Custom Team & Sports Uniforms
How custom jerseys come together — combining screen-printed logos with vinyl names and numbers, choosing performance fabrics, and outfitting a whole roster.
6 min read · Updated July 10, 2026
Outfitting a team is one of the most common things we do — and one of the most satisfying to get right. The trick is knowing that the best uniforms usually use more than one method.
Logos + names + numbers
The classic team jersey combines two methods: the team logo is screen printed on the front, which is cheap and vivid in bulk, and each player’s name and number is added in heat-transfer vinyl on the back, personalized one shirt at a time.
That combination gives you a sharp, consistent team look plus individual personalization — without paying to screen print a different back on every single shirt.
Choosing the garment
Performance polyester wicks moisture and suits active, competitive play; soft cotton or blends are great for practice tees, fan gear, and casual leagues. Do not forget youth sizes for younger teams, and coach/staff polos to round out the sideline.
Outfitting the whole roster
Send us your roster — names, numbers, and sizes — and we will lay out every piece and sort the finished order so it is ready to hand out. Minimums are low, so a small club team is just as easy as a full league, and we will get you a quote fast so you can plan around your season.

Quick answers.
How do you print names and numbers on jerseys?
Player names and numbers are added in heat-transfer vinyl, which personalizes each shirt individually. We typically screen print the team logo on the front and add vinyl names and numbers on the back.
What fabric is best for team uniforms?
Performance polyester is best for competitive, active play because it wicks moisture; soft cotton or blends work well for practice tees, fan gear, and casual leagues.
Can you outfit a whole team?
Yes — send your roster with names, numbers, and sizes, and we will lay out and sort every piece. Minimums are low, so small teams and full leagues are both easy.
