Whether for sports teams, corporate groups, or school organizations, well-designed uniforms build team identity. Here's how to create great team apparel.

Planning Your Team Uniforms

Consider Your Purpose - **Sports teams**: Performance fabrics, bold designs, player numbers - **Corporate teams**: Professional look, subtle branding, comfort - **School groups**: Durability, inclusive sizing, budget-friendly

Key Design Elements 1. **Logo placement**: Typically left chest or center chest 2. **Name/number customization**: Back or sleeves 3. **Color scheme**: Match your brand or team colors 4. **Typography**: Choose readable fonts

Sizing Considerations - Order size samples before committing to bulk orders - Account for different body types - Consider offering both men's and women's cuts - Include extended sizes (XS-4XL when possible)

Garment Selection Tips - **Sports**: Moisture-wicking polyester blends - **Corporate**: Polos or button-downs in cotton blends - **Casual**: Soft cotton t-shirts or hoodies

Budget Planning - Get quotes for multiple quantities to find price breaks - Consider ordering extras for new team members - Plan for annual refresh or replacement needs

Common Mistakes to Avoid - Not ordering samples first - Forgetting about extended sizes - Choosing style over comfort - Not planning for future orders

A great uniform makes everyone feel like part of the team.
