Hockey jerseys are built for contact, speed, and cold rinks. Whether you play ice hockey, roller hockey, or ball hockey, a custom jersey that fits well and looks sharp makes a real difference. Here is what to consider when ordering.

Hockey Jersey Materials
- Mesh polyester (air-knit): The classic hockey jersey fabric — durable, breathable, and flexible.
- Double-mesh: Heavier and more tear-resistant, ideal for ice hockey.
- Moisture-wicking: Keeps players dry during intense shifts.
Fit: On-Ice vs. Casual
On-ice hockey jerseys are worn over shoulder pads, so they are cut looser with wider sleeves. If your team plays without pads (street or ball hockey), a more athletic fit works better. Tell us which style you need and we will adjust the pattern accordingly.
Design: Colors, Numbers, and Crests
- Team colors: Use bold, contrasting colors so the jersey is easy to read on the ice.
- Numbers: Large numbers on the back and smaller on the sleeves or shoulders.
- Crests and logos: Front crest, shoulder patches, and sleeve stripes are all possible.
- Player names: Add names across the back.
Sublimation vs. Tackle Twill
Two main methods are used for hockey jerseys:
- Custom sublimation hockey jerseys: the full design is printed into the fabric. It is lightweight, never peels, and is great for all-over patterns. Best for most teams.
- Tackle twill: layered fabric letters and numbers are sewn on. It looks traditional and professional but costs more and takes longer.
Many teams combine both: sublimation for the main design, tackle twill for a special captain or commemorative jersey.
Ordering Tips
- Order a sample first to check fabric weight and fit over pads.
- Provide a size range covering youth to adult players.
- Confirm the deadline before your season starts.
- Ask about goaltender jerseys if your team needs them.
