How to Make Your Own Volleyball Jerseys

Many online volleyball jersey suppliers allow you to customize your jerseys with design software.

There are a number of ways to make your own volleyball jerseys. Some are more labor-intensive than others. One option is to buy a set of identical blank T-shirts or athletic jerseys and personalize them by silk-screening, tie-dying or writing a team name and your number on them. An easier way to outfit your team is to find an online supplier that has customization software which allows you to design and order jerseys to your own specifications. When you add up the material and supply costs associated with option one, creating and ordering your jerseys online may be the less-expensive option..

Instructions

1. Log-on to the internet and search for online suppliers of customizable volleyball jerseys. Pick a likely supplier and follow the links to the jersey customization page.

2. Select a jersey style and material. Typical style options include long-sleeve, short-sleeve or sleeveless jerseys, crew neck, v-neck or polo collars, and form or relaxed fit. Materials available are usually cotton, polyester or some blend of the two.

3. Pick a base color for the jersey. You will usually be provided with six or seven color choices.

4. Choose one of the pre-selected logo and number-design patterns. Most will be differentiated by various fonts for your team name, your last name and your number. A basic color scheme for the design will include one color with black or white.

5. Customize your jerseys by providing a team name for the logo, and the last names and numbers of your teammates.

6. Follow the links to the order or "check out" page. Confirm the details of your order and provide your full mailing address, your e-mail and your payment information. Most online suppliers will allow you to pay with credit card, or by making a direct payment via a PayPal account or online banking.

7. Submit your order. You should receive a confirmation e-mail with the order details and a tracking number.

Tips & Warnings

• Look into a few different supplier options before you select one. Consider years in business as well as materials used and cost. Don't forget to factor in shipping fees; the further away you are from the supplier, the higher your shipping costs. You may be eligible for discounts depending on the size of your order. Generally speaking you will pay less when you purchase a full set of team jerseys.

• Be careful of hidden costs associated with multiple color requests and/or XL sizes. Be sure the website is secure before you offer your credit card information; most secured websites will have a little lock symbol in one of the corners of the webpage.
