Making custom jerseys used to mean screen-print shops, setup fees and 20-piece minimums. Today the process is simpler, faster and open to single orders. Here's exactly how it works.
Step 1 — Choose the jersey itself
Start from the sport: the cut, fabric weight and fit differ between a baseball jersey, a basketball jersey and a cycling jersey. Pick the base garment first — everything else is printed onto it.
Step 2 — Design it
Gather three things: your colors (exact hex codes if you have a brand), your logo or crest (vector files print sharpest), and your lettering (team name, player names, numbers). Then choose a design direction — solid, stripes, gradient, pattern. Not a designer? Most custom shops, including Ownfits, turn a rough idea into a proper design for free.
Step 3 — Review a mockup before anything prints
Never order without a digital proof. A mockup shows your design on the actual cut, front and back, so you catch color and placement issues before production. At Ownfits every order includes a free mockup and unlimited tweaks.
Step 4 — Production and delivery
Quality custom jerseys are sublimated: the design is printed into the polyester fibers with heat, covering the jersey edge to edge with colors that never crack or peel (here's how sublimation works). Made-to-order production typically takes 7–10 days including shipping.
How much does it cost?
Sublimated custom jerseys typically run $25–$60 per jersey depending on the cut and quantity — with no setup fees or minimums at modern shops. Team orders bring the per-jersey price down; see our team kit ordering guide for how bulk orders work.
