Custom Soccer Jerseys: Cost, Design & How to Order in 2026

Custom soccer jerseys cost, design and how to order in 2026

Custom soccer jerseys cost roughly $11 to $23 per jersey factory-direct (or $17–$45 for a full kit with shorts and socks), can be fully designed with your club’s colours, logo, and player names, and can be ordered from as few as 10 pieces with delivery in about 3–4 weeks. This guide covers cost, design, and how to order in 2026.

How Much Do Custom Soccer Jerseys Cost?

Ordered directly from a manufacturer, a custom sublimated soccer jersey typically costs $11–$23 per piece in small quantities and drops to $7–$15 for orders of 100 or more. A complete kit — jersey, shorts, and socks — runs about $17–$45 per set depending on quantity and fabric. Buying factory-direct skips the retail markup, so the same jersey that retails for $60–$80 in stores can be produced for far less.

Order size Jersey only Full kit (jersey + shorts + socks)
10–49 pieces $13–$23 $25–$45
50–99 pieces $10–$17 $20–$35
100+ pieces $7–$15 $17–$33

How Do You Design a Custom Soccer Jersey?

Designing a custom soccer jersey comes down to a few key decisions. Most factories will turn your inputs into a free digital mockup before you commit to anything.

1. Choose a Base Template or Start From Scratch

You can pick an existing template and recolour it (faster and cheaper) or supply a fully bespoke design. See our OEM vs ODM guide to decide which route suits your club.

2. Set Your Colours and Logo

Provide exact colour codes (Pantone or hex) and a vector logo file (AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF) for the sharpest result. If you only have a low-resolution image, most design teams can redraw it.

3. Add Names, Numbers, and Sponsors

Player names, squad numbers, captain armband details, and sponsor logos are all added during design. With sublimation these are printed into the fabric, so they never crack or peel.

4. Pick Your Fabric and Fit

Lightweight moisture-wicking polyester is standard for match jerseys. You can also choose collar style (crew, V-neck, or polo collar) and fit (slim/player fit vs. classic). Browse examples on our custom soccer jerseys page.

What’s the Best Printing Method for Soccer Jerseys?

For full-colour, all-over designs, sublimation printing is the best choice. It dyes the polyester fibres directly, so the print never fades, cracks, or peels — even after repeated washing. Screen printing and heat transfer suit simpler, lower-cost designs with limited colours. For a detailed comparison, read our post on sublimation vs screen printing vs heat transfer.

How to Order Custom Soccer Jerseys From a Factory

The typical process is straightforward:

  1. Send your brief — logo, colours, quantity, and sizes.
  2. Receive a free mockup — a digital visual, usually within one business day.
  3. Approve a physical sample — see and feel the jersey before bulk production.
  4. Bulk production — 15–20 days after sample approval.
  5. Worldwide shipping — delivered directly from the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for custom soccer jerseys?

At Eliian the minimum is around 10 pieces, which works well for small clubs, school teams, and five-a-side sides. Many factories require far higher minimums.

How long does it take to make custom soccer jerseys?

Expect about 3–4 weeks in total: roughly 5–7 days for sampling and 15–20 days for bulk production after you approve the sample, plus shipping time.

Can I add player names and numbers?

Yes. Names, numbers, and sponsor logos are printed into the fabric with sublimation, so they stay vibrant and never peel.

Are cheap custom jerseys good quality?

Factory-direct pricing is low because it removes retail markup, not because quality is compromised. Always approve a physical sample first so you can confirm the fabric and print quality before committing to bulk.

Do you ship custom soccer jerseys internationally?

Yes. Eliian ships worldwide directly from its factory in Xiamen, China, with freight options to match your timeline and budget.
