First impressions count, and that opinion is as true on the basketball court as it is in everyday life. When you walk into a stadium, the first thing your opponents and fans notice is your basketball jersey.
The appeal, quality, and color of your jersey can say a lot about how important your team and your basketball are to you. Team uniforms can also greatly affect how a team plays. Comfortable, high-quality, and stylish jerseys can encourage your team to play with more confidence than ever.
ApparelnBags custom uniforms combine the highest quality fabrics with comfortable trim, scoop necklines, and professional screen printing. This creates a uniform that helps your players perform at their best.
This comprehensive guide is designed to help you choose the best custom basketball uniforms for your team.
What are the General Rules for Youth Basketball Uniforms?
Youth basketball jersey rules vary by the league, so it’s important to know the rules of your league before choosing a custom uniform. However, most leagues recommend numbering the front and back of jerseys. The color of the number should contrast with the color of the jersey for easy identification by players, referees, and fans. In most leagues, basketball jerseys must be tucked into players’ shorts at all times.
How Do I Purchase My Team’s Basketball Equipment?
Choosing the perfect basketball uniform for your team can seem stressful at first. It’s important to consider the age and ability of the players, as well as how much you’re willing to spend on each jersey.
What Printing Process Do You Use?
At ApparelnBags, we don’t use a single printing process on every jersey. Unlike games, we can customize your team’s uniform in several ways. Choose from embroidery, screen printing, sublimation, or twill, and we’ll create a custom uniform for you.
What Types of Basketball Uniforms are there?
ApparelnBags keeps up with the latest trends in the sports industry, so when you shop with us, you’re sure to find the jersey your team is looking for. We offer standard or reversible tops in sleeveless or preppy cut styles.
What is the Difference Between Men’s and Women’s Basketball Uniforms?
Men’s basketball jerseys and women’s basketball jerseys are very similar in style. However, there are slight differences in design to allow the uniform to fit men and women differently. Women’s tank tops usually have wider shoulder straps and smaller cuffs. Youth basketball uniforms are simpler than men’s and women’s jerseys.

Why Sublimation Uniforms are Different?
Lots of Customization Options!
When it comes to designing sublimated jerseys, there are no limits!
- The name, number, and logo can be incorporated into the costume.
- Sublimated clothing can include a variety of different colors, rather than having to stick to standard solid-color clothing
- Details like checkerboard patterns, stripes, or lightning bolts can be easily incorporated into sublimated uniforms
- Sport-specific details like piping and/or stripes on sublimated basketball uniforms add more attention to detail.
You can stand out your team designs, sublimated jerseys are 100% the way to go!
Incredible Durability
With sublimated jerseys, the risk of trim fading, peeling, or tearing is long overdue! It is not necessary to put a layer of vinyl on the garment to create the design. In other words, the prints and details you choose are the uniforms!
Wear your sublimated jersey through the glove and it will look like new every time.
Profitable
There’s nothing more frustrating than having to spend extra money replacing your team’s jerseys and basketball jerseys in the middle of a season because of faded details and cracked logos.
The heat press option may seem attractive at first, but some steps and precautions need to ensure that it stays that way and everyone can take care of your basketball jerseys this way in your program.
If your plan relies on reusing the same uniforms year after year, heat-pressed jerseys probably won’t last as long as sublimated jerseys.
Sublimation shirts completely eliminate this risk. There is no vinyl layer on the garment; it will not crack, peel or discolor. Its design and details won’t fray or deteriorate!
Also, due to the technique used to incorporate the design into the garment, each sublimated jersey costs the same regardless of the quantity requested. You can order 10 or 100 shirts and since there is no need to purchase pre-printed materials, the cost per shirt remains the same!
Tons of Sublimation Tee Options
There are many options for sublimation printing!
- Do you need a long sleeve, short sleeve, or sleeveless sweatshirt?
- How many buttons do you want on the front? Or no buttons?
- Do you want your design to also blend into your team’s compression bottoms or shorts?
- Want a sublimation to expand your fan gear options?
All of this is possible with sublimation. Essentially, if a dress style exists, it can be a masterpiece of sublimation!
The Only “Con” with a Sublimated Shirt
The process of sublimation is only fully optimized on materials that are 100% polyester. Garments made from other fabrics, such as cotton, the colors and designs will not be permanently incorporated into the garment.
We’re calling it a “scam” because some people like, and even prefer, match-day jerseys with a cotton feel. However, the advantages of polyester clothing are well-known in the sports world:
- Polyester is very light
- The fabric is breathable
- It naturally absorbs moisture
- Being “forced” to use polyester for your sublimation jersey is likely to eat a good meal instead of fast food – and we all know which is ultimately the better choice
Boost Team Morale
All high-quality basketball team uniforms are a morale booster and they are also a symbol of team fellowship and should be worn with pride. However, when a team uniform is stunning, it can take morale to a whole new level!
Sublimation t-shirts do just that – why just put your logo on a standard garment when you can customize the entire garment? Everything from scratch will showcase your show and what it stands for. Imagine how much fun it will be for your team to storm the field in this uniform!
