Matching uniforms change how a team plays and how it is seen. Players stand taller, parents take more photos, and sponsors finally get a logo worth paying for. But ordering a full squad's kit is easy to get wrong: wrong sizes, colours that don't match the badge, numbers that peel after a month.
This guide walks club managers, coaches and school sports staff through ordering custom soccer and American football uniforms: what a full kit includes, which decoration lasts, how to collect sizes without chaos, and how to get it all delivered before the season starts.
What a full team kit includes
| Soccer | American football | |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Short or long-sleeve jersey | Game jersey cut to fit over shoulder pads |
| Bottoms | Shorts | Game pants |
| Extras | Socks, goalkeeper kit in a contrast colour | Practice jerseys, belts, socks |
| Personalisation | Names, numbers, badge, sponsor logos | Numbers front, back and shoulders, names, team logo |
Tip: order home and away sets together. One design process, one sample round and one shipment usually costs less than two separate orders.
Sublimation or tackle twill?
How your design gets onto the fabric decides how the kit looks and how long it lasts.
| Full sublimation | Tackle twill | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Ink is dyed into polyester fabric | Fabric numbers and letters stitched on |
| Design freedom | Unlimited colours, gradients, patterns | Solid colours, classic look |
| Feel | Light, nothing on the surface | Raised and heavier |
| Durability | Will not crack or peel | Very durable, premium finish |
| Best for | Soccer kits, training wear, bold designs | American football game jerseys, a traditional look |
Most soccer clubs choose full sublimation: the design, badge, sponsors, names and numbers all go into one print, so nothing can come off. For American football game jerseys, tackle twill numbers give the classic stadium look, while practice jerseys are usually sublimated or printed.
Getting the sizes right
Sizing causes more reorders than anything else. A simple system prevents it:
- Use one size chart for everyone. Share the manufacturer's chart, not a high-street brand's. Sizes differ between makers.
- Collect sizes in one sheet. Player name, number, top size, bottom size and, for youth teams, age. One sheet, one owner.
- Check numbers twice. Duplicate numbers are the most common mistake on team orders.
- Order a few spares. New players join and kits get damaged. A handful of extra blank sets in common sizes saves a rush reorder mid-season.
- For American football, size over the pads. Game jerseys must fit over shoulder pads, so measure with pads on or follow the chart's padded sizing.
From design to delivery
- Send your idea: colours, badge, sponsor logos and a photo or sketch of the look you want.
- Approve the design: you receive a digital mock-up of front and back to check every detail.
- Approve a sample: check fabric, fit and print quality on a real garment.
- Send your size and number list: one sheet, checked twice.
- Production and quality checks: every piece is inspected before packing.
- Delivery: shipped to your door, by air or sea.
Plan ahead of the season. Start the process well before your first match. Design and sample approval take the most time, and they are the steps you should never rush.
Why order direct from a manufacturer
- Your exact design: colours matched to your badge, not the nearest catalogue option.
- Better value per kit: no reseller margin between you and the factory.
- Consistent reorders: the same supplier can repeat the kit for new players next season.
- One contact: questions about sizes or numbers go straight to the people making your kit.

Frequently asked questions
Can every player have their own name and number?
Yes. Send a list with each player's name, number and sizes, and each uniform is personalised to match.
Which is better for soccer kits, sublimation or printing?
For most soccer kits, full sublimation is the better choice. The design is dyed into the fabric, so it stays light, breathable and cannot crack or peel.
Can you match our club colours exactly?
Send your badge or colour references with your request. You approve a digital mock-up and a physical sample before production starts.
Do you make youth sizes?
Yes. Kits can be made in youth and adult sizes in the same design, so the whole club matches.
