Tips on color, logo placement, personalization, and more from the pros at Jersey Den
There’s something powerful about wearing a jersey that truly represents your team. Whether it’s for a local league, a school team, or a group of friends hitting the field for fun, a well-designed custom jersey makes your squad stand out and feel united.
At Jersey Den, we’ve helped thousands of teams bring their visions to life — and we’re here to help you do the same. Whether you're using our online jersey customizer or working directly with one of our design pros through an order request, here are some essential tips to help you design the perfect custom jersey.
1. Start With a Strong Color Scheme
Your team colors set the tone — literally. Choose 2–3 core colors that represent your team’s personality and are visually cohesive.
High-contrast combos (like black & gold, navy & white) offer a bold, classic look.
Bright, playful colors (like neon green, turquoise, coral) work well for fun leagues or youth teams.
Don’t forget to factor in your logo colors so everything feels consistent.
Pro tip: Use our online customizer to test different color schemes instantly and see what pops.
2. Place Your Logo Where It Matters
Your team logo is your identity — give it a proper spotlight.
The chest area is the most traditional and visible placement.
Add a secondary logo or patch on the sleeve or back (near the neckline) for extra flair.
If your logo has fine details, make sure it’s high-resolution so it prints cleanly.

3. Add Personalization That Counts
One of the best parts of a custom jersey is making it feel personal. Here’s how:
Names & Numbers: Include player names and numbers on the back (or even the front, depending on your style).
Nicknames or Inside Jokes: For casual or rec leagues, a funny or meaningful nickname can make the jersey even more fun.
Special Dates or Messages: Commemorate a championship year or dedication with a small detail near the hem or sleeve.
At Jersey Den, we make it easy to add custom touches with just a few clicks.
4. Choose a Style That Fits Your Sport (and Vibe)
Every sport has its own jersey tradition — but that doesn’t mean you can’t add your twist.
Sleeveless or short sleeve?
Button-up or pullover?
Slim fit or relaxed cut?
With our customizer, you can explore multiple styles and even switch between them to find the best look for your team.
5. Make Sure It’s Built for Performance
A great design is important — but so is comfort and durability. Our jerseys are made from high-quality, breathable materials built to move with you and stand up to the season.
