Softball Uniforms Cost Guide

For a standard 15-player roster, you'll pay $58.98 per uniform at the 10+ quantity tier, saving $1.00 per player compared to smaller orders.

Individual Component Cost (Softball Jerseys or Softball Pants Only)

Need to order jerseys and pants separately, or just replace a few pieces?

Note that bulk pricing applies per item type. For example, ordering 5 jerseys and 5 pants separately qualifies for the 5-to-9-piece tier on each item, not the 10-19 tier. To maximize savings, order complete uniform sets whenever possible.

What Actually Drives the Price Up?

The base uniform price covers everything most teams need, but certain upgrades will increase your total cost.

Understanding these add-ons helps you decide what's worth the investment and what you can skip. All upgrades are calculated as a percentage increase on the base price.

Print Method Upgrades

The standard option is full sublimation (included in base price), which dyes designs directly into the fabric. Sublimated designs provide the most durable print because the ink becomes part of the fabric itself, making it the most durable printing method for athletic wear. 

If you need an alternative, DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing adds +10% to the price. This method sits on top of the fabric rather than being dyed in.

For a premium look, embroidered designs add +30% to the cost. Traditional embroidery creates a raised, textured appearance typically reserved for elite travel teams or organizations wanting a classic, high-end look.

Fabric Upgrades

The standard poly-knit fabric (150 GSM) is included in the base price. This moisture-wicking polyester handles sweat and stands up to repeated washing, making it suitable for recreational through competitive play.

Moisture-wicking fabrics reduce sweat accumulation better than cotton, helping athletes maintain core temperature during intense play.

Additional cost for premium fabric options ranges from +10% to +30%:

• +10% ($6.00): Poly-Mesh Sub Premium, 160 GSM

•  

• +15% ($9.00): Poly-Mesh Sub Premium, 180 GSM

•  

• +20% ($12.00): Pro-Wick Ultra Premium, Laminated 200 GSM

•  

• +25% ($15.00): Pro-Wick Ultra Premium, Laminated 220 GSM or Poly-Cotton Premium, 230 GSM

•  

• +30% ($18.00): Pro-Wick Ultra Premium, Laminated 250 GSM or Pique-Wick Ultra Premium, 180 GSM

GSM (grams per square meter) measures fabric weight and density. Higher GSM typically means more durable fabric, while lower GSM offers better breathability.

Customization Upgrades

Teams appreciate the ability to personalize uniforms beyond the standard choices. Beyond fabric and printing, several customization options let you fine-tune your uniforms:

• Neckline: Standard V-neck is included. Add +10% ($6.00) for a round neck option.

•  

• Pant Pockets: No pockets are standard. Add +5% ($3.00) for standard pockets or +10% ($6.00) for zip pockets that securely hold keys or small items.

•  

• Buttons: White, black, or no buttons are included. Add +10% ($6.00) for custom color buttons that match your team colors.

•  

• Belts: Belts aren't included in the base uniform. Add +10% ($6.00) for black belts or +20% ($12.00) for custom color belts.

Expect additional charges for rush shipping, as well as for larger sizes (2XL and up) and custom sizes.

How to Save on Custom Softball Uniforms

You don't need a massive budget to outfit your team in quality gear. Here are five proven tactics to reduce your uniform costs without compromising on quality.

• Order complete uniform sets, not individual pieces. A complete set ($59.98) costs the same as buying a jersey ($29.99) and pants ($29.99) separately.

•  

• Hit the bulk pricing thresholds. Ordering 10+ uniforms saves $1.00 per player, which means $15 in savings for a 15-player roster.

•  

• Skip unnecessary upgrades. Embroidered logos and premium fabrics add 30% each. Stick with standard poly-knit and sublimation to save hundreds.

•  

• Take advantage of free design services. Sports Gear Swag offers free design assistance, which means you can create professional-looking uniforms without hiring an outside designer.

•  

• Find options with free shipping. With Sports Gear Swag, orders over $50 ship for free, which you'll hit with just two uniform pieces or a single complete set.

By combining these strategies, you can easily save 20-30% on your total uniform order, money that's better spent on equipment, tournament fees, or team activities.
