Share Your Custom Jerseys

[SauronHimself]

I was wondering who here likes to have custom jerseys printed vice wearing the cookie-cutter ones with various brands splattered all over them. I had three of the same ones (pictured below) made by AK Apparel.

Nerding out.

I'd like to take a stab at designing my own jersey - how much does it cost to get them printed up like that? aren't there minimums you have to meet?

[MrMook]

Voler and Verge have a semi-custom program, and there are no minimums (though quantity does bring the unit cost down).

[matfam]

Eclipse Cycling makes custom jerseys with no minimum. 29.99 I have no idea what their quality is like. Mostly good reviews from what I have found.

Not mine but I thought it was amusing

[SauronHimself]

AK Apparel didn't have any minimums, and if I remember correctly they were $80 each. Their quality is really nice because the designs are blended in with the fabric and not printed on top of it, so it won't wash out over time.

Price - Flame Cycling
I have designed this for my Church group. I have not yet received the jersey but it will be here this week. The cost was only $45 for one of.

I'm sorry but being brought up Catholic I do find it hysterical you chose to go with flames for your church group jersey. No offense intended.

AK Apparel does a good job and the price comes down a fair bit if you're ordering more than 1 at a time.

I did a custom jersey (prototype) for a charity ride team I was on a couple years ago. Chivalric / crusader theme...



It was intended to have the look of a surcoar over a chaimail jerkin...didn't turn out too bad considering. Cool thing is that the chainmail was photorealistic...I had a couple questions about the weight until folks looked a little closer and realized it was a printed pattern.

As a heart attack.

[robocp01]

I think that is really original cool design.

[heybrady]

I am intrigued by Eclipse and Flame, which seem to be the same place. Or more likely, one is ripping off the others site (it is China, after all).

Anyone here that can vouch for the quality and sizing?

[LostViking]

What programs are people using to do the designs? Photoshop? If so, which version?

[heybrady]

Flame, Eclipse, and AK all have nice design wizards on their sites. I also used Photoshop Elements to clean up images and design for transparent backgrounds.

Yet the Holy Spirit manifested himself as a flame in the upper room and God describes himself as a consuming fire.

[Indetrucks]

I'm designing a jersey on AK's site for a local charity ride I'm helping out with - I'll see how it comes out.

[youcoming]

Oshawa Cycling Club jersey only picture I have of it.

[LostViking]

Okay here's one I'm working on.

As it's my first foray into jersey design so I want to keep it a simple and retro-like:



Note: Using AK's design wizard.
Attached is my orig design - so you can see where I'm going with it.

What'cha think?

[LostViking]

@indetrucks

Nice!

Is that single unit price or in quantity?

[ratherBclimbing]

What programs are people using to do the designs? Photoshop? If so, which version?

Personally I'd use Illustrator or some other vector-based software if I was going to design logos or type, but Photoshop will work fine so long as your base images are big enough and you know how to set up your 'canvas' side accordingly. Version doesn't matter, Photoshop 3.1 could handle this kind of workload. I'm sure you can find jersey templates online, start there and fill in your artwork.

Edit: Oops, didn't see page 2, looks like you got it figured out.
