, service videos — that Newstripe provides alongside parts procurement, enabling in-house groundskeeping staff to handle routine maintenance without outside service costs

Who This Is For

• High school athletic directors and head groundskeepers responsible for preparing football, soccer, baseball, and multi-sport fields for weekly competition who want a single US-manufactured brand's complete product ecosystem — striping machines, stencils, paint, and maintenance parts — from an authorized dealer
• Collegiate athletic facilities maintaining multiple regulation fields for conference-level competition who need the NewRider™ ride-on machine's multi-field capacity, PolyTough stencils with Lifetime Warranty, and the baseball field maintenance equipment for diamond preparation at the competitive level they operate
• Parks and recreation departments managing community athletic field inventories for youth and adult programs across multiple sports and multiple facilities who want Newstripe's full range — from walk-behind stripers through ride-on machines, baseball field groomers, and multi-sport stencil kits
• School programs transitioning from outsourced field marking to in-house groundskeeping who want the complete Newstripe system — machine, paint, layout tools, and stencils — that makes independent field preparation achievable with standard groundskeeping staff without specialized field marking expertise
• Athletic program directors who want to display their program's visual identity on the field — school name, mascot, conference branding, sponsor logos — through Newstripe's custom stencil service that produces professional-grade field graphics from a Lifetime Warranty manufacturer

How to Choose the Right Newstripe Equipment

Walk-behind vs. ride-on striper by field inventory size — Walk-behind airless stripers serve programs marking 1 to 3 fields per session where the crew's time budget accommodates walking every boundary line and hash mark. The NewRider™ ride-on striper serves programs marking 4 to 8-plus fields per session where walking every line becomes the rate-limiting constraint on game-day preparation. Identify the number of fields requiring full marking in the longest single preparation session and match the machine format to that workload — the ride-on's efficiency premium is justified by field count, not by preference.

Gas vs. electric striper by operational preferences and facility context — Gas-powered stripers offer the refuel-and-continue operational pattern familiar to most groundskeeping crews — reliable for extended sessions with no charge monitoring. Electric battery-powered stripers eliminate fuel cost, fuel storage, exhaust emissions, and engine maintenance at the expense of battery charge management between sessions. Newstripe demonstrated electric field stripers at the 2024 CSFMA Battery Field Equipment Demo Day — the institutional endorsement of the electric category's readiness for professional field marking operations.

PolyTough 1/8-inch vs. 1/16-inch stencil by use frequency — Programs marking the same field weekly through a full competitive season and multiple seasons ahead belong in the PolyTough 1/8-inch Lifetime Warranty format — the investment that amortizes to near-zero cost per application across its unlimited service life. Programs marking occasionally — seasonal youth events, annual tournaments, one-time projects — belong in the 1/16-inch light-duty format that matches investment to actual use frequency.

Complete field maintenance system vs. individual product by operational scope — Programs building a new field maintenance capability from scratch benefit from specifying the complete Newstripe system — striper, layout system, stencils, paint, and grooming equipment — as a coordinated purchase that ensures every component is compatible and the entire field preparation workflow is covered from first layout through final marking. Programs with existing equipment who want specific additions benefit from individual product sourcing through the same authorized dealer relationship.

ProLine™ layout system by field re-marking frequency — The ProLine™ and SafeMark™ field layout systems let crews measure once and easily restripe without having to remeasure — the investment that pays for itself quickly for programs that remark the same field multiple times per season. The full measurement process before every re-marking session requires significant crew time on a multi-field day; the layout system converts re-marking from a full measurement exercise into a position-and-stripe operation that each field completion significantly faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who is Newstripe and where are their products made? A: In 1981, Ralph Newman started Newstripe in his garage with an innovative line striper he developed called The Scotsman. Newstripe quickly outgrew the garage and moved into their Jasper Street facility in Aurora, Colorado, which remains their home today. Newstripe is a leading manufacturer of equipment for athletic field line marking, pavement and floor striping, and industrial recycling and disposal — with a commitment to product innovation, quality local manufacturing, and great service that keeps customers coming back year after year. Every Newstripe product is proudly made in the USA at their Aurora, Colorado facility. In 2015, Newstripe purchased all manufacturing assets of the Campbell Hausfeld Airless Pump Division and moved them to Aurora — expanding their spray pump manufacturing capability and vertical integration.

Q: What is the difference between Newstripe's walk-behind and ride-on striping machines? A: Newstripe offers a complete line of field striping products, including aerosol, walk-behind airless, and self-propelled paint striping equipment. Walk-behind machines are the standard for single-field and small-inventory programs — operated on foot with the machine's spray system marking lines at walking pace. The NewRider™ ride-on machines feature large paint capacity and are designed to effortlessly stripe multiple fields quickly and efficiently — the correct format for multi-field facilities where the time savings of a ride-on machine versus walking every line on every field is meaningful across a full game-day preparation session. Both formats feature no pressurized tanks for fast color changes and easy cleanup. Electric battery-powered options are available in both walk-behind and ride-on configurations for programs preferring zero-emission operation.

Q: What does the Newstripe ProLine™ layout system do? A: Newstripe's ProLine™ and SafeMark™ field layout systems let you measure once and easily restripe without having to remeasure — the precision measurement and layout infrastructure that establishes the correct positions for field boundaries, goal lines, hash marks, batter's boxes, and other regulation field markings on initial installation. After the initial measurement and layout is established with the ProLine™ system, subsequent re-marking sessions use the layout stakes and reference points to reposition the striper and stencils accurately without repeating the full measurement process. For programs that remark the same fields multiple times per season — weekly game preparation, post-rain line restoration, multi-sport field conversion — the ProLine™ system's measure-once capability saves significant crew time across every subsequent marking session.

Q: What is a Dirt Doctor™ and how does it help with baseball field maintenance? A: The Dirt Doctor™ is Newstripe's infield grooming machine — designed to provide one-pass conditioning of infields to maintain a ready-to-play state. Between games on a multi-game day, infield surfaces accumulate the cleat marks, surface hardening, and texture irregularities that player traffic creates — conditions that affect footing, ball bounce, and playing surface safety. The Dirt Doctor™ addresses all of these in a single grooming pass, restoring the consistent, playable surface that the field started the day with. Beyond the Dirt Doctor™, Newstripe's baseball field maintenance lineup includes nail-drags, drag mats, and layout systems — the complete equipment range for maintaining baseball diamonds from initial layout through between-game surface preparation throughout the competitive season.

Q: What warranty coverage does Newstripe provide on their products? A: Newstripe's diverse range of products is supported by one of the most robust warranties in the business. Their PolyTough™ 1/8-inch (125 mil) field stencils carry a Lifetime Warranty — the indefinite coverage that backs the professional-grade stencil investment for the full service life of the product with proper care and cleaning. Newstripe's striping machines and field maintenance equipment carry manufacturer warranties appropriate for the product category — specific warranty terms by product are documented on Newstripe's Returns & Warranties page and available through Pro Athletic Supply at the time of purchase. The US manufacturing base means warranty service is supported by the same facility that manufactured the equipment — no international warranty chain with extended service timelines.

Q: Can Newstripe create a custom stencil for my school's mascot or logo? A: Yes. Newstripe custom logo and mascot stencils allow programs to quickly and easily paint large — up to 100 feet wide — multi-colored school logos, mascots, or company names on athletic fields, large outdoor areas, or rooftops. Three formats are available: 1/8-inch PolyTough Plastic with Lifetime Warranty for programs that repeat the same logo application regularly, 8-mil Trace Pattern Plastic for occasional-use logo applications at a lower cost, and EZ Fold Fiber Board for the simplest storage and handling of large-format logo stencils. All three formats are reusable. Contact Pro Athletic Supply to begin the custom stencil process — Newstripe provides consultation, design support, proofing, and precision cutting for stencils of any size or shape.

Newstripe started in 1981 with an idea for a better line striper, built it into a complete US-manufactured athletic field marking and maintenance ecosystem over four decades, and remains the brand that groundskeeping professionals, athletic directors, parks departments, and collegiate facilities return to because the products work, the warranties are real, and the manufacturing behind both is American. The complete Newstripe lineup — athletic field striping machines, baseball field maintenance equipment, PolyTough™ stencils with Lifetime Warranty, field marking paint, and parts — covers every field preparation need from the initial layout through the final line for the programs that field their teams with pride in their surfaces.
