Soccer Uniform Packages & Pricing: Budget-Friendly Bundles
Rather than picking items individually, most teams buy packages. Here's what's included and how price drops with quantity:
| Package | 10–24 pcs | 25–49 pcs | 50–99 pcs | 100–249 pcs | 250+ pcs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match Kit (Jersey + shorts + socks) | $33.00 | $30.00 | $25.00 | $21.50 | $18.00 |
| Home & Away Kit (2 jerseys + 2 shorts + socks) | $58.50 | $51.50 | $45.00 | $39.00 | $31.50 |
| Full Club Package (Kit + training top + tracksuit + backpack) | $132.50 | $118.00 | $103.50 | $89.00 | $75.00 |
Prices are estimates per set and include worldwide delivery to one address. Final quote sent by email after you provide roster size, colors and artwork.
Example: A 12-player squad ordering Match Kits at tier 1 (10–24 pcs) pays $33 × 12 = $396 total. Upgrade to Home & Away Kits? $58.50 × 12 = $702. Add a Full Club Package instead? $132.50 × 12 = $1,590—complete uniforms, training wear, travel jackets and team backpacks for the whole squad in one order.
Why These Packages Save Time & Money
- Match Kit: Game-ready in one set. Jersey, shorts and socks are the absolute minimum for match day.
- Home & Away: Two jersey and short combos (e.g., light and dark) plus socks, ideal for conference play or neutral-ground tournaments.
- Full Club Package: Everything—match uniform, training top for practice, tracksuit for travel and sideline, team backpack for kit transport. One order covers the whole season and playoff run.
Customization Options: Fabric, Sublimation & Embroidery
All uniforms are fully customizable:
- Sublimation: Your design (crest, sponsors, names and numbers) is printed directly into the fabric. Unlimited colors, never cracks, peels or fades. Best for complex, multi-color designs.
- Tackle twill: Stitched-on numbers and lettering for a classic pro look. Durable through intense play and many washes.
- Embroidery: Crests and logos on caps, jackets and training wear. Premium, stitched finish.
- Mix & match: Combine methods—sublimated jersey with embroidered crest on the chest, tackl twill numbers.

Design Ideas Inspired by MLS Cup Energy
Looking for inspiration? Consider:
- Bold color blocking: Use contrasting solid panels for high-impact broadcast visibility. Check our full color chart—we match any Pantone or brand color with sublimation.
- Minimalist crests: Keep logos bold and readable at small sizes. We'll show you a free digital mockup before production so you can see exactly how your design prints.
- Fan shirts: Running a local watch party? Order custom fan shirts in your team's colors with simple graphics—your club name, supporters' group logo, or player numbers. MOQ 10 per style, mixed sizes, $13–$14 per piece depending on quantity.
- Matching warm-ups: A tracksuit or hoodie in your primary color unifies the squad look on sideline and travel.
