A great baseball jersey balances tradition with team identity. Whether you're outfitting a travel team, a beer league or a company squad, these are the custom design choices that separate a pro-looking kit from a generic one.
Start with the jersey style
Baseball offers more silhouette choices than any other sport: full-button (the classic), two-button, pullover and sleeveless (worn over an undershirt). Sleeveless jerseys are also the standard for softball — see our custom softball jerseys.
Design elements that define baseball
Pinstripes
Nothing says baseball like pinstripes. With sublimation they cost nothing extra and never peel — pick a stripe spacing and go.
Script lettering
Cursive team script across the chest is the most iconic baseball look. Pair it with a contrasting outline and keep it readable at distance.
Two-tone sleeves and piping
Contrast raglan sleeves plus thin piping along the placket instantly reads "uniform", not "t-shirt".
Modern fades and camo
Tournament and travel teams increasingly go bold: gradient fades, digital camo panels, or state-flag motifs. Edge-to-edge printing makes it possible — see how sublimation works.
Lettering, numbers and names
- Front: team script or town name. Back: player name over number.
- Choose athletic block or script fonts — avoid thin fonts that vanish in photos.
- With sublimation, names and numbers are printed with the jersey — no iron-on patches that crack after a season.
