How to Personalize a Junior Hockey Team Jersey

Owning a Canadian Hockey League jersey is one thing, but customizing it is a whole different story. Turning your favorite team's jersey into your own, personally modified sweater is a worthwhile endeavor for any hockey fanatic. Instead of merely cheering for a particular Canadian Hockey League team, you can become a part of the team--at least according to you.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place your jersey flat on a table and slide a hand in between the neck opening. Position the hand so you can securely grab the jersey at all times.

    • 2

      Measure the width of the jersey's backside with the tape measure. Make note of how much room you have for each letter of your last name as well as each number of your favorite number.

    • 3

      Spell out, one letter at a time, your last name across the back shoulders of the jersey. Say your last name is "Smith." Place down the letter "I" first, at the center of the jersey's back shoulders. Do the same for "M" and "S," working left of the "I." Place the "T" and "H" to the right of the "i," keeping in mind appropriate spacing.

    • 4

      Position, one numeral at a time, your favorite number (let's say 10) across the back of the jersey. The numerals should be at least 2 to 3 inches below the name. Place the "1" and "0" equally apart from each other.

    • 5

      Thread the needle by inserting thread through the eye of the needle. With the thread and needle in one hand, bring your body closer to the jersey. Grab the "S" with your other hand and hold it in its correct place for stability.

    • 6

      Begin sewing the thread through the "S" with the needle. Use a zig-zag stitch while outlining the entire letter from top to bottom and side to side. Repeat this process for each letter in the name and each numeral.
