How to Customize Football Uniforms
Football uniforms can always be customized for school jerseys, as long as the uniforms don’t break any rules. An intramural football uniform can be customized more freely because the games aren’t officially with an organization. But, this doesn’t mean that school football jerseys can be customized creatively.
Supplies:
- Iron
- Patches
- Needle
- Thread
- Scissors
- Silkscreen letters
- Silkscreen numbers
- Ruler
- Buy iron-on silkscreen letters and numbers at a craft store. Pick a color and size that best fit the jersey. Buy smaller characters for little league jerseys and bigger letters for older players.
- Line the letters and numbers on the jersey. Make sure to space the characters evenly with the ruler. The letters and numbers should not be closer than an inch.
- Plug an iron into a power outlet. Keep the iron heat on a low setting and wait until the iron gets hot. Press down the iron on each letter and number, one at a time, for two seconds. Keep doing this until the characters are glued on.
- Put the patch in the proper location on the jersey. The patch can be put on the sleeve or front of the jersey. Iron the patch if it is silkscreen. Make sure you sew the patch on if the patch is created an embroidered one. Thread the needle into the patch and jersey, beginning at the top of the patch. Sew the patch on the jersey by taking the needle and threading it around the patch until it is securely on the jersey. Take some scissors to cut the remaining thread from the needle.
