How to Build Your Own Baseball Uniform

Baseball is one of America's most popular sports, and the uniforms have always been a big part of the game---from jerseys to hats to stockings. Designing your own baseball uniform can be accomplished in a number of ways, such as finding an online company or visiting a local sporting goods store. Here, learn the step-by-step process of designing an entire uniform online, as the process is typically the same for most brands. Online stores such as UESports.com, UniformExpress.com and CustomJersey.com, as well as retailers such as Dick's Sporting Goods, all afford you the opportunity to customize your baseball uniform.

      Start with the jersey. Choose a jersey style, such as a V-neck pullover or button-down with a rounded collar. Many companies also give you the option of choosing a solid-colored jersey or one with pinstripes. Either way, pick the colors, fonts and other designs, such as stripes on the sleeves or along the buttons.

      Pick your pants. This is perhaps the easiest step, as most online brands will suggest matching pants once your jersey is built. But it's usually only a suggestion (often plain white with a colored belt), and you are free to design the pants however you wish. Repeat the steps used to make your jersey, by selecting colors and stripes for the pants.

      Grab a hat. Baseball caps are usually the first item used to identify a team, and the majority of online uniform builders offer you the option to either customize your own or taking one from their selection. Building a hat is simple, as you merely pick colors, fonts for lettering, and logos. Some companies even allow you to build your own logo, then place it on the hat.

      Design accessories. While hardly a necessity, most baseball uniform companies that allow you to build uniforms online also offer related accessories, such as gym bags, jackets, belts, socks and long-sleeved undershirts. Once you've determined which accessories you want, simply add your logos and nickname to the item and get ready to check out.

      Add to cart. After your order is complete, click the "Add to Cart" link, choosing the quantity and sizes of your newly designed baseball uniform. You will then be prompted to enter your credit card information and a mailing address, and often, choose whether you want express or regular shipping. Generally, baseball uniforms designed online can take anywhere from four to eight weeks to arrive.
