How to Select Uniforms for a Pop Warner Team

The identity of any football team comes as much from their uniforms and team name as it does from their play on the field. Uniforms give children a sense of cohesion and help build team spirit and unity. As a coach, you need to select uniforms for your Pop Warner team that stand out from other teams in your league.

Instructions

  1. Pick Your Pop Warner Football Team's Uniforms

    • 1

      Research the various fabrics used for football uniforms before making a choice. Fabrics like mesh, polyester and knit cottons have dozens of varieties with a wide range of prices per uniform. You can consult Custom Jersey to review available fabrics before heading to your local custom print shop.

      Gather information on the uniform colors and font types before selecting your team's uniforms. You should avoid duplication of color schemes already in use so that your team can be easily identified by referees and spectators.

    • 3

      Borrow your team's name and uniform color from a professional football club. Many Pop Warner leagues work with the National Football League and the Arena Football League teams in their area. Young players may be motivated to play harder if they share a team name with an area team.

      Encourage your team and parents to help with uniform selection. You can pass out a list of available color schemes and materials to each player. If there is an overwhelming choice for a certain uniform type, it makes your decision much easier.

    • 5

      Make an appointment with your local custom printer to go over available jersey options. An experienced printer can provide quotes based on your number of players, their uniform sizes and the desired team colors. Discuss team discounts if you are purchasing for a larger team or for an entire league.

      Assign jersey numbers based on player preference. Hand out information sheets where the player can fill in their top three numbers and decide player numbers on a first come, first serve basis.
