Abstract

A sheet of artificial athletic turf bearing a graphic design formed by an arrangement of tufts of different colors of grass-simulating synthetic yarns. The backing substrate element of the turf is, first, thoroughly tufted with at least one background color of yarn and prior to permanently binding those tufts to the backing, some of the tufts are removed from the backing, and the area of the backing surface vacated by their removal is repopulated with tufts of supplemental colors of yarn arranged in the pattern of the graphic design.
