Ordering uniforms for a whole team is easier when you know the steps in advance. This guide explains how to order custom team uniforms from a manufacturer, what information to prepare, and how long each stage takes, so your team is ready before the first game.
Step 1: Decide what your team needs
Start with the game uniform, then add practice and travel gear. A typical order includes:
- Game jerseys and shorts or pants (home, away, or a reversible set)
- Practice shirts and shorts
- Warm-ups such as quarter-zips, hoodies, track jackets and joggers
- Team bags and socks
Each sport page has a buyer’s guide, for example wrestling, football, baseball and basketball.
Step 2: Gather your design details
- Your logo or crest, ideally as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF). A clear PNG or a sketch is fine to start.
- Team colors, with Pantone codes if you have them.
- Names and numbers for each player.
- A reference image of a style you like.
- Any league or association rules, such as number size or color requirements.
Step 3: Request a quote and mockup
Send your details through the quote form or WhatsApp. A production lead replies with pricing and a digital mockup, usually within 24 hours. Ask for changes until the design is right. There is no minimum on most products, so small rosters are welcome.
Step 4: Confirm sizes and quantities
Collect sizes from every player before you approve the order. Youth and adult sizes can be made together in one run. Add one or two spares for new players and replacements.
Step 5: Approve and pay the deposit
Once the mockup, sizes and quantities are approved, a deposit starts production. Check the terms and conditions for payment details.
Step 6: Production and delivery
Your uniforms are cut, decorated, stitched and quality-checked in our factory in Sialkot, Pakistan. Most orders are delivered in 2–3 weeks from the deposit, with manufacturing and shipping both included. Timing can vary with order type and quantity. See the shipping policy for tracking and delivery details.
When to order custom team uniforms for your season
Work backwards from your first game. Allow a few days for the mockup and sizing, 2–3 weeks for production and shipping, and a small buffer. Ordering 4–6 weeks before your first game is a safe rule.
