Custom Soccer Jerseys & T-Shirts

Performance tees are the versatile workhorse of soccer apparel. Lighter than a traditional jersey and more breathable than cotton, these moisture-wicking tees serve double duty as training tops and match-day shirts for recreational and youth leagues across Canada.

Team 365 TT11 Zone Performance Tee

The Team 365 TT11 ($8.95) delivers outstanding moisture management at an unbeatable price. The lightweight 3.8-oz polyester fabric dries rapidly, keeping players comfortable during intense training sessions and summer matches. Available in 25+ colours, the TT11 is ideal for soccer programs that need affordable, performance-driven training tops.

ATC S350 Pro Team Performance Tee

The ATC S350 ($10.95) steps up the performance with a 4.0-oz 100% polyester construction and ATC's moisture-wicking technology. The slightly heavier weight adds durability for outdoor soccer where shirts take a beating from tackles, slides, and weather. Popular with competitive clubs in Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg.

Core 365 CE111 ChromaSoft Performance Tee

The Core 365 CE111 ($8.57) features ChromaSoft technology for an ultra-soft hand feel that rivals cotton while maintaining full moisture-wicking performance. The CE111 is the choice for soccer programs that want the comfort of cotton with the performance of polyester — perfect for players who prefer a softer fabric against the skin.

Training vs Match Day

Many soccer clubs order performance tees as dedicated training tops, reserving their primary soccer jerseys for match days. The TT11 at $8.95 makes this approach budget-friendly — outfit your entire squad with training tops for less than $10 per player. Add your club crest via screen printing for a cohesive training-ground look.

Practice shirts take more abuse than any other piece of soccer apparel. Daily training sessions, tackle drills, heading practice, and weather exposure demand a shirt that can withstand constant washing and rough use while still looking presentable on the training pitch.

ATC S350 — The Practice Standard

The ATC S350 ($10.95) is purpose-built for the demands of soccer practice. The 4.0-oz polyester construction balances breathability with durability — lightweight enough for summer training, tough enough for slide tackles on wet grass. Moisture-wicking properties keep players dry during conditioning drills.

Colour-Coded Training Bibs Alternative

Instead of separate pinnies, many soccer coaches order practice shirts in two contrasting colours for scrimmage drills. At $10.95 per shirt, the S350 in two team colours costs less than dedicated training bibs and gives players a proper-fitting garment rather than a loose pinny. Teams across soccer jerseys Canada programs use this approach for a more professional training environment.

Durability Through the Season

Soccer practice shirts need to survive 3-4 washes per week during peak season. The S350's polyester construction resists shrinking, fading, and pilling through hundreds of wash cycles. Screen-printed team logos maintain their sharpness because polyester holds ink better than cotton blends.

Year-Round Training

Canadian soccer runs year-round — outdoor in summer, indoor in winter. The S350 works in both environments: breathable enough for hot summer pitches and lightweight enough to layer under a hoodie for indoor futsal sessions. One practice shirt style covers your entire training calendar.

Sublimated soccer jerseys represent the pinnacle of custom design freedom for the pitch. Unlike screen printing, which applies ink on top of the fabric, sublimation infuses dye directly into the polyester fibres through a heat-transfer process. The result is a permanent, full-colour design that covers every square inch of the jersey — with zero colour surcharges, no cracking, and no peeling.

Unlimited Colours and All-Over Designs

With sublimated soccer jerseys, there is no limit to the number of colours in your design. Gradient fades, geometric patterns, camo overlays, and photographic elements are all possible at the same price as a simple two-colour design. This makes sublimation the preferred method for competitive clubs in Toronto, showcase tournaments in Vancouver, and rep programs in Calgary that want to make a visual statement on the pitch.

Custom Team Identity

Sublimation lets you create a truly unique team identity. Your club crest, team name, numbers, player names, and sponsor logos are all part of a single unified design — printed edge to edge across the entire jersey. Teams across custom soccer jerseys Canada leagues order sublimated kits to stand out at provincial tournaments and national championships.

Durability and Comfort

Because sublimation dye becomes part of the fabric itself, sublimated soccer jerseys are incredibly durable. The design will not crack, peel, fade, or wash out — it lasts the entire life of the garment. The decoration adds zero weight or texture, so it breathes and stretches exactly like an undecorated garment. Players across Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal appreciate the lightweight feel during 90-minute matches.

Available Styles for Sublimation

We offer sublimation on all polyester custom soccer jersey styles — including the S3519 Pro Team Jersey and performance tees. The most popular sublimated style replicates the professional match-day aesthetic with unlimited design possibilities. Contact our design team to start building your fully sublimated soccer jerseys — we provide free mockups and unlimited revisions until your team is satisfied.

When you order custom soccer jerseys from T-Shirt Elephant, you get access to multiple professional decoration methods — each suited to different apparel styles, design complexity levels, and budgets. Whether you need bold team crests for a rec league or full-colour sublimated kits for a tournament in Toronto, our in-house production facility handles everything under one roof.

Screen Printing on Soccer Apparel

Screen printing is the most popular decoration method for custom soccer apparel ordered in bulk across Canada. It produces vibrant, opaque colours that sit on top of the fabric and survive season after season of play. This method works best for team crests, sponsor logos, and uniform text with 1-6 spot colours. A screen-printed crest on the Team 365 TT11 ($8.95) is the most cost-effective way to outfit a recreational soccer team.

Heat Transfer Names and Numbers

Heat-applied vinyl names and numbers are the standard for individual player identification on soccer jerseys Canada-wide. Pre-cut vinyl is heat-pressed onto the jersey, creating a smooth, professional finish that resists cracking and peeling. This method handles unique player names and numbers efficiently — perfect for team orders where every jersey needs different text.

Embroidery for Premium Branding

Embroidery adds a textured, professional feel to team hoodies, jackets, and caps. Thread-stitched club crests deliver a premium look that screen printing cannot replicate. Embroidery is most commonly used on the Gildan 1850 Team Hoodie ($19.07) and Yupoong C130 Team Cap ($4.95).

Which Method Should You Choose?

For large team orders with simple logos, screen printing offers the lowest per-unit cost. For unlimited-colour designs, sublimation gives you maximum creative freedom. For individual player names and numbers, heat transfer is the standard. For premium branding on hoodies and caps, embroidery is unmatched.

Youth soccer jerseys need to fit properly, stand up to rough play on grass and turf, and come at a price that parents and club coordinators can afford. T-Shirt Elephant carries dedicated youth-sized custom soccer apparel designed specifically for young athletes — properly proportioned garments built for growing players across Canada.

Youth Soccer Jersey Options

The ATC S3519 ($14.25) is available in youth sizes, providing the same pro-team styling as the adult version. For training, the Team 365 TT11 ($8.95) in youth sizes offers outstanding moisture-wicking performance at a price point that youth programs can afford across their entire roster.

House Leagues and Minor Soccer

House league soccer and minor soccer associations are the primary buyers of youth soccer jerseys across Canada. League coordinators typically order 50-300 jerseys per season, distributed across multiple teams in different colours. The TT11 at $8.95 and S3519 at $14.25 keep per-team costs manageable while delivering a professional look that parents appreciate and kids are proud to wear.

School Teams and Phys Ed Programs

Elementary and middle school soccer teams, intramural programs, and phys ed departments order youth soccer jerseys for school-sanctioned play. The durable performance fabric stands up to playground use and outdoor pitches. Schools in Edmonton, Ottawa, and across Ontario order the TT11 for its combination of durability, moisture management, and value.

Pairing Youth with Adult Styles

Many parent-child tournaments and community events need matching custom soccer jerseys in both youth and adult sizes. The S3519 and TT11 are available in both youth and adult sizing with the same colours, making it easy to create a unified look for community events and family soccer days across soccer jerseys Canada programs.

Fan apparel extends your soccer club's identity beyond the pitch. Parents on the sidelines, supporters in the stands, and alumni at reunion matches all want gear that represents the team. T-Shirt Elephant supplies custom soccer fan gear that builds community around your club.

Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton Fan Tee

The Gildan 5000 ($4.95) is the go-to fan t-shirt for soccer clubs across Canada. At under $5 per shirt, clubs can sell supporter tees at fundraising events, tournaments, and registration days. Screen-print your club crest, team name, and season year for instant fan gear that parents will wear all summer.

Gildan 1850 Team Hoodie

The Gildan 1850 ($19.07) is essential sideline gear for Canadian soccer. Early-morning matches, evening training sessions, and fall tournament weekends demand a warm layer. Screen-print or embroider your club crest for a hoodie that players, parents, and coaches will wear year-round.

Yupoong C130 Team Cap

The Yupoong C130 ($4.95) is the perfect coaching staff and volunteer accessory. Embroider your club logo on the front for a professional look that identifies your team's staff on the sidelines. At $4.95 each, order caps for your entire coaching and management staff without breaking the budget.

Club Merchandise Programs

Many soccer clubs run merchandise programs — selling branded t-shirts, hoodies, and caps to fund operations. The Gildan 5000 at $4.95, Gildan 1850 at $19.07, and C130 at $4.95 provide the affordable base cost needed for healthy margins on club merch sales. Custom soccer apparel doubles as both team gear and revenue-generating merchandise.

Canadian soccer demands warm layers. From frosty spring openers to crisp fall finales, team hoodies and sideline gear keep players warm during warm-ups, half-time breaks, and the walk to the car after evening matches. A coordinated hoodie with your club crest ties your program together on and off the pitch.

Gildan 1850 Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt

The Gildan 1850 ($19.07) is the most popular team hoodie in Canadian soccer. The 8-oz 50/50 cotton-polyester blend provides warmth without excessive bulk, making it perfect for layering over a jersey. Available in 30+ colours, the 1850 coordinates with any team colour scheme.

Decoration Options for Hoodies

Team hoodies look best with embroidered club crests on the left chest — the premium, textured finish elevates the hoodie from casual wear to official team gear. For larger back prints (team name, player names), screen printing delivers bold, durable graphics. Many clubs do both: embroidered crest on front, screen-printed team name on back.

Warm-Up Protocol

Matching hoodies create a unified team presence during warm-ups. Players warming up in coordinated gear project professionalism and intimidate opponents before kickoff. Many soccer jerseys Canada programs order hoodies alongside jerseys as part of their complete kit package.

Year-Round Use

Unlike jerseys that only see match-day use, team hoodies get worn constantly — to school, around town, at other sporting events. This extends your club's brand visibility far beyond the pitch. Every hoodie is a walking billboard for your soccer program across your community.

Proper placement of names, numbers, and logos on custom soccer jerseys follows established conventions that ensure your team looks professional and meets league requirements. Soccer has specific decoration traditions — here is what you need to know.

Front Crest Placement

Soccer jerseys traditionally feature the club crest on the left chest, approximately 3-4 inches wide. This placement mirrors professional football conventions worldwide. For rec leagues, a centred front logo is also common. Our online designer lets you preview all placement options on your custom soccer jerseys.

Back Number and Name

Back numbers on soccer jerseys are 8-10 inches tall, centred between the shoulder blades. Player names sit directly above the number in 2-3 inch lettering. This is the standard layout that soccer jerseys Canada leagues expect. For youth jerseys, numbers and names are scaled proportionally to the smaller garment size.

Front Number

Many soccer leagues also require a smaller front number, typically 4 inches tall on the right chest (opposite the crest). This helps referees and scorekeepers identify players quickly. Check your league rules — some require front numbers while others do not.

Sponsor Logo Positioning

Sponsor logos on custom soccer jerseys are most commonly placed on the front centre chest (below the collar, above the number) or on the back below the collar. Sleeve sponsors sit on the upper arm area. Our team ensures all sponsor placements meet your league's regulations.

The fabric of your custom soccer jersey directly impacts on-pitch performance. Soccer is one of the most demanding sports for apparel — 90 minutes of continuous running, sprinting, and physical contact in sun, rain, and wind. The right fabric keeps players cool, dry, and comfortable from kickoff to the final whistle.

100% Polyester Performance

The standard fabric for soccer jerseys is 100% polyester with moisture-wicking properties. Polyester dries 3x faster than cotton, resists shrinking and stretching, and holds printed colours longer. The S3519, TT11, S350, and CE111 all use 100% polyester construction — proven to perform in outdoor conditions across Canadian weather extremes.

Moisture-Wicking Technology

Every performance tee and jersey in our soccer lineup features engineered moisture-wicking channels that pull sweat away from the skin to the fabric surface where it evaporates quickly. The TT11 at 3.8-oz is the lightest option for hot summer matches, while the S350 at 4.0-oz adds slightly more substance for cooler conditions.

ChromaSoft Technology

The Core 365 CE111 features ChromaSoft technology — a finishing process that gives polyester the soft hand feel of cotton while maintaining full moisture-wicking performance. Players who find traditional polyester too "slick" prefer the CE111's softer texture against the skin during extended play.

Cotton vs Polyester for Soccer

For match-day jerseys and training tops, 100% polyester is the clear choice — it wicks moisture, dries fast, and holds its shape through hundreds of washes. For fan gear and casual team apparel, the Gildan 5000 ($4.95) in 100% cotton provides comfort and affordability for supporters who are cheering, not playing.

Custom soccer jerseys serve one of the broadest customer bases in custom sports apparel. At T-Shirt Elephant, our soccer customers span every level — from kids in house leagues to adults in competitive clubs. Here is who orders soccer jerseys Canada-wide and why.

Recreational and Adult Leagues

Rec leagues and adult soccer programs are the single largest buyers of custom soccer jerseys in Canada.

The S3519 at $14.25 and TT11 at $8.95 are the overwhelming favourites for league play.

Youth Clubs and School Programs

Competitive Clubs and Rep Programs

Rep teams, academy programs, and competitive clubs invest in premium soccer jerseys — often sublimated — reflecting their competitive commitment. These programs typically order complete kits: home jerseys, away jerseys, training tops, hoodies, and team caps.

Tournaments and Charity Events

Soccer tournament organizers and charity event coordinators need team jerseys, volunteer shirts, and event merchandise. Custom soccer apparel with sponsor logos turns a casual tournament into a professional, memorable event. The Gildan 5000 at $4.95 is the go-to for event t-shirts.

Coaching Staff and Volunteers

Coaches, referees, and volunteers need identifiable gear on match days. Team caps (C130 at $4.95), coaching polos, and staff hoodies (Gildan 1850 at $19.07) keep your off-field team looking coordinated and professional throughout the season.

How Soccer Jerseys Should Fit

Custom soccer jerseys should fit semi-snug through the torso — looser than a compression layer but closer-fitting than a basketball jersey. The jersey should tuck into shorts without excessive bunching. Soccer conventions favour a more fitted silhouette than other team sports. When in doubt, try the intended size before ordering for the full team.

Sizing Tips for Team Orders

For team orders, have each player try on a jersey in their estimated size before finalizing. A safe distribution for a typical recreational team is: 10% Small, 20% Medium, 35% Large, 25% XL, 10% 2XL. We offer free size exchanges on unworn blanks within 30 days for soccer jerseys Canada orders.

Great artwork and smart design decisions separate professional-looking custom soccer jerseys from amateur ones. After producing thousands of decorated soccer jerseys and team apparel, our team has distilled the most important design principles into actionable tips.

Artwork File Formats

For the sharpest results, provide vector artwork in AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF format. Vector files scale to any size without quality loss. If you only have a raster image (PNG or JPG), ensure it is at least 300 DPI at the intended print size. Low-resolution logos are the number one cause of disappointing results on soccer jerseys Canada teams order.

Soccer-Specific Design Conventions

Soccer jerseys follow specific design conventions: club crest on the left chest (3-4 inches wide), back numbers 8-10 inches tall centred between shoulders, player names in 2-3 inch lettering above the back number. Front numbers (if required) go on the right chest at 4 inches tall. These proportions create the professional look that leagues expect.

Colour Matching and Contrast

Soccer jerseys look best when decoration colours create strong contrast against the jersey fabric. White numbers on dark jerseys and dark numbers on light jerseys ensure maximum legibility from the sidelines and the scorer's table. Our team matches Pantone colours precisely for your custom soccer jerseys.

Design for Your Decoration Method

Screen printing handles bold graphics and solid fills in up to 6 spot colours. Sublimation is your method for unlimited colours and edge-to-edge designs. Heat transfer is ideal for individual player names and numbers. Embroidery works best for compact logos and crests on hoodies and caps.

Free Design Assistance

T-Shirt Elephant offers free artwork review and basic cleanup on every order. Our designers adjust sizing, optimize colours, and ensure your custom soccer apparel looks polished. Teams across Canada — from rec leagues in Toronto to competitive clubs in Calgary — rely on our design team to refine their vision.
