Custom Softball Jerseys & T-Shirts

Slo-pitch jerseys Canada teams love start with the right base garment. Slo-pitch softball is as much about culture as competition — the team name, the jersey design, and the post-game ritual are all part of the experience. T-Shirt Elephant carries the two most popular jersey styles for slo-pitch leagues across the country, both purpose-built for the diamond.

S3526 Full-Button Baseball/Softball Jersey — The Slo-Pitch Standard

The Athletic Knit S3526 Full-Button Baseball Jersey is the definitive slo-pitch jersey in Canada. The full-button front, traditional baseball collar, and two-tone colour blocking give it that authentic diamond look that beer league teams in Toronto and Calgary have been ordering for years. Built with 100% polyester pro-mesh fabric, the S3526 keeps you cool through extra-inning games on hot summer evenings. Available in 12+ two-tone colour combinations, it pairs perfectly with any team colour scheme.

The full-button design means the S3526 doubles as a casual shirt — teams wear them to the bar after games, to weekend barbecues, and around town. That crossover appeal is why it consistently outsells every other softball jersey in our catalogue. Screen print your team name across the chest, add numbers on the back, and you have got a custom softball jersey that your roster will actually want to wear all summer.

S3519 Two-Tone Baseball/Softball Jersey — The Contrast Alternative

The Athletic Knit S3519 Two-Tone Baseball Jersey delivers a cleaner two-tone look with contrasting sleeves and body. The henley-style neckline and raglan cut offer a more relaxed, modern fit that newer slo-pitch teams in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Winnipeg gravitate toward. Same pro-mesh polyester construction, same moisture-wicking performance, with a slightly different aesthetic that works for teams wanting a sportier vibe without the full-button formality.

Beer League Culture and the Jersey

In slo-pitch, the jersey IS the team identity. Creative names like "Pitch, Please," "Batters of Anarchy," and "The Swingers" deserve a jersey that matches the energy. Slo-pitch jerseys Canada teams order from T-Shirt Elephant because we print bold, full-chest designs with vibrant colours that pop on the diamond. Whether your team plays in a competitive league in Montreal or a casual Thursday-night beer league in Ottawa, the S3526 and S3519 set the standard for slo-pitch style.

Built for the Diamond, Worn Everywhere

Both the S3526 and S3519 are built with athletic performance in mind — lightweight polyester that wicks moisture, resists shrinking, and dries fast after those diving catches in the outfield. But they are comfortable enough to wear straight from the field to the patio. That is the beauty of custom softball jerseys for slo-pitch: they are as much lifestyle apparel as they are athletic wear.

Fastpitch softball jerseys demand a different standard than their slo-pitch counterparts. Competitive fastpitch is fast, physical, and played at a high level — the uniforms need to keep up. T-Shirt Elephant supplies performance jerseys and apparel to fastpitch programs across Canada, from youth rep teams in Toronto to adult competitive leagues in Calgary and Vancouver.

Performance T-Shirts for Fastpitch

Many competitive fastpitch teams prefer performance t-shirts over traditional button-front jerseys. The ATC TT11 Pro Team Home & Away Jersey is a top choice for fastpitch squads that want a clean, athletic look with moisture-wicking technology. The two-tone colour blocking and athletic cut give it a professional appearance, while the lightweight polyester construction handles the physical demands of competitive play. Fastpitch teams in Montreal, Edmonton, and Ottawa order the TT11 for its combination of performance, durability, and affordability.

Full-Button Jerseys for Tournament Play

For fastpitch programs that prefer the traditional full-button look, the Sport-Tek ST220 Polyester Button Front Baseball Jersey delivers a structured, professional jersey with a tagless label and open-hem sleeves. The ST220 is popular with high school and rep fastpitch teams that need to meet league uniform requirements while maintaining a polished, competitive appearance on the tournament circuit.

Lightweight Tees for Practice and Training

Fastpitch practice sessions and training camps call for comfortable, breathable tees that hold up to daily wear. The Sport-Tek CE111 Competitor Tee is built for exactly this — 100% polyester with PosiCharge technology that locks in colour and prevents logos from fading. Fastpitch programs across Canada use the CE111 as their daily practice shirt, with team logos screen printed in durable, high-opacity inks.

Tournament-Grade Apparel

Fastpitch tournaments in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver demand uniforms that look sharp through multiple games in a single weekend. Custom softball jerseys for tournament play need to resist wrinkling, dry quickly between games, and maintain their colour through sweat and sun exposure. Every performance jersey in our catalogue is built to handle these demands — because at the tournament level, your team cannot afford to look anything less than professional.

Co-ed softball is one of the most popular recreational formats in Canada, and outfitting a mixed-gender roster presents unique sizing and style challenges. T-Shirt Elephant specializes in co-ed team orders where every player — regardless of size or gender — gets a jersey that fits properly and looks cohesive on the field.

Matching Men's and Women's Styles

The key to great co-ed softball team shirts is offering a wide enough size range that everyone on the roster is comfortable. The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton T-Shirt is available from Small through 5XL and is the most popular choice for co-ed slo-pitch teams across Canada. For women who prefer a more tailored fit, the Gildan L3519 Ladies' Heavy Cotton T-Shirt provides a feminine cut in the same fabric and colours, so the team looks unified while every player wears the fit they prefer.

Size Range Matters

Co-ed slo-pitch rosters in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver typically include players ranging from women's Small to men's 3XL or larger. Ordering a single unisex style forces some players into ill-fitting jerseys. The smarter approach is to offer both the Gildan 5000 and L3519 in the same colour — same print, same design, two fits. Your team looks like a team, and nobody is swimming in fabric or pulling at seams.

Fun Team Designs for Co-Ed Leagues

Co-ed slo-pitch is social by nature — couples, friend groups, and coworkers forming teams together. The designs reflect that energy: matching couple nicknames, humorous team logos, inside jokes turned into chest graphics. Custom softball jerseys for co-ed teams in Edmonton, Montreal, and Winnipeg tend to prioritize personality over polish, and T-Shirt Elephant prints whatever your team dreams up. No design is too bold, too funny, or too niche for our screen printers.

Coordinated Team Packages

For co-ed teams ordering both men's and women's styles, we match the print placement and colours precisely across both garments. The logo hits the same spot on the chest, the numbers align on the back, and the ink colours are identical. When your co-ed softball team shirts line up for the team photo in Ottawa or Winnipeg, the mixed sizes disappear and all you see is a unified team.

The stands at a softball game are just as spirited as the diamond — and the shirts in the bleachers prove it. Custom softball fan shirts have become a staple at tournaments, league games, and championship weekends across Canada. From "Softball Mom" tees to supporter group shirts with player names and numbers, fan apparel is a massive part of the softball experience.

Softball Mom and Dad Shirts

Nothing announces diamond-side pride quite like a "Softball Mom" or "Softball Dad" t-shirt. Parents order custom softball jerseys — or more accurately, custom fan tees — with their child's name, number, and team logo. The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton T-Shirt is the go-to base for parent fan shirts: affordable, available in 40+ colours, and comfortable enough for sitting through back-to-back tournament games in the summer heat in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver.

Youth Fan Shirts

Younger siblings, team mascots, and junior supporters need fan shirts too. The Gildan 500B Heavy Cotton Youth T-Shirt matches the adult 5000 in fabric and colour options, sized for kids. Matching parent-child fan shirts are a popular order for fastpitch tournaments in Montreal and Edmonton — the whole family repping the team from the stands.

Supporter Group Apparel

Competitive fastpitch and slo-pitch teams often have dedicated supporter groups — parents, partners, and friends who travel to tournaments together. These groups order matching fan shirts with the team logo, player roster on the back, and a fun group name. Teams in Ottawa, Winnipeg, and across Ontario use supporter shirts to create a visible cheering section that players can spot from the field.

Funny Slo-Pitch Sayings and Designs

Slo-pitch culture thrives on humour, and fan shirts are no exception. Sayings like "I'm Just Here for the Post-Game," "My Drinking Team Has a Slo-Pitch Problem," and "Diamond Diva" show up on softball team shirts across beer leagues in Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto. T-Shirt Elephant prints these custom designs with no minimum order — even a single shirt for the team's biggest fan.

Canadian softball seasons start early and run late — which means chilly spring evenings, cool fall tournament mornings, and plenty of dugout downtime between innings. Softball team hoodies and warm-up gear are essential for every team, from beer league slo-pitch squads in Edmonton to competitive fastpitch programs in Toronto.

Gildan 1850 Heavy Blend Hoodie — The Post-Game Standard

The Gildan 1850 Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt is the most popular hoodie in our softball catalogue. The 50/50 cotton-polyester blend delivers warmth without excessive weight, and the double-lined hood with matching drawstring keeps you covered during those inevitable rain delays. At an accessible price point, the 1850 is what slo-pitch teams across Calgary, Montreal, and Vancouver order when they want matching dugout hoodies with their team name and logo screen printed on the front.

The 1850 comes in 30+ colours, so matching your custom softball jerseys is straightforward. Teams order hoodies in their primary team colour with a contrasting print — the same logo and team name that appears on their game-day jerseys. The result is a cohesive team look that extends beyond the diamond into the parking lot, the bar, and the rest of the weekend.

Fruit of the Loom SF500 Softspun Hoodie — The Premium Alternative

For teams that want a softer, more fashion-forward hoodie, the Fruit of the Loom SF500 Sofspun Hooded Pullover Sweatshirt offers a lighter, softer feel with a modern fit. The SF500 uses a high-stitch density fleece that resists pilling and maintains its shape through repeated washing. It is the hoodie that fastpitch tournament teams in Winnipeg and Ottawa choose when they want sideline apparel that looks and feels premium.

Dugout Warm-Ups and Tournament Travel

Multi-game tournament weekends require layers. Teams playing three or four games in a single day in Toronto or Vancouver need something to throw on between games to stay loose and warm. Matching softball team hoodies create a professional sideline presence — coaches, players, and supporters all wearing the same colours while cheering from the dugout. It is the small details that separate organized programs from pickup teams.

Matching Sideline Apparel

The most polished softball teams coordinate their entire wardrobe: game jerseys, practice tees, and sideline hoodies all in team colours with consistent branding. T-Shirt Elephant handles multi-item team orders as a single package — order your slo-pitch jerseys Canada game shirts and hoodies together, and we ensure the colours, logo placement, and print quality are consistent across every garment.

The details on a custom softball jersey are what transform a blank garment into a team uniform. Player names, back numbers, sleeve logos, and sponsor branding all come together to create a professional, cohesive look that represents your team on the diamond and beyond.

Player Names and Back Numbers

Individual player names across the upper back and large numbers centred below are the standard layout for softball team shirts and jerseys. We print names and numbers using screen printing for large team orders or heat-applied vinyl for individual customization. Both methods produce durable, professional results that survive a full season of play. Send us your roster spreadsheet with each player's name, number, and size — we handle the rest.

Sleeve and Chest Sponsor Logos

Slo-pitch and recreational softball teams in Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton often secure local sponsors — bars, restaurants, insurance agencies, and trades companies — who cover part of the jersey cost in exchange for logo placement. T-Shirt Elephant prints sponsor logos on sleeves, chest panels, and upper backs with the same quality and precision as the team's own branding. Multi-location prints (front logo + back name/number + sleeve sponsor) are standard for beer league jerseys across Canada.

Team Crest and Logo Printing

Your team crest or logo is the centrepiece of every custom softball jersey. We offer multiple printing methods to reproduce your logo with maximum fidelity: screen printing for bold, opaque colours on dark garments; heat transfer for photographic detail and gradients; and embroidery for a textured, premium feel on hoodies and caps. Our design team provides free artwork review and can clean up or vectorize your logo at no charge.

Printing Methods for Customization

For teams ordering 12+ jerseys with the same design, screen printing is the most cost-effective method for names, numbers, and logos. For smaller orders or teams with individual name customization, heat-applied vinyl names and numbers keep per-unit costs manageable. Teams in Montreal, Vancouver, and Winnipeg mix methods on the same order — screen-printed team logo on the front, heat-applied individual names and numbers on the back — for the best balance of quality and cost.

Choosing the right decoration method for your custom softball jerseys affects durability, appearance, and cost. T-Shirt Elephant offers both screen printing and heat transfer — and the best choice depends on your garment type, design complexity, and order size.

Screen Printing — The Gold Standard for Team Orders

Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh stencil directly onto the fabric, producing bold, vibrant colours with exceptional durability. For softball team shirts ordered in bulk (12+ pieces with the same design), screen printing delivers the lowest per-unit cost and the most vivid results. The ink sits on top of the fabric and creates a slightly textured, professional finish that lasts season after season.

Screen printing is ideal for team logos, team names, and uniform numbers on cotton tees like the Gildan 5000 and performance jerseys like the S3526. Slo-pitch teams in Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton overwhelmingly choose screen printing for their beer league jerseys because the bold colour output and durability cannot be beaten at the price point.

Heat Transfer — Flexibility for Individual Names

Heat transfer uses pre-cut vinyl or digitally printed transfers applied with a heat press. This method excels at individual player names and numbers because each piece can be unique without requiring a new screen. For custom softball jerseys with personalized back names, heat transfer keeps costs manageable on orders of any size.

Heat-applied vinyl produces a smooth, clean finish on performance polyester like the Athletic Knit S3526 and ATC TT11. The vinyl bonds directly to the fabric surface and flexes with the garment during play. Teams in Vancouver, Montreal, and Ottawa use heat transfer for individual player customization while screen printing handles the team logo and front design.

Combining Methods on One Jersey

The most cost-effective approach for slo-pitch jerseys Canada teams is to combine both methods: screen print the team logo and name on the front (same design across all jerseys, lowest per-unit cost), then heat-apply individual player names and numbers on the back. This hybrid approach gives you the visual impact of screen printing with the personalization of heat transfer — all on a single jersey.

Durability for Athletic Use

Both screen printing and heat transfer are engineered to withstand the physical demands of softball — sliding, diving, sweating, and repeated washing. Screen-printed designs on custom softball jerseys will not crack, peel, or fade when cared for properly (cold wash, hang dry or low tumble dry). Heat-applied vinyl maintains its adhesion and colour through 50+ washes when applied correctly. Teams playing full seasons in Winnipeg, Edmonton, and across Canada can expect their printed jerseys to last multiple seasons.

Beer league slo-pitch is where softball meets social life — and the jerseys are the uniform of summer fun. Across Canada, hundreds of recreational slo-pitch leagues run from May through September, filled with teams that take their team names more seriously than their batting averages. T-Shirt Elephant has been the go-to printer for beer league jerseys since 2012, and we understand that for rec slo-pitch, the jersey is the experience.

Fun Team Names Deserve Great Jerseys

The best part of beer league slo-pitch is the team name. "Pitch Perfect," "Sons of Pitches," "Ball Busters," "Smash Mouth," "The Has-Beens" — every league in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver has teams with names that make people laugh from the bleachers. These names deserve jerseys that match the energy. T-Shirt Elephant prints bold, full-chest team name graphics in colours that stand out on the diamond. Your team name is your brand — we make sure it looks legendary on fabric.

Matching Team Look on a Budget

Beer league teams split costs across the roster, and budget matters. The Gildan 5000 t-shirt is the most affordable option for slo-pitch jerseys Canada rec teams — a heavy cotton tee in your team colour with a screen-printed team name and back numbers gives you a complete team look without breaking the bank. For teams that want the authentic baseball jersey feel, the Athletic Knit S3526 full-button jersey steps up the look while still keeping per-player costs reasonable. Either way, T-Shirt Elephant delivers a matching team look that makes your squad stand out on the diamond.

Humorous Designs and Custom Artwork

Rec slo-pitch jerseys are where creativity goes wild. Custom mascots, parody logos, pop culture references, and inside jokes printed across the chest — the more creative, the better. Our screen printers handle any artwork you send, and our design team can help turn a napkin sketch into print-ready art at no extra charge. Teams in Edmonton, Montreal, and Ottawa bring us their wildest ideas, and we bring them to life on custom softball jerseys that become instant conversation starters.

Post-Game Bar Wear

The real test of a great beer league jersey is whether your team wears it to the bar after the game. The S3526 full-button jersey passes that test every time — it looks like a real baseball jersey, feels comfortable after three hours on the field, and draws compliments from the neighbouring table. Cotton tees on the Gildan 5000 are equally bar-ready, especially when the design is sharp and the team name gets laughs. From the diamond in Winnipeg to the patio in Vancouver, slo-pitch jerseys are summer's unofficial dress code.

No Minimum Orders for Late Additions

Beer league rosters are never final. Mid-season additions, substitute players, and "my buddy wants one too" requests happen every week. T-Shirt Elephant has no minimum order requirement on custom softball jerseys — order one shirt or one hundred, same quality, same design consistency. Your late-season pickup in Toronto or Calgary gets the exact same jersey as your opening-day starter.

Softball tournament apparel goes far beyond matching jerseys. Tournaments bring together multiple teams, organizers, volunteers, and fans — and every group needs custom gear that looks sharp, performs under pressure, and ships on time. T-Shirt Elephant has been outfitting softball tournaments across Canada since 2012, and we know exactly what tournament coordinators need.

Tournament Team Kits

A complete softball tournament kit typically includes game jerseys, practice shirts, and warm-up hoodies — all coordinated in team colours. Order S3526 Performance Jerseys ($14.50) for game day and pair them with TT11 Performance Tees ($8.95) for warm-ups and practice sessions. Teams travelling to provincial and national tournaments in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia rely on this combination for a polished, unified look from the hotel lobby to the diamond.

Commemorative Tournament Shirts

Every great softball tournament deserves a commemorative t-shirt. The Gildan 5000 ($4.95) is the go-to for commemorative softball tournament shirts — affordable enough to include in registration packages, durable enough to become a keepsake. Print the tournament name, year, sponsors, and participating teams on the back for a lasting memento. We print thousands of these for weekend slo-pitch tournaments, fastpitch provincials, and charity softball events across Canada.

Bracket Shirts and Event Merchandise

Tournament organizers often sell bracket shirts and event merchandise to offset costs. Screen-printed designs featuring tournament brackets, host city graphics, and sponsor logos turn a simple cotton tee into a revenue generator. Our bulk pricing on the Gildan 5000 makes the margins work — even at modest quantities.

Volunteer and Umpire Crew Shirts

Volunteers, umpires, and tournament staff need to be easily identifiable on the fields. Bright, distinctly coloured custom softball shirts with "VOLUNTEER," "UMPIRE," or "STAFF" printed on the back keep your event organized and professional. The TT11 Performance Tee ($8.95) in high-visibility colours is perfect for outdoor duty — moisture-wicking fabric keeps crew members comfortable through long tournament days in the sun.

Corporate softball is one of the most popular team-building activities across Canada. From annual company picnic slo-pitch games to competitive corporate leagues in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, businesses need custom jerseys that represent their brand on the diamond. T-Shirt Elephant makes corporate softball ordering effortless — from design to delivery.

Corporate Softball Tournaments

Corporate tournaments bring departments, clients, and partners together for a day of friendly competition. Custom S3526 Performance Jerseys ($14.50) printed with your company logo and department names create instant team identity. The moisture-wicking fabric keeps employees comfortable during outdoor events, and the professional appearance reflects well on your organization. Many companies in the GTA, Ottawa, and Edmonton order 50-100+ jerseys for their annual corporate softball tournaments.

Charity Slo-Pitch Events

Charity slo-pitch tournaments raise millions for causes across Canada every summer. Custom charity softball jerseys with sponsor logos, charity branding, and team names turn every player into a walking billboard for the cause. The Gildan 5000 ($4.95) is the budget-friendly choice for large charity events where every dollar saved on shirts goes directly to the cause. For a more athletic option, the TT11 Performance Tee ($8.95) delivers a sport-ready look.

Company Team Building

Nothing builds team spirit like matching custom softball jerseys with the company name on the front and employee names on the back. Corporate teams across Canada order jerseys for summer leagues, inter-office tournaments, and client appreciation events. The shared experience of designing a team jersey together is itself a team-building exercise — and wearing matching gear on the field creates lasting bonds.

Sponsor Jerseys

Sponsors expect visibility, and custom softball jerseys deliver it. Screen-printed sponsor logos on the front, back, and sleeves of team jerseys give sponsors prominent exposure throughout the season. Our screen printing handles multi-colour corporate logos with precision, ensuring brand guidelines are respected. Many slo-pitch leagues in Montreal, Winnipeg, and Halifax require sponsor branding on team jerseys — we make compliance easy.

Youth softball apparel requires proper sizing, durable construction, and parent-friendly pricing. Young athletes playing house league, rep, and school softball across Canada need jerseys that fit their smaller frames without sacrificing performance or style. T-Shirt Elephant carries dedicated youth sizes across our most popular softball jersey and fan shirt styles.

Youth Softball Jerseys

The Athletic Knit S3519 Pro Team Jersey ($14.25) is available in youth sizes, making it an excellent choice for minor softball associations and youth rep teams. The two-tone design with moisture-wicking polyester delivers a professional look that young players love. For a more budget-conscious option, youth-sized TT11 Performance Tees ($8.95) provide moisture management at a lower price point — perfect for house league programs where cost per player matters.

Kids Fan Shirts

Every young softball player wants a fan shirt to wear off the field. The Gildan 500B Youth Tee ($3.61) is the most affordable way to outfit young fans and players with team-branded casual wear. Screen-print the team logo, mascot, and season year for shirts that kids will wear to school, practice, and around town. Parents appreciate the price — at $3.61 per shirt, outfitting the entire team with fan shirts costs less than a single pizza order.

Little League and Minor Softball Associations

Minor softball associations across Canada — from Ontario Minor Softball to BC Minor Softball — outfit hundreds of young players each season. T-Shirt Elephant handles bulk orders for entire associations with consistent quality, accurate size distribution, and on-time delivery. We work directly with association coordinators to manage rosters, sizes, and team colour assignments for youth softball jerseys across multiple divisions.

Youth Sizing Guide

Youth softball players typically range from ages 5 to 14, spanning sizes YXS through YXL. Our youth garments are properly proportioned for young bodies — shorter torsos, narrower shoulders, and shorter sleeves than adult sizes. We recommend ordering one size up for players who are between sizes or growing quickly. Contact our team for help with size distribution across your youth softball roster.

Transparent pricing is a core value at T-Shirt Elephant. When you order custom softball apparel, you see real-time pricing in our online designer — no hidden fees, no surprise setup charges. Blank garment pricing starts at just $3.61 CAD and scales down further with volume.

Softball Apparel Pricing

Decoration Pricing

Decoration costs are added to the blank garment price. Screen-printed team names and numbers typically add $5–12 per jersey for 1–2 colour designs. Embroidered logos add $5–12 per placement. Sublimated softball jerseys are priced as a complete package since the decoration is built into the jersey itself.

Volume Discounts

The more custom softball apparel you order, the less you pay per unit. Pricing tiers adjust automatically: 12+ standard team pricing, 24+ moderate volume discount, 48+ best published tier, 100+ contact us for wholesale quotes. Softball associations ordering for multiple teams routinely hit the highest discount tiers.

Free Shipping Over $250 CAD

All orders over $250 CAD ship free anywhere in Canada. For a typical 12-player softball team order with decoration, you will easily clear this threshold — making the effective per-player cost even lower.

Getting sizing right is critical for custom softball jerseys. Softball teams are uniquely diverse — co-ed leagues mix men and women on the same roster, youth divisions span ages 5 through 14, and individual players range from petite to 4XL. T-Shirt Elephant carries the broadest size range in Canadian custom apparel to ensure every player on your roster gets a jersey that fits.

Collecting Sizes from Your Team

The most common mistake softball team managers make is guessing at sizes. We recommend sending every player a link to the specific garment's size chart before placing your order. Our product pages include detailed measurements — chest width, body length, and sleeve length — for every size from XS to 4XL. Collecting accurate sizes upfront prevents costly exchanges and delays that can disrupt your season.

Co-Ed Size Ranges

Co-ed slo-pitch teams are the most challenging to size because the same jersey needs to fit both men and women. The S3526 Performance Jersey and S3519 Pro Team Jersey are available in sizes XS through 4XL, accommodating the full range of body types you will find on a co-ed roster. Women on the team who prefer a more fitted silhouette can typically size down one from the unisex chart.

Women’s Options

For women-only softball leagues and teams, we carry women’s-cut garments that offer a more tailored fit through the shoulders, waist, and hips. Women’s performance tees and fan shirts are available in sizes XS through 3XL. If your league requires a specific women’s style, contact our team — we source from multiple Canadian distributors to find the right fit.

Youth Sizing

Youth softball players typically wear sizes YXS through YXL (ages 5–14). Our youth garments are properly proportioned for growing bodies — not just scaled-down adult jerseys. The Gildan 500B ($3.61) and youth-sized performance tees use measurements tailored to young athletes. We recommend ordering one size up for players who are between sizes or expected to grow during the season.

Timing your custom softball jersey order correctly ensures your team is suited up and ready for opening day. Softball seasons across Canada follow predictable patterns — and understanding when to place your order makes the difference between a stress-free season and a scramble for last-minute rush production.

Spring and Summer Outdoor Season

The primary outdoor softball season runs from May through August across most of Canada. Slo-pitch leagues in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton typically begin registration in March, with games starting in May. We recommend placing your custom softball jersey order by early April to allow 10 business days for standard production and shipping. This gives you jerseys in hand before the first pitch.

Fall League Season

Fall softball leagues run from September through October in most Canadian cities. These shorter seasons are popular with teams that want to extend their playing time or try a new league. Order by mid-August for fall league jerseys — our standard 10-business-day production timeline ensures delivery before September openers.

Tournament Scheduling

Softball tournaments happen every weekend from May through September across Canada. If you are entering a specific tournament, work backward from the event date: allow 10 business days for standard production, plus 3–5 business days for shipping. For tight timelines, our rush production option delivers in 5–7 business days. Contact us at [email protected] for tournament rush orders.

When to Order

The best time to order custom softball apparel is 3–4 weeks before you need it. This allows time for design approval, production, and shipping without paying rush fees. Teams that order early also get first pick of colour availability — popular colours like Royal, Red, and Navy sell out faster in peak season. Do not wait until the week before your first game — plan ahead and save stress and money.

Proper care extends the life of your custom softball jerseys and keeps them looking sharp from opening day to playoffs. Softball gear takes a beating — grass stains, diamond dirt, sweat, and sun exposure all take their toll. Follow these care guidelines to keep your team looking professional all season long.

Washing Performance Jerseys

Performance polyester jerseys like the S3526 and S3519 should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Turn jerseys inside out before washing to protect screen-printed designs, numbers, and logos from abrasion. Use a mild, liquid detergent — avoid powder detergents that can leave residue in the fabric weave. Never use bleach on printed garments, even on white jerseys, as it degrades both the fabric and the decoration.

Grass and Dirt Stain Removal

Softball jerseys inevitably encounter grass and infield dirt. For grass stains, pre-treat with a stain remover or a paste of baking soda and water before washing. For red clay and diamond dirt, rinse the stained area with cold water immediately after the game — hot water sets dirt stains permanently. A pre-soak in cold water with oxygen-based stain remover for 30 minutes before washing handles most softball-specific stains effectively.

Drying Polyester Jerseys

The number one enemy of custom softball jerseys is the clothes dryer. High heat damages polyester fibres, causes shrinkage, and can crack or peel screen-printed designs. Always tumble dry on low heat or — better yet — hang dry your jerseys. Polyester dries quickly at room temperature, so hang drying adds minimal time. Never iron directly over printed areas. If wrinkles need attention, iron on the reverse side with a low-heat setting or use a steamer.

Storing Your Team Gear

Store custom softball jerseys folded or hung in a cool, dry location. Avoid storing damp jerseys in equipment bags — mildew develops quickly on damp fabric and creates odours that are extremely difficult to remove. After your last game of the season, wash all team gear thoroughly, dry completely, and store flat in a clean, dry space until next season.

T-Shirt Elephant ships custom softball jerseys and apparel to every province and territory in Canada. From downtown Toronto to rural Alberta, from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland — your team gear arrives on time, every time. We ship from our production facility in the Greater Toronto Area using Canada Post and Purolator for reliable nationwide coverage.

Free Shipping Over $250

All orders over $250 CAD ship free anywhere in Canada. For a typical softball team order of 12+ jerseys with screen-printed names and numbers, you will easily clear this threshold. There are no hidden shipping surcharges, no fuel fees, and no remote area upcharges — $250 and above ships free to every Canadian postal code.

Standard Delivery Times

Standard production takes 10 business days from artwork approval. Shipping adds 2–5 business days depending on your location: Ontario and Quebec receive orders in 2–3 business days, the Prairies and Atlantic provinces in 3–4 business days, and British Columbia and the territories in 4–5 business days. Plan your order accordingly to have custom softball jerseys in hand before your first game.

Rush Orders for Tournaments

Need custom softball jerseys fast? Our rush production option delivers in 5–7 business days from artwork approval — perfect for last-minute tournament entries, replacement jerseys, or teams that formed late in the season. Rush fees apply and depend on order size and decoration complexity. Contact us at [email protected] with your deadline and we will confirm what is possible.

Order Tracking

Every order ships with full tracking. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your custom softball apparel leaves our facility. Track your package online through Canada Post or Purolator to know exactly when it will arrive. For large association orders shipping to multiple addresses, we can split shipments and provide individual tracking numbers for each destination.
