Why Design Custom Basketball Jerseys?

You may be asking yourself if custom jerseys are really worth it. Here are the three top reasons to skip the generic jersey and design one yourself. 

Personalised

When you design custom team jerseys, you are able to totally personalise every aspect. You can choose the main color of the fabric as well as the colors of the trim and letters. At Coast 2 Coast Sports you can even select the font type and size.

Customising your name jerseys means you get to decide where every word, number, and symbol appears. You have complete control over the layout of both the front and back.

At Coast 2 Coast, you can even upload your own original artwork to appear on the jersey. 

Recognition

Your name jersey is the primary part of your basketball team uniform. It's where all the information about the player is displayed. When watching a fast-paced game, fans look primarily at the jersey rather than the faces of the players.

Therefore, having a bold, unique design for your jersey is a must.

With custom basketball jerseys your team will receive instant recognition both on and off the court. Fans and basketball enthusiasts will love to wear your colors and style.

Having customised basketball jerseys also creates a polished appearance. Refs and other teams are more likely to take you seriously. Whether you are on the court or on the road to games and championships, looking legitimate will help your players' confidence.

Team Spirit

Michael Jordan once said: "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." One of the best ways to facilitate teamwork is to build team spirit. 

Team spirit is a combination of morale and camaraderie amongst your players. It makes them feel like they belong to something worthwhile. And nothing helps build this sense of belonging better than having customised jerseys. 

When your players are able to design every element of their team jersey, they'll feel proud of their design and proud of their team. Having a custom jersey makes the whole group feel legitimate. 

This team pride may even help them to perform better on the court. As a unified team, your players will trust each other more, work together fluidly, and follow directions quicker.
