Custom Softball Uniforms: Design, Pricing & Bulk Order Guide

Quick answer: Custom softball uniforms begin at 10 pieces minimum (mixed sizes allowed), with individual items priced from $14–23 per piece depending on quantity. A complete team kit including jersey, pants, visor and socks costs from $38.50 per set at 100+ pieces. You get a free digital mockup, 3–6 week production, and worldwide delivery included in all prices.

What Softball Uniforms Include: Individual Items vs. Packages

A softball uniform isn't just a jersey. Teams typically order several pieces to outfit players for games, practice and off-field wear. Understanding what each component costs helps you build the right package for your budget and season.

Individual items let you mix and match. A softball jersey costs between $11.50 and $20.50 per piece depending on order size. Pants run $14–23 each. Visors, caps and headbands range from $2.50–$8 per piece. Arm sleeves, socks and bat backpacks complete the accessories.

Pre-built packages offer better value. The "Simple Uniform" (jersey + pants) starts at $25.50 per set for 250+ pieces; at 10–24 pieces it's $39 per set. The "Complete Team Kit" (jersey + pants + visor + socks) costs $33 per set at 250+ pieces or $53 at the smallest quantities. The full "Softball Package" (jersey + pants + visor + socks + headband + arm sleeves + backpack + hoodie) is $75 per set at 250+ pieces or $121 at 10–24 pieces.

Mixing sizes within your order doesn't change the per-piece price. A team ordering 25 jerseys can request youth small through adult 2XL, and you still qualify for the 25–49 tier pricing.

Fabric Choices for Softball Performance

Fabric affects how your uniform feels, breathes, and holds up through practice and games. Softball uses three main options:

• Birdseye Mesh: 100% polyester, 130–150 gsm, 2-way stretch. Soft, smooth feel with small 'eye' holes for airflow. Quick-drying and lightweight for long wear. Best for jerseys when you want comfort and breathability.
• Smooth Interlock: 100% polyester, 160–190 gsm, 2-way stretch. Denser, opaque surface that holds prints crisply and keeps its shape. Better for premium sublimated designs or when you want durability through repeated sliding and washing.
• Spandex / Lycra: 80% polyester, 20% spandex, 200–240 gsm, 4-way stretch. Body-hugging fit with excellent recovery. Best for compression wear, base layers, or shorts when you want maximum movement without restriction.

All three are sublimation-ready, meaning any color is available — not just stock colors. See the full fabric library for details on weight, stretch and best uses.

Decoration Options: Print vs. Embroider vs. Heat Transfer

How you add names, numbers and logos matters for durability and appearance.

Sublimation printing pushes color directly into the fabric using heat and pressure. The design becomes part of the material — it won't crack, peel or fade after washing. Perfect for all-over patterns, gradients, and complex multi-color designs. No extra cost for unlimited colors.

Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh stencil onto the surface. Bright, opaque results on cotton or poly-cotton. Best for simple logos, solid colors, and tees. Works well for hoodies and warm-up gear.

Tackle twill is the classic pro look: stitched-on letters and numbers in a woven material. Durable through years of play and very sharp in person. Takes longer than printing but lasts longer and looks premium.

Heat transfer (vinyl or DTF) applies a pre-printed design using heat. Fast for names and numbers. Good for small runs or when you need quick turnaround.

Most teams combine methods: sublimated team crest on the chest, screen-printed logo on the back, and tackle twill or heat-transfer player numbers on the sleeve.

Sizing: Fit Across Youth and Adult

Softball teams often field players aged 8–18 or mixed adult groups. Size grading matters — a youth XS shouldn't fit like an adult XS scaled down.

CJP APPAREL grades patterns separately for youth (XS–XL) and adult (XS–5XL). Each size is fitted for its age group: youth lengths and sleeve proportions differ from adult cuts. This means a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old on the same team both get a proper fit from their own size range.

Every sport page includes a detailed size chart with chest, length, sleeve and waist measurements. Print it, measure a well-fitting uniform your players already own, and match the chart. If you need a size-set sample (one of each size in your design) before the bulk order, that's available.

Pricing Tiers and Volume Discounts

Prices drop as quantity increases. Here's how softball uniform pricing works:

Quantity	Jersey	Pants	Simple Kit (Jersey + Pants)	Complete Kit (Jersey + Pants + Visor + Socks)
10–24 pieces	$20.50	$23	$39	$53
25–49 pieces	$18.50	$20.50	$35.50	$48
50–99 pieces	$16	$18.50	$32	$43
100–249 pieces	$14	$16	$29	$38.50
250+ pieces	$11.50	$14	$25.50	$33

A small club ordering 15 complete kits pays $53 × 15 = $795. A larger program ordering 100 kits pays $38.50 × 100 = $3,850. That's roughly $19.50 per player saved in bulk.

All prices include worldwide delivery to one address. Import duties or local taxes are not included and depend on your country — confirm these with your quotation.

How to Order: From Design to Delivery

Step 1: Choose your items and colors. Decide whether you want individual pieces or a package, and pick your team colors. Work from the color chart using Pantone references or brand codes. If your color isn't listed, sublimation allows any custom color — just confirm it with the mockup.

Step 2: Prepare artwork or brief. Send a sketch, logo files (EPS, PDF, SVG, AI), or just describe what you want. If you don't have artwork, the design team can help. You'll get a free digital mockup in your colors before anything is made.

Step 3: Request a sample (optional but recommended). A video sample ($50 per piece, filmed in 5–7 days) shows your design on real fabric with close-ups of print, stretch, and stitching. A physical sample costs $100 including express shipping. Both are credited $50 toward your bulk order if you order within 14 days.

Step 4: Approve and order. Once the mockup and sample (if ordered) are approved, you place the bulk order. Production takes about 3–6 weeks depending on quantity and complexity. A pre-production sample video is filmed first — you approve it before the rest of the order begins production.

Step 5: Delivery. Orders are packed by player, size or team and shipped worldwide with tracking. Delivery is included in the price.

Reorders and Managing Multiple Seasons

Coaches often need to reorder as rosters change. Your approved artwork, specifications, and size grading are kept on file. When you have a new roster, send the updated player list and confirm the reorder. Production is faster the second time because setup is already done.

If you need the same uniform but different colors for practice vs. games, or for different age groups (U12, U14, U18), each color variation is a separate style and counts toward its own minimum. This means you can order 15 jerseys in red and 15 in navy as two separate runs, both hitting the 10-piece minimum.

Common Questions About Softball Uniforms

Can we mix sizes in one order? Yes. A 20-piece order can include youth XS, youth M, adult S, adult L and so on. They all count toward the 20-piece tier — you don't need 20 of the same size.

How do you handle player names and numbers? You provide a roster with player name and number. They're applied by your chosen method (sublimation, screen print, heat transfer or tackle twill). Packing is done by player so each one gets their correct uniform.

What if we need them urgently? Let the team know your tournament or season date. Urgent orders are reviewed case by case; sometimes expedited production or shipping can help. Call +1 540-571-7291 or request a quote with your deadline.

Can we order just jerseys this year and add pants later? Yes. You can build your uniform over time. Each item type (jersey, pants, etc.) has its own minimum of 10 pieces, so you can place separate orders.

Why Softball Teams Choose Custom

Off-the-shelf uniforms rarely fit well across a full roster of different ages and body types. Custom manufacturing lets you:

• Grade sizes properly for youth and adult separately.
• Choose fabrics that suit your climate and play style.
• Add logos, names and numbers exactly how you want them.
• Build a cohesive look from jersey through socks and accessories.
• Reorder consistently with the same fit and quality.
• Manage costs through bulk tiering as your program grows.

Whether you're outfitting a travel club, school team or multi-age recreational group, custom softball uniforms start at quantities most teams can actually use.
