TeamsCustom Team Jerseys in Canada: Sizes, Names & Turnaround
From U12 soccer to office softball, jersey orders live or die on sizing charts, name spelling, and realistic turnaround. Here is what we ask every team before we print.
Custom team jerseys are not just "shirts with numbers." You are coordinating sizes for growing kids, sponsors on the sleeve, and a coach who wants hoodies too.
Start with the roster
Before art, gather: player name, number, size, and optional captain patch. One Google Sheet beats twelve separate texts.
Pick the right blank
- Rec leagues — Performance tees or lightweight jerseys; browse custom jerseys.
- Spirit wear — Cotton tees for fans and parents; lower cost, less technical.
- Cool weather — Layer hoodies with the same logo file.
Decoration methods for jerseys
Full-colour logos and gradients usually go DTF or screen with process simulation. Simple one-colour crests screen beautifully at volume. We will match method to your art — see screen vs DTF vs embroidery.
Sizing mistakes to avoid
Do not guess youth sizes — use the blank manufacturer's chart. Adult small is not "a kid large." Leave one extra blank in a popular size when your league allows it.
Event shirts vs on-field jerseys
Many teams order matching team shirts for travel and a performance jersey for play. Same brand colours, two products — we can keep art consistent.
Frequently asked questions
How long do custom jerseys take in Canada?
Plan 7–10 business days after art approval for most team orders. Rush production is sometimes available — share your first game date early.
Can each jersey have a different name and number?
Yes. Collect a roster spreadsheet (name, number, size) and we will map it to production. Double-check spelling before approval.
What fabric is best for outdoor summer leagues?
Moisture-wicking polyester or performance blends dry faster than heavy cotton. See our performance shirts category.
Do you ship jerseys across Canada?
Yes — we ship Canada-wide from Ottawa, with local pickup when convenient.
