The Real Cost of Ordering Custom Soccer Team Jerseys Online

Let’s be real—ordering soccer team jerseys online can either be a smooth, affordable experience or a total budget-wrecking mess. If you’ve ever built a team uniform order before, you know how quickly those “$19.99” base prices turn into $45+ once you factor in everything else.

So how much do custom team jerseys actually cost in 2025? What’s worth paying for—and what can you skip? Let’s break it down.

A jersey’s price isn’t just about the fabric. Here’s what typically goes into the final cost per unit:

1. Base Jersey Cost

• Stock jerseys (Nike Park, Adidas Entrada): $18–$32

• Semi-custom decorated jerseys : $25–$45

• Fully sublimated kits : $45–$70+

This is your starting point—and the biggest price swing depends on whether you’re customizing or using a stock design.

2. Customization Fees

Each added element costs something:

• Player number (back): $3–$6

• Player name: $4–$7

• Front logo: $5–$10

• Sleeve sponsor: $3–$6

Many suppliers bundle these into “full decoration” packages—but if they don’t, your $25 jersey can easily hit $50.

3. Shipping & Rush Fees

Standard shipping is usually reasonable ($1–$3/unit in bulk), but overnight or rush production can add $150–$300 to your total.

4. Setup & Design Fees

If you’re submitting custom logos, some vendors charge:

• Vector conversion: $20–$50

• Custom font uploads: $10–$25

• Design edits: hourly or flat fees

At The Soccer Factory, most team orders come with free setup—no surprise fees for logo placement or number formatting.

Most suppliers drop your per-unit cost significantly as your order grows.

Typical discount tiers:

• 10–14 jerseys : ~10% off retail

• 15–24 jerseys : ~15% off

• 25+ jerseys : 20–30% off

Example:

• Nike Park VII MSRP: $24.95

• Team price for 20 jerseys: $18.95

• Savings: ~$120 total

Pro Tip: Always ask for volume pricing—even if your team is small. You might be able to bundle shorts or socks to hit the discount threshold.

Ordering on a budget? You can still get high-quality jerseys if you make smart choices:

Skip names, keep numbers

Numbers are essential for gameplay. Names? Not so much.

Stick with one logo

Multiple logos = more setup, more print layers, more risk. Keep it clean.

Choose stock templates

Using a vendor’s pre-approved stock templates saves on design costs and reduces delays.

Go unisex sizing

Reduces inventory complexity and can cut costs on separate patterns.

Even experienced coaches and directors get surprised by these:

Wrong Sizes

Ordering incorrect sizes means reordering (and paying for) extra jerseys. Always get player sizing in advance and use provided size charts.

Late Additions

“Coach, we just added a new player.” Yeah and now you need one extra jersey at full price + rush printing + overnight shipping. Always order 1–2 extras.

Off-Season Reorders

Out-of-season reprints may cost more, especially if the jersey style gets discontinued. Choose designs that’ll still be available next year.

Not all upgrades are a waste. Here’s where a little extra goes a long way:

Sublimated Jerseys

Yes, they cost more—but they last longer. No cracking, no peeling, no fading.

Bundled Kits

Some vendors offer jersey + shorts + socks at a package rate. This simplifies ordering and guarantees color coordination.

3D Design Tools

Seeing your jersey before ordering helps avoid costly mistakes. If your vendor doesn’t offer this, you’re flying blind.
