Pad-Ready Custom Football Jerseys & Uniforms

How our football jerseys are built over shoulder pads

Game jerseys are 200 to 240gsm polyester, with spandex panels set into the shoulder and side seams. Those panels let the jersey sit over pads without the body riding up, and they leave opponents no loose fabric to grab.

Skill and lineman cuts are graded separately. A lineman jersey is fuller in the chest and shorter in the body; a skill jersey is cut tight with a shorter sleeve. Using one block for an entire roster is the most frequent mistake we find in the tech packs teams send us.

Numbers are either sublimated into the panel or stitched down in tackle twill, never heat-pressed on top. After a season of contact and washing, a pressed number starts to lift at a corner, and once that happens it peels.

The pant matters as much as the jersey. On integrated pants the pad pockets are part of the pattern instead of being sewn in afterward, which keeps the pads from shifting during play and lets the jersey and pant be ordered as one uniform.

Built this way: jersey and pant uniform packages and over-pad practice jerseys.

Football jersey number rules under NFHS and NCAA

NFHS calls for numbers 8 inches tall on the front of the jersey and 10 inches on the back, in a color with clear contrast against the jersey body, and NCAA uses the same heights. Both codes limit the use of the number 0 and prohibit duplicate numbers on the field at the same time. Include your league's current rulebook page with the brief: the heights rarely change, but trim and contrast rules are updated more often than most programs expect.

Sizing adult and youth football uniforms in pads

If you know the make and model of your shoulder pads, tell us. Fit over pads differs more between manufacturers than between players, so it is the most useful detail you can share at the brief stage. Custom youth football uniforms come from their own patterns, not adult blocks scaled down, and the skill and lineman split applies to the size breakdown as well. For a first order, we strongly recommend adding a size set to the sample. Charts covering youth and women's blocks

Fit in practice: compression shirts worn under the pads.

The football programs we supply

Our football customers are high school programs replacing uniforms on a rotation, youth and Pop Warner organizations covering several weight classes, 7v7 circuit teams, and semi-pro and developmental clubs ordering game and practice sets together. When practice jerseys are ordered alongside custom football jerseys for game night, both are made from one brief, the practice version lighter and with sublimated numbers instead of twill.

Often ordered: a color-matched away set and receiver-style team gloves.
