Custom football kits: the complete guide (2026)
What a custom kit includes, what it really costs, how to design it step by step and how soon you'll have it.
A custom football kit is much more than a shirt with a name on it. It's your team's identity on the pitch: colours, crest, sponsors and each player's number. In this guide we tell you everything you need to know before ordering yours in 2026.
What a custom kit includes
The usual set is shirt, shorts and socks, although every club puts together its own package. At EZ Sports Lab the shirt is made by sublimation, a technique in which the design becomes part of the fabric: it doesn't crack or peel like traditional printing, and it allows gradients and patterns that are impossible with vinyl.
- Club crest in full colour, included at no cost.
- Sponsor logos, on all four sides (front, back, left sleeve and right sleeve), also included, with no per-logo limit on sublimated garments (on cotton basics, printed in DTF, from €4 per logo).
- Name and number for each player, also included at no cost on sublimated garments (on cotton basics, printed in DTF, €6.95 per item).
- Extras: shorts (matching sublimated or basic) and plain socks in the colour you choose.
How much a custom kit costs
The price depends on the number of garments and the extras. These are the reference prices:
- Custom sublimated shirt: €20.95.
- With the shirt, the rest is at pack price, applied automatically: matching sublimated shorts, €3.55; basic shorts (plain, with crest and number in DTF), €1.00; socks, €2.00.
- On their own, without a shirt: sublimated shorts, €8.95; basic shorts, €5.95; socks, €2.95.
- Packs: Pack Essencial (shirt + basic shorts + socks), €23.95; Pack Total (shirt + sublimated shorts + socks), €26.50.
You see it all on the website before paying.
You choose shipping at checkout. To mainland Spain it's €7.95, free from €99.95 (five shirts already get you there). To the Balearic Islands, €11.95 (free from €600); to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, €30; to the European Union, €9.95 (free from €199.95). And if you're nearby, you can pick it up free at our workshop in Cuarte de Huerva (Zaragoza). The big advantage of made-to-order production is that there's no minimum order: you order exactly what you need. We break it down in detail in how much it costs to kit out a whole team.
Sublimated vs basic
Sublimated shorts match the shirt; basic shorts (white or black) are cheaper and carry the crest and number in DTF. For tight budgets, combining a sublimated shirt with basic shorts is the most balanced option.
How to design yours, step by step
1. Choose where to start
You have four routes. A model from the catalogue, which you customise. One of the Pro Clubs: over 120 of our own designs for the 26/27 season, each as a home, away and third kit. “Design your shirt”, with over 200 designs to paint in your colours, or from scratch, or with AI. Or a bespoke design with us, over WhatsApp. A tip: choose the colour with the crest in mind, not the other way round. If your crest is navy blue, a navy blue shirt will swallow it. Think about the number's contrast too: numbers have to be readable from the touchline.
2. Get your crest ready
It's the step that ruins the most results and the easiest one to fix. Upload a PNG with a transparent background, not a JPG (a JPG has a white box that will be printed). And the higher the resolution, the better: a crest taken from WhatsApp will come out pixelated. We go into it in how to design your club crest.
3. Place the sponsors
Choose the area — Chest, Back, Left sleeve or Right sleeve —, upload the logo (several at once if you like; there's no limit) and drag it into place; also from one area to another, without uploading the file again. When you tap it, its frame appears: you resize it from the corners and rotate it with the circle. On the sleeve there's a dotted line marking the recommended area: outside it, it prints just the same, but the sleeve is sewn into a tube, so check it in 3D. Don't push them right up to the edge or over a seam. A layout that works: main sponsor on the chest or upper back, secondary ones on the sleeves and below the number.
4. Add names and numbers
Enter the player list with name, number and size. Send the families the size guide: in youth football the difference between a 10 and a 12 is real.
You don't need to type them one by one. With “Paste a list” the one from the WhatsApp group works as it is, and with “Number them 1, 2, 3…” you number them in order. If the team is large, there's the spreadsheet. You download the template, generated with that product's sizes, fill it in and upload it, with a preview before anything is applied. You can also paste the data from any spreadsheet. And the name and number no longer go in a fixed place: you move them with the arrows or by dragging them with your finger, make them bigger or smaller and centre them with a button, each one separately. Their own colour for the name, the number, the chest number (optional) and the shorts number, as well as the common one, and an outline if you want it. And the font: the EZ one, 14 more or your club's, by uploading the file (.ttf, .otf or .woff). All of this is folded away and you don't have to touch it.
5. Review and approve
Before anything is made, you approve the design in 3D. You see it live while you design and, when you add it to the cart, it appears full screen with the total: “I confirm the design · Add to basket” or “Back to editing”. Check that the names are spelled correctly, that no numbers are repeated and that the crest and logos are readable on the garment, not just laid flat. What you approve there is exactly what gets made — and that's why there's no right of withdrawal on a customised product: you've seen it and said yes.
Delivery times
Because it's made to order, allow 10 to 15 working days of production with Standard and 5-10 with Express, counted from order confirmation — you approve the design before paying —, plus transport: 24-48 h in mainland Spain and 3-5 working days to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, because of customs. If you pick up at our workshop, the production time is the same and we'll email you when it's ready. If your season starts in September, order in July to be on the safe side: August and September are when most orders come in.
What if you want a design that isn't in the catalogue?
Then don't look for it in the catalogue: make it. In Design your shirt you start from your colours (“In my team's colours”), from one of the over 200 designs (“See the designs”) or from a Pro one. With “Design with AI” you upload up to four reference photos or describe it in words: you get 5 free generations when you create your account, and they go back to 5 after every order. And if you already have the design made on our template, upload it in “Upload my design on the template” and we'll fit it for free. For large orders or special club terms, that's when you should message us on WhatsApp.
One last tip: order a sample
As there's no minimum order, you can order a single shirt, feel it and show it to the board before committing the season's budget. Open the customiser and upload your crest. It's free and you don't need to register to design by hand. You only need an account to generate with AI — it comes with 5 free generations — and for your saved designs to follow you from one device to another: without an account they only live in that browser.
