Custom Team Merchandise for Football Clubs: Tracksuits, Training Kits & Bulk Pricing

Quick answer: Custom team merchandise for football clubs includes tracksuits, training tops, team backpacks, and accessories that support your season. Minimum order is 10 pieces per style (mixed sizes allowed); pricing drops with volume—a tracksuit set costs $43.50/piece for 10–24 units, down to $25.50 at 250+. Production takes 3–6 weeks after artwork approval, and delivery is included worldwide.

Why Football Clubs Order Custom Team Merchandise

Match kits are only part of a club's uniform needs. Teams also need dedicated merchandise for practice, travel, warm-ups, and casual club wear. Unlike match jerseys (which follow league rules), team merchandise offers flexibility: custom colors, logos, player names, and messaging that reinforce club identity and build unity.

Common merchandise orders by football clubs include:

Tracksuits: Jacket and pants for travel, bench wear, and pre-match warm-ups.
Training tops and shorts: Lightweight kit for practice sessions and conditioning.
Team backpacks: Durable bags with boot compartment and embroidered crest for players to carry gear.
Training bibs: Numbered mesh bibs in high-visibility colors for drills and squad identification.
Hoodies and jackets: Warm-up and casual wear for sideline and team events.
Socks: Team-colored athletic socks to complete the uniform look.

Ordering merchandise in bulk at the start of the season ensures consistency, builds team culture, and is far cheaper per piece than buying retail.

Merchandise Design Options

Sublimation (Unlimited Colors, Sharp Detail)

Sublimation printing allows full-color designs across the entire garment—no limits on color count or gradient effects. Ideal for:

Multi-color club crests and logos.
Sleeve and back graphics on tracksuits and training tops.
Team names and player numbers in bold typography.
Complex patterns or photographic elements.

Sublimated designs never crack, peel, or fade through washing and match play. Fabrics: Pro Mesh, Birdseye Mesh, Smooth Interlock, Tricot (for tracksuits), and Polyester Fleece (for hoodies).

Embroidery (Durability, Professional Finish)

Embroidered logos and crests add a premium, professional appearance—ideal for team backpacks, polos, and hoodies. Embroidery works well for:

Single-color or two-color club crests.
Chest logos on training tops and hoodies.
Left-chest positioning on casual wear.
Backpack and bag patches.

Embroidery is slower than printing but delivers durability and a high-end look.

Heat Transfer & Tackle Twill (Names & Numbers)

For personalizing merchandise with player names and numbers:

Heat transfer: Numbers and letters applied with heat; fast and cost-effective.
Tackle twill: Stitched-on numbers and lettering; classic pro appearance, highly durable.

Both methods work on any garment, from training bibs to backpacks.

Fabric & Color Selection

Fabric Choices for Team Merchandise

Pro Mesh: 100% polyester, 140–160 gsm, 2-way stretch. Lightweight and quick-drying; excellent for training tops, bibs, and practice wear.
Tricot: 100% polyester, 150–180 gsm. Wind-resistant, slight sheen; ideal for tracksuits and warm-up jackets.
Polyester Fleece: 280–340 gsm, brushed soft inside. Warm, embroidery-friendly; perfect for hoodies and sideline jackets.
Smooth Interlock: 100% polyester, 160–190 gsm, 2-way stretch. Premium, crisp surface; great for all-over sublimation on training gear.

Why Work with a Custom Manufacturer vs. Resellers

Ordering directly from CJP APPAREL (a manufacturer) rather than a print shop or dropshipper gives your club:

Control over fabric quality: We choose performance fabrics proven in match conditions—no cheap knockoffs.
Artwork management: Our team prepares your design for production, flags potential issues (small text, poor color contrast), and ensures print/embroidery quality.
Flexible decoration: Sublimation, embroidery, heat transfer, or screen printing—we advise which method delivers the best result for your design and budget.
True MOQ of 10 pieces: Most resellers require 50+ minimums. We start at 10 per style, mixed sizes.
Packing flexibility: We can sort and label merchandise by player, size, or role—not just dump it in a box.
Reorder capability: Keep your approved artwork and specifications on file. Next season, order is faster and cheaper.
Delivery included: No surprise shipping fees. All prices include worldwide delivery to one address.

Frequently asked questions

01Can we mix product types (tracksuits, backpacks, bibs) in one order to hit a lower price tier?+

No. Pricing tiers apply to quantity of the same product and style. A 30-piece tracksuit order and a 40-piece training bib order are priced separately in their respective tiers. However, you can mix sizes and colors of the same product within one tier (e.g., 50 navy tracksuits in youth and adult sizes all count toward the 50–99 tier).

02What is the absolute fastest turnaround for a team merchandise order?+

Production is typically 3–6 weeks after artwork approval and payment. For urgent deadlines, email enquiry@cjpapparel.com with your date and order details; we review feasibility and recommend a realistic plan (e.g., smaller quantities or simpler decoration methods may ship faster). Standard delivery is included worldwide; express shipping can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

03If we're unsure about sizes, how do we get it right?+

Every product page on our website includes a detailed size chart (chest, length, sleeve, inseam). For youth and adult mixed squads, a typical balanced order is: youth XS–M (30% of quantity), adult S–L (60%), and adult XL–2XL (10%). If you're uncertain, request a size-set sample before the bulk order; we can make 1–2 pieces in each size so your team tries them on first.

04Can we add player names and numbers to team merchandise like backpacks and hoodies?+

Yes. Heat transfer and tackle twill (stitched-on lettering) both work on any garment—backpacks, hoodies, training tops, and more. Heat transfer is faster and cheaper; tackle twill is more durable and looks more professional. We include these options in your quote.

05Do you keep our approved artwork on file for next season's reorder?+

Yes. After your first order, we store your approved artwork, color specs, and personalization details. Next season, simply email us with your new roster and quantities; we quote and produce the reorder faster and at no design revision cost.
