What is Custom Jersey Making?

Custom jersey making is the process of designing and producing totally unique sportswear that reflects your team’s identity. At TeamGear Canada, we use full sublimation printing, which means the design is printed directly onto the fabric. This technique ensures vibrant colours, durability, and a professional look that lasts season after season.

If you’re creating jerseys for hockey, soccer, basketball, or any other sport, the process involves careful planning, creativity, and attention to detail. From choosing colours to deciding on logo placement, every step is crucial to creating a jersey that your team will love.

Let’s dive into the steps that go into creating the perfect team look.

 

Step 1: Start with a Vision

Every great jersey begins with a clear vision. Think about your team’s identity, colours, and overall aesthetic. Do you want a bold, modern design or something classic and timeless? Consider how your jerseys will look both on and off the field or court.

Our design team can help you refine your ideas and create a unique look just for you. If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll guide you through the custom jersey making process step by step. We’ll ask questions about your team’s style, preferences, and goals to ensure the final design aligns with your vision.

 

Step 2: Choose Your Colors Wisely

Colour selection is a critical part of custom jersey making. Your team’s colours should reflect your brand and make you stand out during games. Consider using contrasting colours like blue and red or black and white for better visibility and a polished look.

Pairing dark shades with bright accents can also create a striking design. Check out these black and yellow custom softball jerseys from our design catalogue!

Think about how your colours will look under different lighting conditions, such as indoor arenas or outdoor fields. Our team can help you choose colours that complement each other and align with your team’s branding. We’ll also ensure the colours translate well into the final printed product.

 

Step 3: Logo Placement Matters

One of the most important aspects of custom jersey making is deciding where to place your logos. Do you want your team’s logo big and centred on the front? Or would you prefer it smaller, on the sleeve or chest? Logo placement can significantly impact the overall look of your jersey.

Don’t forget to consider sponsor logos. Where should they appear—on the sleeves, back, or chest? Proper logo placement is key in giving your jerseys a balanced and professional look. Our design team will work with you to find the perfect arrangement that works with your team’s brand, and satisfies your sponsor requirements.

 

Step 4: Select the Right Fit

Comfort and functionality are key in custom jersey making. Your team needs jerseys that fit well and allow for ease of movement. We offer a variety of fits, from slim to relaxed, to suit your team’s preferences. Check out our size chart here to find your perfect fit!

Think about the sport you’re playing. For example, basketball jerseys might require a looser fit, while soccer jerseys are often better when they’re streamlined and fitted to your body.

We’ll help you choose the right fit based on your player’s needs and make sure your jerseys are comfortable for everyone.

 

Step 5: Add Personal Touches

Customization is what makes custom jersey making so special. Consider adding player names, numbers, or motivational slogans to make your jerseys unique.

You can also incorporate unique design elements, such as stripes, patterns, or gradients, to make your jerseys stand out. Our design team can help you incorporate these elements seamlessly into your design. Work with us at TeamGear, and you’ll have the best looking jerseys on the field!

 

Step 6: Review and Finalize

Once your design is ready, we’ll provide a mockup for your approval. This is your chance to make any final adjustments before we move forward with production. We want to ensure every detail is perfect, from the colours to the logo placement.

Our typical turnaround time is about 4 weeks. Real quality craftsmanship takes time, after all! We’ll keep you updated throughout the process, so you know exactly when to expect your new team gear.
