What’s Included in a Custom Soccer Uniform Set? A Complete Breakdown Before You Order

When teams search for custom soccer uniforms, they usually start with the jersey. But here’s the thing—there’s more to a complete uniform set than most people think. If you're managing gear for a school, club, or tournament team, understanding exactly what’s included (and what isn't) can save you from last-minute panic or unnecessary costs.

This guide from The Soccer Factory breaks down everything that makes up a full custom soccer uniform set—so you can order smarter and show up ready to play.

Let’s start with the core concept. A custom soccer uniform set usually includes:

• Jersey

• Shorts

• Socks

• Player name and number

• Team logo

• Sponsor branding (if applicable)

But depending on your league, age group, and season length, many teams also build in:

• Training shirts

• Warm-up jackets and pants

• Goalkeeper-specific gear

• Custom bags, pinnies, or even practice balls

It’s not one-size-fits-all. What works for a youth rec team may not fly for a travel club or school varsity program.

Jersey

The jersey is where your team’s identity lives, colors, logo, name, number, even sponsor branding. At The Soccer Factory, we make customization easy with our 3D kit builder. You choose the fit, collar style, sleeve design, and color scheme. Add player names, numbers, and badges—then get a real-time preview before you finalize.

Some teams only order one colorway. Others need home and away kits. Either way, don’t just focus on looks—make sure the fabric is breathable, lightweight, and sized for actual movement.

Shorts

The shorts should complement the jersey—not just in color, but in fit and durability. We offer options for classic athletic fit, compression, and moisture-wicking fabrics. You can also add numbers or team logos to the leg.

One of the most common mistakes we see is teams ordering the right jersey and forgetting to double-check the shorts for contrast striping, number placement, or sizing. It's worth reviewing this guide on ordering tips for custom soccer jerseys to avoid those headaches.

Socks

Socks are often an afterthought, but leagues almost always require them—and your players will definitely notice if they're uncomfortable or mismatched. Our kits let you customize sock color, height (crew or knee-length), and even add a small logo if needed.

The smart move? Order an extra pair per player. It’s the cheapest insurance policy against lost or soaked socks on game day.

Customization isn’t just about aesthetics. It affects player confidence, sponsor visibility, and even league compliance.

Player Numbers and Names

We offer multiple font options for player names and numbers—front, back, and shorts if required. These come standard in most of our kits, including both Quick-Turn and Premium lines. Be sure to check your league's sizing and placement rules so you stay compliant.

Team and League Logos

You'll want to provide a high-resolution PNG, SVG, or AI file. Placement options typically include the chest, sleeve, or upper back. For teams in multiple leagues or tournaments, we can help incorporate dual-badge designs as well.

Sponsor Branding

Sponsorships help lower the cost of custom soccer gear. Add your sponsor’s logo on the front, back, or sleeve. Just be sure to confirm any league restrictions before printing. And if you’re weighing whether the investment in customization is worth it, here’s why many teams never regret going custom.

Beyond the basics, here’s what else many teams include in their uniform packages:

Warm-Up Jackets and Pants

Especially useful for fall/winter games, these give your team a pro look from the parking lot to the pitch. Customize with player numbers or initials, team name, and sponsor patches.

Training Shirts

Save your match jersey for game day. Many coaches order lightweight training tops that keep players unified during practice without wearing down their official kit. These are often made from moisture-wicking polyester blends with simple team branding.

Goalkeeper Gear

Keepers need more than just a different colored jersey. Our goalkeeper kits include long sleeves, padded elbows, and visual designs that stand out. You can customize gloves, shorts, and socks to match.

Custom Bags

From drawstring packs to full travel duffels, adding personalized bags helps keep gear organized. Useful for tournament weekends when players are juggling cleats, balls, shin guards, and changing clothes.

Here’s a quick overview of what comes standard—and what’s usually optional:

Shipping and tax are not usually included in base pricing. Design mockups and revisions are free, but rush orders may incur a fee depending on timeline.

Based on hundreds of post-season surveys and reorders, these are the most common regrets:

• Not ordering an extra set of socks

• Skipping warm-ups for colder months

• Failing to include sponsor branding early

• Not confirming sizing with a test run or size kit

• Leaving out coach or manager gear

We’ve also heard from plenty of teams that didn’t realize the value of a complete setup until they were midway through the season. If you're wondering when a full investment makes sense, here are the top five moments that prove it’s worth it .
