How to Create Your Own Middle School Basketball Jersey

New jerseys can boost your middle school basketball team's confidence on and off the court. Be as creative as you like in your design provided that you comply with your school's dress code rules. Meet with school officials to ensure that your proposed design is acceptable before you go ahead with the creation process. After you've received approval, you can send your design to a jersey production company, but to save time and money you could instead hand-craft your jerseys in what could be an entertaining team-bonding activity.

Instructions

    • 1

      Gather your teammates and coach together to discuss your ideal jersey design. Consider the style of jersey you want to use, as well as the placement of words and images. Sketch this design on paper with a pencil.

    • 2

      Take the proposed jersey design to your middle school's administration for approval. Make any necessary alterations to the design based on the feedback that you receive.

    • 3

      Make a list of supplies and designate each member of the team to contribute an item. Require each team member to provide his own blank jersey as well as vinyl lettering or iron-on transfer sheets, depending on the final design that you use.

    • 4

      Set up tables with supplies in the meeting location before the team gathers so that everyone has adequate work space and materials.

    • 5

      Lay the shirts flat on the work spaces and arrange any letters, numbers or images you plan to include in your design.

    • 6

      Iron on the letters, numbers and images with a hot iron, one jersey at a time, until all have been completed.
