How to design a custom cycling jersey for your club.

You don't need design experience. Here's the practical process — what to prepare, what decisions to make, and how our free design service handles the rest.

What you'll need to get started

Essential
  • Club badge or logo (any file format)
  • Club colours (name, hex, Pantone, or reference images)
  • Approximate quantity and size range
Helpful (but not required)
  • +Sponsor logos
  • +Examples of jerseys you like (photos)
  • +Notes on the style direction
  • +Previous kit (to reference or improve)

The design process in 5 steps

1

Gather your design assets

Collect your club badge (any format — even a photo of your club sign will do), your club colours, and any sponsor logos. Don't worry about the quality of files at this stage — we'll work with what you have and request higher-resolution versions if needed.

2

Submit a quote request

Fill in our quote form with your assets and any design notes. If you have reference images of jerseys you like, include a link or description. If you have no idea what you want — that's fine too. Tell us your colours and badge and let us propose something.

3

Review the design mockup

Within 3–5 working days we'll send you a full-colour digital mockup — a 3D rendering of the jersey showing front, back, and sleeves in your design. This is free. Show it to your committee and get feedback.

4

Request revisions

Want to move a logo, change the colour of a panel, try a different background pattern? Request as many revisions as you need — all free, all included. Most clubs reach a final design within 2–3 revision rounds.

5

Approve and order

Once the committee approves the design, we produce a final artwork proof for your sign-off and begin production. Delivery in 3–4 weeks from approval. Payment is processed at this stage.

Design tips for cycling jerseys

How many colours should I use?
There's no colour limit with sublimation printing. That said, the best cycling jerseys typically use 2–4 main colours that match the club badge — it's easier to create a coherent design. More colours can work, but require a stronger design concept to prevent the jersey looking cluttered.
Should the jersey match our club badge exactly?
Generally yes for the main colours — you want riders to be recognisable as your club. The design itself (the panel layout, patterns, background) is where you differentiate and make it interesting. Starting from your badge colours as the anchor is almost always the right approach.
What's the difference between a "classic" and "racing" cut?
A classic cut is slightly looser through the body and shorter in length — more comfortable for casual club riders and those who spend shorter time on the bike. A racing cut is tighter, more aerodynamic, and longer in the back to stay tucked in when riding in an aggressive position. We offer both; most club orders are classic or "sport" cut.
Do I need a designer?
No. Our in-house design team handles all the artwork. You provide the inputs (badge, colours, ideas) and we produce the designs. You approve and request changes. You don't need any design skills or software.
