Getting soccer jerseys made up....
I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction of getting some soccer jerseys made up in the city for a new team.
I do have a logo that needs to be put on it and then from there, the basic 2 to 22 set.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Depending on the league, you might get a discount going through Strikers if you want a name brand jersey as well as matching shorts.
If not, there's a few corporate wear places out there that can put it on a jersey-style polyester t-shirt that would probably be cheaper.

We went through the place in Willow Park once and Kicks at Southland once. I believe we had a better experience with Kicks.

you dont want to be wearing t shirts while you play so i would recommend going to a soccer store and asking them what they can do and for what price, there are a couple in the city so just go around and ask for what you want, they also have guides on the style of jerseys so that makes it a little bit easier to make a decision

I'd agree. It just depends what kind of budget they're on. If they want some awesome Nike Dri-Fit, or Umbro Pro, or if they want Stormtech.
Kicks are good, same with Strikers from what I've heard. Can't imagine The Soccer Shop in Willow Park is very good, they sell two year old jerseys for full (which in Canada is a grossly inflated) price.

I think we are looking for something decent. For my womens team, we wear Admiral and they are pretty comfy, while absorbent if they need to be. This set is going to be for a co-ed team. The only thing I'm curious about is the male/female sizing. Does a team set all have to be a certain size? I'm wondering if 2-12 could be a medium and the rest large. I'm sure it won't be a huge issue, but thought I would throw it out there.
I appreciate all of the suggestions. And I concur that I haven't had the best luck with the Willow Park store for previous personal purchases.

Might not be a bad idea to have a couple smalls and XLs kicking around just in case. Mediums might be cumbersome big on some girls, and some guys who could wear large might like having a looser fit. So maybe 2 Sm, 8 Md, 8 Lg, 2 XL?
Generally speaking, Small is 36-38", Medium is 38-40" range, Large is 42-44" and XL is 46-48". There's some deviations by brand (Adidas tends to fit bigger than Nike and Umbro).

River City Sports is pretty awesome. I've dealt with them 2-3 times and they are outstanding.
When I was in the national program, I know the association used them as well.

The one thing that the Willow Park store had that no others did was in-house numbering. Seems all the other places need to send out for it and if you leave it till 2 days before your first game like we seemed to do it's the only choice.
