How to Design Custom Football Uniforms

Football is a favorite American pastime that has become a popular recreational sport for children as well as adults. Many recreation teams require uniforms in order to be able to play against other teams. Football uniforms can be custom designed for each team.

1. Create a uniform design with the team colors that will be incorporated into the uniform. Sometimes the name of the team corresponds with the team colors. The Blue Jays are typically blue and white colors. These would be the colors to incorporate into the uniform designs. The uniform designs will usually only have two or three colors at most.


2. Place the logo on the neck of the jersey. Include large numbers on the back of each uniform. This will identify each team member from one another. The best place to place these numbers on the back is directly in the middle between the shoulders and the bottom of the shirt. Taking a measurement will ensure the correct placement is achieved. 


3. Place the last name of each player approximately five inches above the numbering. The colors of the numbers should be the same colors for the name of the players. This will create consistency on the uniforms, and make them easy to read and identify the players with.


4. Choose fabric that is comfortable and breathable, which are two key factors when designing a uniform. The mesh fabric should be used for the jersey, because it allows the air to circulate through the jersey. The fabric must be able to stand up to a great deal of rough football. Durable fabric should be the only type of fabric used on football uniforms. This will ensure that the uniforms stay in good shape all year long.


5. Add advertisements or endorsement if applicable. Sometimes there are sponsors of the football team who pay for the uniforms and other aspects of the team's expenses. They can be given credit on the uniforms fairly easily.
