Custom 7-on-7 Football Uniforms: Design, Pricing & Bulk Order Guide
7-on-7 tournaments demand uniforms that fit tight schedules and competitive budgets. Here's what you need to know about customizing jerseys, compression shorts and gear for your team.
What Are Custom 7-on-7 Football Uniforms?
7-on-7 football is passing-league flag football played by 7 athletes per side, focusing on offensive and defensive skills without heavy contact or pads. Unlike traditional tackle football, 7-on-7 uniforms are lightweight, form-fitting and designed for speed and visibility—not protection. Teams competing in summer camps, showcase tournaments and high-school 7-on-7 leagues need custom kits that look sharp, fit close to the body and arrive fast.
A full 7-on-7 uniform typically includes a fitted sublimated jersey, compression shorts, arm sleeves, socks and often a warm-up hoodie or travel tee. Because tournaments run back-to-back throughout summer, many teams order multiple color combinations or home-and-away sets, and need production to fit tight deadlines.
Why Custom Uniforms Matter for 7-on-7 Teams
7-on-7 is a recruiting and development tool. Coaches use tournaments to evaluate talent, scouts attend to find prospects, and players want to stand out. A polished, custom uniform gives your team a professional edge and helps individual players get noticed.
- Recruitment visibility: Matched jerseys with clean numbers and sponsor logos make your team recognizable in highlight videos and photographer shots.
- Team unity: Custom kits build confidence and cohesion, especially for teams that travel to multiple tournaments.
- Flexibility: Many 7-on-7 programs run multiple rosters or age groups—custom uniforms let you differentiate teams by color or design.
- Quick turnaround: 7-on-7 season runs June through August, so you need a supplier who can deliver in 3–6 weeks.
7-on-7 Uniform Components and Pricing
When you order custom 7-on-7 uniforms, you're building a kit from individual pieces. Here's what's included and how pricing scales with quantity.
Core Uniform Set
Most 7-on-7 teams start with a jersey and compression shorts package. This is your match uniform—worn during tournament play.
- 7-on-7 Jerseys: Fitted, lightweight sublimated jerseys with bold graphics, player numbers and team logo. Costs range from $18.50 (10–24 pieces) down to $10.50 (250+) per piece.
- Compression Shorts: Stretch compression shorts with side graphics, often in contrasting color to the jersey. Priced from $16 (10–24) to $9 (250+) per piece.
- Uniform Set (Jersey + Shorts): Ordering as a package saves money. A single uniform set costs $32 (10–24 pieces) down to $18.50 (250+).
Add-On Gear
To complete a tournament-ready kit, many teams add arm sleeves, socks, warm-up tees and hoodies.
- Arm Sleeves: Compression sleeves with printed numbers or graphics. $6–$3.50 per pair depending on volume.
- Team Socks: Crew or knee-high socks in team colors. $6–$3 per pair.
- Warm-up Tees: Pre-game tees with team logo for travel and dryland. $10.50–$6 per piece.
- Team Hoodies: Travel and sideline hoodies in fleece. $27.50–$16 per piece.
- Headbands & Wristbands: Sweat-wicking accessories in team colors. $4.50–$2.50 per piece.
Tournament Kit Package
For a full, ready-to-compete package, many teams buy the Tournament Kit: Jersey + Compression Shorts + Arm Sleeves + Socks. This costs $43.50 (10–24 pieces) down to $25.50 (250+) per set. That includes everything a player needs on game day.
Full Team Package
If you want uniforms for practice, travel and tournament play, the Full Team Package (Tournament Kit + Warm-up Tee + Hoodie + Team Backpack) runs $121 (10–24 pieces) to $69 (250+). This is ideal for showcase camps or programs running multiple teams through a summer.
Cost Per Player in Different Order Sizes
Here's how cost-per-player breaks down for three common scenarios:
| Order Size | Core Uniform | Tournament Kit | Full Team Package |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10–24 players | $32 | $43.50 | $121 |
| 25–49 players | $29 | $39 | $108 |
| 50–99 players | $25.50 | $34.50 | $95 |
| 100–249 players | $22 | $30 | $81.50 |
| 250+ players | $18.50 | $25.50 | $69 |
Most 7-on-7 programs order 15–40 uniforms (one or two travel rosters). At 20 uniforms, a Tournament Kit averages $43.50 per player, plus any extras like a second color uniform or fan wear.
Design and Customization Options
7-on-7 is all about speed and visibility, so your design should match that energy.
Fabric and Fit
We use Pro Mesh—a lightweight, 2-way stretch 100% polyester fabric that is sublimation-ready. It's breathable, quick-drying and allows unrestricted movement. The mesh is available in any stock color or any Pantone match, so you can customize your primary and secondary colors without limits.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation is the best choice for 7-on-7 jerseys. The design is printed into the fabric itself—not on top—so it won't crack, peel or fade even after dozens of washes and tournaments. You get unlimited colors, gradients, sponsor logos and player numbers all in one print. Sublimation versus other methods gives you sharper detail and durability.
Player Numbers and Names
Sublimated numbers and names are standard. You can also request tackle twill (stitched) numbers for a classic pro look, though this costs more and adds time. Most 7-on-7 teams go with sublimation for speed and cost.
Logos and Sponsors
Your team crest, tournament sponsor logo, or camp emblem can be printed directly into the jersey design. We handle artwork preparation—send us your AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or PNG file and we'll prepare it for production.
Color Combinations
Many teams order home and away uniforms—a primary color set and a contrasting color set for tournament play. For example, blue and white home, then blue and gold away. Each set counts as a separate style, so you need a minimum 10-piece order per color. At 20 total players with two uniforms each, you're ordering 20 home and 20 away—well above MOQ.
Turnaround Time for 7-on-7 Uniforms
7-on-7 season runs June through August, and many tournaments fill up fast. Here's what to expect from order to delivery:
- Design approval: We send a free digital mockup within 1–2 business days. You approve the colors, design and sizing, then we get production approval.
- Production: After approval, typical production is 3–6 weeks depending on quantity and complexity. Smaller orders (10–50 pieces) often finish faster than large custom bulk orders.
- Delivery: Worldwide delivery is included in all prices. For US orders, expect 5–10 business days by standard courier after production ends.
- Urgent deadlines: If you have a tournament in 4 weeks, tell us immediately. We can often expedite, though options depend on current production load.
The key: Order early. If your first tournament is July 15, order by mid-May to give us 8 weeks buffer for approval, production and delivery.
How to Order Custom 7-on-7 Uniforms
Step 1: Choose Your Style and Quantity
Decide whether you want just a core uniform (jersey + shorts), a full tournament kit, or add warm-up gear. Then count your roster—are you ordering for one team or two (home and away)? Mixed sizes and youth/adult sizes count toward the same MOQ, so no waste.
Step 2: Select Colors and Design
Pick your primary and secondary colors from our stock color chart, or provide a Pantone reference for a custom match. Prepare your logo artwork—a high-res file (AI, EPS, PDF) works best. If you don't have artwork, we can design it for you.
Step 3: Request a Free Mockup
Send your team name, logo, colors and player roster (or roster template) to https://cjpapparel.com/contact. We'll create a free digital mockup showing your design on the jersey and shorts. Review it, request changes, and once approved, we move to production.
Step 4: Approve Sample (Optional)
If you want to check fabric quality and fit before bulk production, we can ship a physical sample. Any sample fee is confirmed in your quote.
Step 5: Production and Delivery
After all approvals, we cut, print and sew your uniforms. You'll receive tracking info and your order arrives ready to wear. We can pack by player, size or team to make distribution easy.
Sizing and Fit for 7-on-7
7-on-7 jerseys are fitted, not baggy. We grade sizes from youth XS (for young receivers) to adult 5XL (for larger linemen in off-season 7s). Every sport page includes detailed size charts. We recommend ordering a size set—one of each size in your range—before bulk production so your team can try on and choose the right fit.
Why Choose a Dedicated 7-on-7 Uniform Supplier
7-on-7 has unique demands. You need:
- Speed: 3–6 week turnaround, not 10+ weeks.
- Fit: Compression shorts and fitted jerseys, not loose game gear.
- Design flexibility: Multiple color options, home and away sets, and fast mockups.
- Tournament pricing: Affordable per-player cost even for smaller rosters (10–30 pieces).
- Reliability: You need uniforms to arrive before game day, every time.
Our 7-on-7 uniform page is built for tournament teams. We've worked with summer camps, high-school 7-on-7 programs and showcase teams, and we know the calendar pressure. Our minimum is just 10 pieces per style, and all prices include delivery worldwide, so there are no surprise costs.
Common 7-on-7 Uniform Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering too late: June is peak 7-on-7 season. If you order in June, you may miss July tournaments. Plan for May delivery.
- Choosing the wrong fabric: Screen-printed jerseys can crack and look amateur. Sublimation is sharper, more durable and cheaper for full-color designs.
- Ignoring sizing: Compression shorts should fit snug. Always get a size set sample so players aren't uncomfortable during competition.
- Forgetting about warm-ups: You need travel tees and hoodies for before-tournament prep, not just match gear. Factor that into your order and budget.
- Assuming MOQ is too high: Many suppliers won't touch orders under 50 pieces. We start at 10, so even small teams and clubs can get custom kits.

Frequently asked questions
01What's the minimum order for 7-on-7 uniforms?+
The minimum is 10 pieces per style. You can mix youth and adult sizes, and if you order home and away colors, each is a separate style (so 10 home + 10 away = 20 total). Most 7-on-7 teams order 15–50 uniforms depending on roster size and whether they want multiple color sets.
02How much does a custom 7-on-7 uniform cost per player?+
For a core uniform (jersey + shorts), costs range from $32 per player (orders of 10–24) down to $18.50 (orders of 250+). A full Tournament Kit with arm sleeves and socks runs $43.50–$25.50 per player depending on volume. All prices include worldwide delivery.
03How long does production take before my tournament?+
Typical turnaround is 3–6 weeks after artwork approval. If your tournament is in 8 weeks, you have plenty of time. For urgent deadlines under 4 weeks, contact us immediately—we can often expedite smaller orders, but availability depends on current production load.
04Can I order home and away uniforms in different colors?+
Yes. Many 7-on-7 teams order two color sets—for example, blue/white home and blue/gold away. Each color counts as a separate style with a 10-piece minimum, so you need 10+ of each color. This gives you flexibility for tournament scheduling.
05What printing method is best for 7-on-7 jerseys?+
Sublimation is the best choice. The design is printed into the fabric, so it won't crack or fade. You get unlimited colors, logos and player numbers all in one print, and it's more affordable than tackle twill stitching. <a href="/blog/sublimation-vs-screen-printing-vs-embroidery">Learn more about printing methods</a>.
