Three Things to Consider When Designing Your Custom Spirit Jersey

Designing a custom spirit jersey creates a powerful and fun connection between team members, audiences and brands, or any organization gathering for a common cause or event. Whether you're showing solidarity at a family reunion, letting the world know you're on the most incredible pom-pom squad, or creating a fun, playful way for employees to promote your products at a convention, spirit jerseys make a bold statement. Plus, with plenty of different design options for your spirit jersey, you'll have everything you need to reflect your team or brand!

Ensuring you end up with the perfect spirit jersey for you is easy with a bit of planning. And it also helps to understand what reflects team spirit in a way you'll be proud to wear for seasons to come or as a token of a memorable event (Disney spirit jersey, anyone?). We want you to get your spirit jersey design right with different materials, fits, and other details so you can have a blast with your crew. We're sharing the top three things to consider when designing your blank spirit jersey to showcase your creativity and brand.

1. Choose Your Customized Spirit Jersey Colors

Possibly the most important consideration when starting with a spirit jersey blank design is the color of the jersey. People wear the colors of their favorite teams proudly: you see it every Sunday during football season, and you've likely gone to a sports event donning the colors of the team you're rooting for. Your spirit jersey custom colors must reflect your brand or group, creating a cohesive experience.

For example, select a color from your brand palette if you're creating spirit jerseys for a work event. If your jerseys are for team activities, team colors are a must. If you need a Disneyland spirit jersey so your family can stick together at the Magic Kingdom, select a bright color that's easy to find in a sea of people.

At Spirit Factory, we offer twenty-four different colors. You'll find classic red, navy, gray, yellow, and black as tried and true options. Cutting-edge trendsetters have their pick of popular colors such as periwinkle, coral, and spring green.

Aside from your brand or team colors, selecting a color that works with your design is crucial for creating an exceptional custom spirit jersey. If you opt for multiple colors, you might want to keep other design elements simple. You'll also want to steer away from a spirit jersey design that is complex or busy with several colors because that could increase the printing cost overall and may look unstylish or unprofessional.

Are you selling your custom spirit jerseys as merchandise? Choosing colors that look good on your target customer boosts sales and ensures that they sport your wares for all to see. Additionally, customers appreciate a jersey that merges effortlessly as part of an entire outfit. They're likely to be worn with jeans, joggers, or dark black leggings, so creating custom spirit jerseys that really "make" the outfit is an extra consideration that goes a long way when designing your shirts. 

2. Choose Your Custom Spirit Jersey Shirts’ Unique Style and Fit

Are you wondering what secret sauce lies behind an obsession-worthy custom spirit shirt? A unique style and fit and a great color scheme ensure that your spirit jerseys thrill anyone wanting to show their team spirit. At Spirit Factory, our jerseys have a roomy, oversized fit for extra comfort. We design our spirit jerseys to be oversized, but you can order a size down for a more fitted look. For an added athletic touch, optional double stripes on the sleeve show everyone who's in the game. These jerseys are made out of an all-cotton machine-washable jersey, with rib knits at the cuffs and crewneck. 

Our custom spirit jerseys are especially popular with girls and women showing their spirit, but anyone can wear them. They are beloved by customers to show enthusiasm for schools, squads, sports teams, pom squads, student council, DECA, FBLA, and other youth organizations. They go beyond the walls of a school, though. Our spirit jerseys are incredibly popular with sororities, ministry organizations, bachelorette parties, CrossFit gyms, running teams, and groups needing a unique Disney World spirit jersey for the entire family.

Plus, with monogram options, they make great gifts for weddings, graduations, and other goodie bags.

3. Create Your Spirit Jersey Design

Do you wonder why certain personalized spirit jersey shirts seem extra special? Jerseys are extra special when someone lets their creativity run the show.  Customizable spirit jerseys truly express what your squad stands for. Though it's best to keep your spirit shirts’ custom design simple and straightforward, incorporating unique design elements helps it stand out from the crowd. A monogrammed spirit jersey makes it personal for family reunions or other family events. Add that expert branding touch by incorporating company logos and team emblems. Adding your motto or catchphrase also adds a unique spin.

Play with the lettering and printing as another way to get creative with your spirit jersey. With a standard imprint size across the back of the shoulders measuring 21 inches by 4 inches, you have plenty of room for family reunion names, nicknames, team names, mascots, or your message to the world! In addition to the standard imprint size on the back, you'll have an area of approximately four inches by four inches across the front. Your only limitation is your creativity. Even though there are plenty of fun fonts to play with, it's best to use a font that's easy to read while accounting for plenty of spacing between letters. Download our free design guide today!

Once you've selected your font, have fun with embellishments. Whether you want to use foil, puff paint, glitter, distressed details, or images, you have everything you need to make your custom spirit jersey precisely what you want.
