Sports Team Kit Printing — Football, Rugby, Cricket & Club Kit

Grassroots and amateur teams don't have a kit budget to match a pro club, and don't need one — they need matching shirts, a squad list that's actually correct, and a printer who won't make them order fifty when they need fourteen. FabricForge prints team kit in-house in London: no minimum order, every name and number checked on a proof before anything prints.

What we print for teams

• Matchday and training shirts — club crest or name on the front, squad numbers and surnames on the back, every shirt different at no extra cost.
• Coach and official polos — smart, durable printing for the sidelines. See our custom polo shirt.
• Warm-up hoodies and tour kit — for pre-season, away days and end-of-season socials.
• Supporter and fan tees — for a big cup run or a testimonial.
• One-off tournament and 5-a-side shirts — no minimum means a single five-a-side team is as welcome as a full club.

Sports we print for

Football, rugby, cricket, netball, hockey, running and athletics clubs, martial arts and boxing gyms, cycling clubs, and five-a-side and Sunday league sides — if your squad needs matching kit, we can print it.

Why DTF suits team kit

Because every shirt is printed individually, each player's name and number is set separately — there's no extra plate or screen cost for changing a name mid-run, which is exactly what a squad list needs. Full colour costs the same as one colour, so club crests print exactly as designed rather than simplified down to save money. For more on how DTF compares to other methods, see our DTF vs Screen Printing vs DTG guide, or our sportswear-specific durability guide for how it holds up to stretch, sweat and frequent match washing.

How ordering works

1. Send your squad list and crest — WhatsApp, email, or a spreadsheet works fine. A rough logo sketch is fine too if you don't have artwork yet.
2. We set it up and send a proof — every name and number checked before anything prints. We keep the crest artwork on file for next season.
3. We print and deliver — free UK delivery in 2–4 working days, or same-day delivery quotes available in London. Collection from Enfield EN3 / East London E14 too.

The history behind the shirt

Squad numbers and sponsor logos both have surprisingly specific origins — read the history of football shirts: numbers, names and sponsors for the full story, including the small club that beat Liverpool to shirt sponsorship by three years.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum order for team kit?

No — a five-a-side team of seven is as welcome as a full squad of thirty. Discounts apply from 5+ items.

Can every shirt have a different name and number?

Yes — that's standard with DTF printing, at no extra cost per name.

Can you match our club's exact crest colours?

We print to your colour references as closely as our garment and ink ranges allow — send your crest and we'll confirm honestly before you order.

Do you keep our crest on file for next season?

Yes — reordering or adding new squad members next season takes one message.

Can you turn kit around before a specific match or tournament?

Once your proof is approved, printing plus free UK delivery is typically 2–4 working days. Tell us your date and we'll confirm honestly before you commit.

I only need one or two shirts, not a full squad — can you still help?

Yes — for individual or small-group orders, our Personalised Football Kit Printing page is set up specifically for that, with the same free proof and DTF print quality.
