    Instructions

        Go to the source. Whether using an Internet or local store, request a catalog of their selections. Ask them to go through and cross out what they don't actually have or include samples of new items not included in the printed catalog.

        Choose the colors. Jersey color is the most obvious choice in softball jersey design. However, many shirts come with contrasting edges, too. Check the catalog to see if that's an option and decide if the team wants additional colors. If this is a school team, obviously team colors are the basic choice with detailing being a free choice. Pickup teams can do whatever they want with any of the options.

        Decide on detailing. On top of colors, jerseys can also have pinstripes, polka dots or any number of other patterns printed on them.

        Plan the printing. Usually the last name of the player appears on the back of the jersey across the top. Underneath it in large letters is the number. On the front right chest, the team name or emblem appears. Play with a variety of options until it fits with the rest of the design.

        Decide on the font. Block letters look the most professional, but professional isn't always the top choice for softball jerseys. Some teams prefer cursive writing for a girlie edge. Whatever the choice, make sure it's legible so that umpires and officials can read them.

    Tips & Warnings

    • When choosing a font, try putting a long last name on the back of the jersey based on how those letters fit on the shirt. Some people have really long last names, so prepare to deal with those situations by either choosing a small font to begin with or letting their jerseys be a little different by having a smaller font themselves.
