How to Customize Your Bicycle Jersey

Competitive bicyclists wear form-fitting jerseys while riding because they cling to the skin and reduce wind-resistance. Although the function of these jerseys is well served, the jerseys vary little in appearance. If you want to stand out among a crowd of bicyclists in a race, then a customized bicycling jersey is a good choice. By choosing custom options, your jersey will make it easy to identify you in a race. You can pay a sports apparel company to make professional customizations or make a few custom options yourself to change the look of your jersey.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a vibrant color that will make you stand out among the crowd of bicyclists.

    • 2

      Color plain white jerseys with clothing dyes. You might try bold neon colors or a tie-dye pattern.

    • 3

      Print your name on the back of the jersey. You can print the letters onto iron-on transfers and apply them with a household iron or pay a T-shirt printing company to print the name for you.

    • 4

      Include a logo on the jersey. This can be a team logo or something that is specific to your personality.

    • 5

      Print a message, quote or slogan on your jersey to make a one-of-a-kind jersey. A fun idea is to print bicycle safety messages that car drivers can read as they pass you.

    • 6

      Adorn the jersey with patches, beads, sequins, fringe or other decorative items to suit your personal style. Make sure these objects don't pose a safety hazard when you ride.
