How to Make Your Own Basketball Jersey Design

When you are putting together a basketball team, whether it is for school or a tournament, you will want a team jersey that helps you stand out from the crowd. Not only will you be able to deck yourself out in your team's colors, but you will also be able to pick out your own numbers and have your name placed onto the back of the jersey as well.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with an Internet connection

Instructions

1. Select the link provided in "Resources." This link will lead to TheSportingStore.com's basketball custom jersey builder. From here you will be able to design your jersey to look exactly how you would like it.

2. Select a jersey and shorts style. Do this by clicking the down arrow next to "Jersey Style." The styles will be represented in code numbers, so it may be hard to determine what you like. For help, scrowl down the page to view the designs of basketball jerseys. The different designs will have code numbers. Find the particular code you like and select it in the "Jersey Style" pull down menu.

3. Decide on the fabric you would like your jersey to have. You can chose from several different kinds of mesh, knit, cotton and spandex.

4. Chose the colors you want your uniforms to be in. The first is "Body Color." This is the main color of the jersey. Select the color by clicking the pull down arrow next to "Body Color." Once you have the color selected move on to "Neck Trim." This is the colored stripe that goes around the neck of the jersey. You don't need to have a color here if you choose not to. Move to the "Arm Trim" and select the colors as you did with the neck color. Again, if you don't want a color here leave it at "None."

5. Click "Customize Lettering" to enter the type mode. This will allow you to enter the text for your team name, as well as the player name. Once this has been done choose the color of the lettering, as well as the number color. In addition you can decide on the font, as well as the location of the names and numbers. To do all of these, click the pull-down menus next to the option and select the layout that you would like.

6. Click "Size & Number" and you will move onto the input of the actual player name. Type the player name into the "Player Name" box (you will need to do this for each player). Select the size of the jersey you would like and type in the jersey number you would like. Once you are finished click the "Update Preview" button and you will be shown an image of what the jersey will now look like.

7. Select the "E-mail/Print Jersey" option. Here you will need to input your name, e-mail address, phone number, the number of jerseys you need and the date you need the jerseys by. You will be notified via e-mail when the company has received your order regarding the billing and purchasing process.
