      Purchase the proper number of hockey jerseys in the color that was decided on.

      Attach the team name, player name and player number in the correct places on each number. Use iron-on jersey numbers, which are available from many craft stores, online retailers and T-shirt printing shops. Follow the instructions that come with the numbers, as they may be different with available type.

      Draw any graphics for the hockey jerseys on the computer, using an illustration program.

      Print the graphics onto iron-on transfer material. This can be purchased for use in any standard home computer for both dark and light colored shirts. For a more durable option, send your design to a company who will provide you with iron-on transfer versions of your logo.
