Custom Cricket Uniforms: Design, Fit & Bulk Pricing
Custom cricket uniforms need to work across formats—from traditional whites to T20 colors. We break down fabric choices, fit considerations, decoration options and the real cost per player when ordering for your club or academy.
Quick answer: Custom cricket uniforms start at $46 per whites set (shirt + trousers) or $53 per T20 kit (shirt + trousers + cap) in small quantities, with prices dropping as you order more. Fabric, fit, printing method and decoration style all affect the final cost and how long your uniforms last through the season.
Why Custom Cricket Uniforms Matter
Cricket is unique: your team might need multiple uniform formats. Whites for test and county cricket, colored T20 or one-day shirts, training gear, and sometimes even reversible practice pinnies. A good custom uniform program covers all of that without breaking the budget or sacrificing fit and durability.
Off-the-shelf cricket gear rarely fits well across a mixed-age squad, fades quickly under sun and repeated washing, and can't carry your club crest or sponsors properly. Custom uniforms solve all three problems at a reasonable cost when you order in bulk.
Cricket Uniform Formats and What Each Needs
Traditional Whites
Whites are the foundation of any cricket program. They're worn in test cricket, county matches, and many league fixtures. A proper whites set includes a shirt with a collar (short or long sleeve depending on season) and white trousers with reinforced knees.
The shirt fabric matters here: polyester piqué is the standard because it resists creasing, breathes in hot weather, and holds a printed or embroidered crest without pilling. Some clubs prefer smooth interlock for a crisper appearance and sharper sponsor logos.
Trousers need stretch and durability. A polyester blend with spandex gives players freedom to move while reinforced knees protect against wear when sliding or diving. Expect to pay $46–$51 per whites set depending on quantity.
Colored T20 and One-Day Uniforms
T20 and ODI cricket calls for bold colors and full sublimation. Your shirt can be any team color, fully printed with sponsors, player numbers, and even individual names. Trousers typically match or coordinate—often black, navy, or a tonal shade of the shirt color.
These are where custom printing really shines. Sublimation lets you print unlimited colors, sponsor logos, and graphics directly into the fabric. The design won't crack, peel, or fade like a screen print or heat transfer would after 50 washes.
A T20 kit (shirt + trousers + cap) runs $53–$56 per player at entry quantities, dropping to $30 when you order 250+.
Training Polos and Sweaters
Training and net sessions need different gear. Training polos in quick-drying mesh work well for practice, while classic V-neck sweaters and sleeveless slipovers add warmth without restricting arm movement. These pieces also carry your club crest, building team identity off the field.
A training polo costs $16–$12 per piece depending on quantity; a sweater runs $34–$20.
Fabric Choices for Cricket Gear
Fabric is the first decision, because it affects durability, comfort, print quality, and cost.
- Polyester Piqué (180–220 gsm): Textured honeycomb knit, crease-resistant, classic polo look. Best for whites shirts and training polos. Takes embroidery well. Stock colours in white, cream, and navy.
- Smooth Interlock (160–190 gsm): Opaque, crisp surface for high-detail sublimation. Ideal for T20 and sponsor-heavy designs. Holds its shape wash after wash. Available in any color.
- Pro Mesh (140–160 gsm): Lightweight, 2-way stretch, breathable open-hole knit. Best for training and practice tops where airflow matters. Sublimation-ready in any color.
- Stretch Double-Knit (250–320 gsm): For trousers. Strong but flexible, resists pulling, keeps color after many washes. Reinforced at knees and seat.
Fit and Sizing Across Age Groups
Cricket squads span youth to adult players. A professional size grading system ensures consistent fit from youth small to adult 3XL or larger. Arm length, shoulder width, and torso length should all scale predictably, so players in the same size always feel the same in their kit.
Before you commit to 100+ uniforms, order a size-set sample—one piece in each size your squad needs. Try them on your actual players and note any tweaks: longer sleeves, wider shoulders, higher rise on trousers. These adjustments are made once, then locked in for every reorder.
Women's and men's cuts differ in shoulder width, sleeve length, and waist height. Make sure your manufacturer offers both and doesn't just grade men's sizes down.
Decoration: Crests, Sponsors and Player Details
How you add your club crest, sponsor logos, and player numbers affects both cost and durability.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation prints colors directly into polyester fabric at the dye level. The result: no cracking, peeling, or fading, even after 100+ washes. Unlimited colors. Perfect for T20 shirts with multiple sponsors, gradients, or photographic elements. Cost: included in the base piece price. No upcharge for one sponsor or 10.
Embroidery
Stitched logos on caps, polos, blazers, and training tops. Premium look, durable, professional. Cost: $3–$8 per piece depending on design size and stitch count. Best for club crests and single-color logos.
Tackle Twill
Stitched-on numbers and player names for a classic pro look. Popular on whites shirts and formal match wear. Cost: $2–$5 per number or name depending on size.
Heat Transfer
Fast, sharp, good for names and numbers on a budget. Less durable than twill or embroidery after 20+ washes, but perfectly adequate for training or lower-tier club cricket. Cost: $1–$3 per transfer.

Production Timeline and Planning
Standard production is 3–6 weeks after artwork and sample approval. That means:
- Week 1: Send your enquiry with player count, formats needed (whites, T20, training), and any existing designs. Receive a free digital mockup in your colors.
- Week 2–3: Review the mockup, request changes, approve artwork. Optionally order a physical sample to check fabric and fit.
- Week 4–9: Production and quality checks. Uniforms are packed by player or size and shipped worldwide.
If you have a tournament or match deadline, tell your manufacturer immediately. Urgent orders may be possible, but realistic timelines depend on quantity and complexity.
Tips for Ordering Custom Cricket Uniforms
Plan for multiple formats. Whites wear differently than T20 gear. Both need to fit your squad and carry your identity. A full club package saves money and ensures consistency.
Check fabric weight for your climate. In hot regions, lightweight mesh and open-weave fabrics breathe better. In cooler climates, a heavier interlock holds warmth and shape.
Order a sample before the full run. Even a size-set sample (one piece per size in your squad) catches fit issues and decoration problems before you commit to 100+ pieces.
Keep artwork files updated. Save your approved design in multiple formats (EPS, PDF, PNG). Your manufacturer keeps them on file for reorders—just send updated rosters and you're done.
Build in reorder cushion. Order 5–10% extra pieces for growth, injured players, or replacements. Stored uniforms last years if kept dry.
Reordering and Long-Term Planning
Cricket programs often reorder every 1–3 years. Your manufacturer should keep your artwork, size specs, and player-packing instructions on file. A reorder is as simple as: send your new roster, confirm sizing, and approve the production plan.
If your team grows or you add a new format (e.g., women's fixtures), the same artwork adjusts easily. You won't start from scratch.
Why Work with a Cricket-Focused Manufacturer
Cricket has specific needs: whites that don't yellow, T20 colors that pop, caps that fit over helmets, and trousers that move with sliding and diving. A manufacturer who understands cricket will suggest fabrics and fit options that generic sportswear factories won't.
At CJP APPAREL, we've made cricket uniforms for academies, county clubs, and international sides. We know the difference between a batting crease shirt and a fielding cut, how to grade women's sizes properly, and which fabrics hold up to sub-continent heat and humidity.

Frequently asked questions
01What's the minimum order for custom cricket uniforms?+
The minimum is 10 pieces per style. Mixed youth and adult sizes count toward the MOQ. So if you need 5 youth whites sets and 5 adult sets, that's 10 total and you qualify for entry pricing.
02Can I order whites and T20 kits in the same order?+
Yes. They're treated as separate styles, each with a 10-piece minimum. So an order of 15 whites sets and 20 T20 kits works fine—you pay tiered pricing based on quantity in each style.
03How long does it take from order to delivery?+
Typically 3–6 weeks after artwork approval and any sample approval. That includes production, quality checks, and worldwide delivery. If you have a tournament deadline, tell us upfront—we'll give you the most realistic timeline.
04Do the prices include delivery?+
Yes. All displayed prices include worldwide delivery to one address. Import duties or local taxes (where your country charges them) are confirmed separately in your quote.
05What fabrics work best for whites shirts?+
Polyester piqué (180–220 gsm) is the standard—it's crease-resistant, breathes well, and resists pilling. For a crisper look with sponsor logos, smooth interlock is excellent. Both are available in white and cream.
