How to Order Custom Team Jerseys: A Step-by-Step Guide for Coaches & Team Managers

If you're a coach, team manager, or league administrator, ordering custom jerseys can feel like it should be simple — pick colors, add a logo, done. In practice, most custom apparel companies bury you in minimum order requirements, purchase orders, and inventory commitments before you ever see a design. At Bench Clearers Fulfillment (BCF), we built our process specifically to remove those barriers for teams of every size.

Step 1: Share Your Team Details

Start with the basics: team name, colors, logo files (or a description if you don't have one yet — our in-house design team can build it from scratch), and roster size. This applies whether you're outfitting a hockey team, a soccer club, or any other sport we cover.

Step 2: In-House Design Turnaround

Unlike manufacturers who only print pre-set templates, BCF has top-of-industry in-house designers who build your full collection — jerseys, hoodies, shorts, pants, blankets, and more — as a cohesive team or brand identity, not a one-off product. You'll see proofs before anything goes into production.

Step 3: Made-to-Order Production, No Purchase Orders

Once you approve the design, production starts immediately. Because BCF manufactures made-to-order, there's no minimum inventory buy-in and no purchase order paperwork — you're not pre-purchasing stock you hope people will buy. Custom jerseys typically move from approved design to finished product in 1-2 weeks.

Step 4: Delivery

Orders ship directly to your team or to individual players, depending on how your program is set up. For a full breakdown of how orders flow from click to delivery, see our How Bench Clearers Fulfillment Works page.

  • No inventory risk — nothing is produced until it's ordered
  • No purchase orders or upfront capital required
