How to Customize Your Own Youth College Football Jerseys

When you buy your child a college football jersey, the child may want to customize it with their own name and number or the name and number of their favorite player. It is both feasible and affordable to customize the jersey yourself, but it is also effective to take the jersey to a sporting goods store to have them perform the task for you. The important thing when taking it to a professional is to know exactly what you want.

      Choose what colors you want the jersey to be. A jersey generally has two colors, a base color and a secondary color. The secondary color is often the color of the stripes or design of the jersey, while the base color is the background and main color of the jersey.

      Add text to the jersey if the child wants to. The name is placed on the back of the jersey above the numbers. Place either a last name, a first name, a nickname or any other text that you want on the back of the jersey.

      Determine what number the child wants on the jersey. The number appears on the front of the jersey on the chest and on the back of the jersey down the spine. The numbers sometimes appear on the arms and/or shoulders of the jersey as well. This sometimes costs more, so ensure you know what the child wants on his jersey.

      Ask for a sample of what the jersey may look like. Make sure that it looks exactly as you would expect and exactly as the child wants. Also be sure to ask the store how long it will take to customize the jersey.
