How to Order Custom Team Uniforms — Step by Step | Bright Designs

Ordering custom team uniforms doesn't have to be complicated. At Bright Designs & Business Solutions in St. Joseph, MO, we've helped hundreds of teams — from youth rec leagues to semipro organizations — get their gear right the first time. Here's exactly how the process works when you work with us.

Step 1: Know What You Need

Before you reach out, it helps to have a general idea of:

• What items you need (jerseys, pants, warm-ups, hats, etc.)

• How many players (and any sizes)

• Your team colors and whether you have an existing logo

• When you need the order (your event or season start date)

You don't need to have all the answers — we'll help you fill in the gaps. But having this information ready speeds up the quoting process.

Step 2: Contact Bright Designs for a Quote

Call us at (816) 83-SHIRT or stop by 2308 North Belt Hwy, St. Joseph, MO to discuss your uniform needs. During this step, we'll talk through your garment options, decoration method (DTF printing, screen printing, or embroidery), and budget. We'll give you a quote based on your specific items and quantity.

Step 3: Submit Your Artwork

Once you've approved the quote, the next step is artwork. If you have a logo, send us the highest-quality file you have — vector files (AI, EPS) or high-resolution PNGs work best. If you need a logo created or your existing logo cleaned up for print, our team handles that in-house.

Step 4: Approve Your Proof

Before any garment is decorated, we send you a digital proof showing exactly how your uniform will look — including placement, colors, player numbers, and names (if applicable). We don't put anything into production until you've reviewed and approved the proof. This protects both of us and ensures your team gets exactly what they expect.

Step 5: Production Begins

Once your proof is approved, we move into production. All decoration — DTF printing, screen printing, embroidery — happens in-house at our St. Joseph facility. No outsourcing. No delays from a third-party shop. Production time varies by order size and decoration method, but most team orders are completed in 7–14 business days.

Step 6: Pick Up or Receive Your Order

Local customers can pick up in-store at 2308 North Belt Hwy. We also ship orders anywhere in the country. When your gear arrives, we're available to address any questions — because the relationship doesn't end at delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order for team uniforms?

No. Bright Designs has no minimum order. We've produced single-player replacement uniforms and 200-piece full-team packages with equal care.

How early should I place my order before the season?

We recommend ordering 4–6 weeks before your season start date to allow time for artwork approval, production, and any adjustments. Larger or more complex orders may need more lead time.

Can I add player numbers and names to each uniform?

Yes. Player-specific numbering and name printing/embroidery are available on jerseys, warm-ups, and other team garments. Provide a roster with name and number assignments when you submit your order details.

What sports do you make uniforms for?

All of them. Football, baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, track, esports, cheer, dance, and more. If your team wears it, Bright Designs can produce it.
