How to Design Your Own Lacrosse Jersey

Although you might think winning is everything, looks still matter. An attractive team jersey will help a lacrosse team play more confidently, fans will rally around a team with an identifiable logo and opposing squads will take a team more seriously if the team looks sharp. For all of these reasons, designing your own team's lacrosse jersey is a good investment. Not only is a custom design useful, it is easy to do.

      Choose your jersey type. There are a number of acceptable types of lacrosse jerseys. The most traditional form is the basic t-shirt shape, however, you can also design team 'pinnies,' which are sleeveless jerseys made of light fabric. Traditional jerseys are more common for games and pinnies more common for practices. Decide which kind you want -- or choose both.

      Choose a logo or mascot. The logo can be as simple as your team's name, club or school affiliation. The logo can also be a mascot, including animals (real or imaginary), characters, such as pirates, or a symbol, like a sun or a star. If you need suggestions, look at your competitors' jerseys and poll your teammates' ideas. Draw your idea down on paper.

      Choose the colors. If your team does not already have team colors, decide what color combinations would be the most distinctive and appropriate. This decision could involve looking at rival teams' color schemes and choosing something bold and different. Popular color schemes are blue/red/white, black/yellow/white, green/white, and purple/black. Draw and color in the jersey design.
