Custom Football Uniforms for Youth and High School Teams

How youth and high school programs order custom football uniforms: jerseys, pants, tackle twill vs sublimation, sizing over pads and the ordering process.

Custom Football Uniforms for Youth and High School Teams

Friday nights, youth league Saturdays, team photos: football uniforms are part of every program's identity. Custom football uniforms in your school colors, with numbers that hold up all season, make a team look like a program.

What custom football uniforms include

  • Game jerseys: cut to fit over shoulder pads, with numbers on the front, back and often the shoulders.
  • Game pants: in your colors, with stripes or side panels.
  • Practice jerseys: durable, lower-cost jerseys for daily practice.
  • Extras: belts, socks and team apparel for the sideline.

Our team uniforms guide compares both methods in more detail, and if your program also runs 7v7 or flag teams, see our guide to custom 7v7 and flag football jerseys.

Sizing over pads

Game jerseys must fit over shoulder pads, so they are cut longer in the body with room in the shoulders. Collect sizes with pads on, or use the padded sizing on the manufacturer's chart. Our US size guide explains youth and adult sizing.

Ordering custom football uniforms, step by step

  1. Send your design ideas: school colors, logo, stripes and number style.
  2. Approve the mock-up of the front, back and sleeves.
  3. Approve a sample jersey and check it over pads.
  4. Send your roster: names, numbers and sizes, checked twice.
  5. Production and delivery before your season starts.

Check your rules: state associations and leagues may have rules on numbers, colors and jersey design. Share them with your manufacturer.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Ordering too close to the season: design and samples take the most time. Start early.
  • Sizing without pads: jerseys end up too tight on game day.
  • Duplicate numbers on the roster sheet.
  • No spares: order a few extra jerseys for late roster additions.
