Football Jersey Printing in London

πŸ“… April 6, 2026 ✍️ Daniel Hayes ⏱️ 6 min read

From Sunday league to five-a-side, London football teams need kits that look sharp, survive tackling and sweat, and print quickly ahead of the new season.

1. Printing for London's Football Scene

From Sunday league clubs across every borough to five-a-side regulars and youth academies, London has one of the most active grassroots football scenes in the country β€” and most teams want a kit that looks as sharp as a professional club's.

2. Kit Design Tips

Bold, high-contrast colors read best on the pitch and in team photos. Keep sponsor logos to the chest or sleeve, and reserve the back for player names and numbers so nothing overlaps or looks cluttered.

3. Durability On the Pitch

Football kits take heavy contact and constant washing across a season. Sublimation printing on performance polyester is the most durable option, resisting cracking and fading through tackles, mud, and the wash.

4. Timing Your Season Order

Order your kit at least 3–4 weeks before the new season starts to allow time for design approval, production, and any last squad-number changes before matchday one.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Confirm your full squad numbering before submitting your order β€” changing individual numbers after printing starts usually means a separate, costlier reprint.
