Quick answer: To order custom lacrosse uniforms, choose your styles (racerback pinnies, shooter shirts, cut-off jerseys, reversible practice pinnies and shorts), send your logo and colors, approve a digital mockup and a physical sample, then confirm sizes and numbers. At Glory Ground in Shenzhen, the MOQ is 10 pcs per design, samples take 5 days and bulk production about 2 weeks.
Lacrosse programs need more garment types than most team sports. A typical club or high school program orders game jerseys, practice pinnies, shooter shirts for warm-ups and matching shorts, often in separate cuts for the men’s and women’s teams. This guide walks you through each garment, the fabric and fit choices that matter on the field, and the exact steps to place an order with a factory, so your first order arrives right.
1. Know the Lacrosse Uniform Pieces You Need
Before you request a quote, make a list of every piece your roster will wear. Mixing several styles in one order is normal, and each design simply needs to meet the minimum of 10 pieces.
Women’s racerback pinnies and shorts
Women’s lacrosse uniforms are usually a fitted racerback pinnie paired with shorts or a kilt-style skirt. The racerback opens up the shoulders for cradling and shooting, while a slightly tapered body keeps the jersey from catching on sticks. Sublimation lets you run color blocks, side panels and numbers across the whole garment without heavy patches.
Men’s shooter shirts
Shooter shirts are short-sleeve warm-up tops worn before games and at practice. A raglan sleeve and V-neck give freedom of movement over shoulder pads, and many teams match them with game shorts so the whole sideline looks consistent.
Cut-off game jerseys
The men’s cut-off jersey is a boxy, sleeveless shirt designed to sit over shoulder pads. It is cut wider through the body than a basketball jersey and is usually slightly cropped. Large front and back numbers are standard, which makes sublimation the most practical decoration method.
Reversible practice pinnies
Reversible pinnies let coaches split players into two colors in seconds. They are built from two layers of mesh, each side printed with its own color and number. Because the numbers must line up on both sides, ask your manufacturer to confirm number placement on the mockup.
2. Choose Fabric and Fit
Lacrosse is fast and physical, so the fabric has to breathe, dry quickly and survive stick checks. Most teams choose a polyester mesh or a lightweight performance knit for jerseys and pinnies, and a stretch woven or knit polyester for shorts. Polyester holds sublimation ink permanently, so colors will not crack or peel after repeated washing. At Glory Ground, our fabric is OEKO-TEX certified (certificate 23.HCN.91580), which gives clubs and school buyers extra confidence about what players wear against their skin.
Fit matters as much as fabric. Men’s game jerseys need room for pads, women’s pinnies are more fitted, and youth sizes should be checked against your players’ ages rather than adult charts. Ask for a size chart in your preferred unit and order a sample in the two or three most common sizes.
3. The 6-Step Ordering Process
- Send your brief. Share your team logo (vector files are ideal), colors, the styles you need and an estimated quantity per design.
- Review the digital mockup. Our design team turns your brief into front, back and side views, including number fonts and sponsor placement.
- Approve a physical sample. Samples are ready in about 5 days, so you can check color, hand feel and fit before committing.
- Confirm the size and number list. Send one spreadsheet with each player’s size, name and number. Mistakes here are the most common cause of reprints, so double-check it.
- Bulk production. Once the sample and roster are approved, bulk production takes around 2 weeks.
- Quality check and packing. Garments are inspected and can be packed by player, by size or by team, depending on how you plan to distribute them.
4. Plan Your Timeline
Work backward from your first game. Allow a few days for mockup revisions, 5 days for sampling, around 2 weeks for bulk production, and then shipping time to your country. Starting six to eight weeks before the season gives you a comfortable buffer for revisions and late roster changes. If you are ordering for a tournament, tell us the date at the very beginning so the schedule can be planned around it.
5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Low-resolution logos. A blurry JPG will look blurry when printed. Send vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) whenever possible.
- Skipping the sample. Screen colors differ from printed colors. A sample is the only reliable way to approve the final shade.
- Forgetting goalies and coaches. Goalie jerseys often use a different color, and coaches may want polos or shooter shirts. Add them to the same order.
- Mixing up reversible numbers. Confirm both sides of every reversible pinnie on the mockup.
