Football Kit Printing and Embroidery

Football Kit Printing and Embroidery

A professional kit starts with the details. Your badge, your sponsors and your players' names are what make a team look unified, credible and ready to compete. At SX Sports, we handle all of it, with football kit printing and embroidery produced in-house at our Essex base.

We have been personalising teamwear since 2001, working with grassroots sides, academies, schools and clubs competing at national league level. Whether you need a single embroidered crest or full squad numbers across a new kit, we deliver a finish built to survive a full season of training, matches and washing.

Doing it ourselves makes a real difference. Because we print and embroider on-site rather than sending work elsewhere, we control quality, keep turnaround tight, and can react quickly when a club needs something at short notice. 

When to Choose Printing over Embroidery, and Vice Versa?

Printing and embroidery do different jobs, and the right choice depends on the garment and the look you want. Printing uses heat-applied or DTF graphics that sit light on the fabric, which makes it ideal for performance shirts and bold, colourful designs. Embroidery stitches the design straight into the garment for a premium, hard-wearing finish that works beautifully on badges, polos and outerwear.

Many clubs combine both across a kit, embroidered crests with printed numbers, for example, and we will advise on the best mix for your fabric and budget. 

What Can We Personalise?

We offer a complete personalisation service covering every part of your kit.

Club Badges

Your crest is the heart of your identity. We produce professionally finished badges that can be printed or embroidered, depending on your fabric and preference, keeping your design crisp and consistent across the whole squad.

Sponsor Logos

Sponsor placement requires accuracy and consistency. Our sponsor logos service ensures every shirt aligns with league regulations while maintaining a strong visual impact. This is essential for clubs investing in bespoke sports kits for competitive exposure.

Shirt Numbers, Initials, and Names

Clear identification is vital on the pitch. We provide professional shirt numbers, initials and names using materials designed for repeated washing and intense play. This is a core part of our personalised kit service for teams at all levels.

How Does Football Kit Printing Work at SX Sports?

Ordering personalisation is straightforward, even if it is your first time. Choose the kit you want from your preferred brand, then add the printing and embroidery options you need. Send us your badge and sponsor artwork, and if it is not quite print-ready, our logo design and redraw service will sharpen it up at no extra fuss.

We confirm your design before anything goes into production, so you know exactly what you are getting. Once approved, custom orders are typically completed within 2 to 3 weeks. We keep your finished designs on file, which makes reordering mid-season quick and keeps every batch looking identical.

Built for Clubs at Every Level

From a local under-9s side to clubs competing in the National League, we produce personalisation that meets league presentation standards. We pay close attention to placement, sizing and durability, so your kit looks the part whether it is a Sunday morning fixture or a televised match. Because everything is done in-house, we control the quality from start to finish.

Printing and Embroidery FAQs

What is the difference between printing and embroidery for sports kits?

Printing uses heat-applied or sublimated graphics, ideal for lightweight performance fabrics. Embroidery stitches designs directly into the garment, offering a premium finish. Many custom kits combine both methods to balance durability, comfort, and visual impact.

Can we order personalised teamwear kits for multiple age groups?

We regularly supply personalised teamwear kits across entire clubs. This ensures consistent colours, fonts, and layouts while allowing age-specific sizing. It is a practical solution for clubs managing junior, youth, and senior squads.

How long does football kit printing usually take?

Turnaround times for custom kits depend on order size and design complexity. They are typically completed within 2 to 3 weeks once your design has been confirmed. Timings can move slightly during the busy summer period, so we always agree on a timeline before production begins. If you have a fixture or tournament deadline, tell us early, and we will plan your order around it wherever possible.

Is there a minimum order for printing and embroidery?

There is no strict minimum for most personalisation, so we can handle anything from a single replacement shirt to a full squad order. For larger custom kit projects, we will give you a clear quote based on your numbers. If you are ordering for a whole club or several age groups, get in touch, and we will recommend the most cost-effective approach.

Will the printing last through a full season?

Yes. We use professional-grade materials and apply them in-house, so your badges, numbers and sponsor logos are made to withstand regular play and repeated washing. Embroidery in particular offers a hard-wearing, premium finish. Following the care guidance on your garments will help your personalisation stay sharp and vibrant right through the season.
