We love it when teams get excited about the creative side of uniform designs, but we also understand that design platforms can be confusing. This guide aims to demystify the process, making it less overwhelming for coaches who want to learn how to customize Nike jerseys.
How to Create Custom Nike Jerseys: A Step-by-Step Guide
Nike makes custom ordering easy with the Nike jersey designer on the Nike Team site. Open a web browser and follow these steps to design your own jerseys or other apparel.
Step 1: Become a Nike Team Member
If you are not already a Nike Member, we highly recommend you become one. You will need to log in with your email address to order custom designs. Plus, you can use members-only features and gain access to the Nike Community with exclusive products, promotions, and information.
Step 2: Get Started on Selections
When you are ready to start, you’ll choose between stock or custom uniforms. Regardless of your choice, you will proceed with the Nike jersey creator to explore the selection and your design ideas.
Later in the process, you can work with an authorized Nike Team Dealer (like gearUP) to finalize and create highly customized designs unique to your team.
Step 3: Filter and Select Jersey Options
As you explore your apparel options, start by selecting the filters that best align with your program and your sport. Here, you can make selections such as:
- Sport
- Customization type
- Color of base garment
This will help narrow things down, so you are not overwhelmed with choices and options. Once you have finally found the piece your team wants, go ahead and select it so the real fun can begin.
Pro Tip: Selecting “Digital” under the customization filter gives you access to Nike’s sublimated jersey collection and extra customization options.
Step 4: Personalize Your Jersey
Nike offers nearly endless design options. With the Nike uniform builder, you can change something as major as the color of your jersey or something as minuscule as the color and style of the Swoosh on the chest.
As you explore, take some time to enjoy the almost countless options and choices. If you are not sure what you want, a gearUP representative can guide you through the process. Contact us for help.
Step 5: Save Your Custom Design
Ensure that your design is saved and easily accessible later. As a Nike member, you have the ability to save and revisit designs later through their “locker” feature. Simply click “Save to locker” when a design is ready. You can also share Nike custom jersey designs with apparel dealers or other members of your team.
Step 6: Order Your Custom Jerseys
Last step! Once you have designed your jerseys, it is time to order them. The easiest way to do this is to connect with an authorized Nike Team Dealer to see your designs come to life. Click “share” on your design to send an email or copy the direct link.
