The cost to add a club crest to a custom jersey needs to be confirmed against your chosen garment and finished design; a jersey’s listed price does not establish a separate crest charge or prove that crest application is included. For a 2026 club order, ask for written confirmation covering the crest, artwork preparation and every placement before you collect player payments.
TL;DR
- FE Custom lists soccer jerseys ready for logos; confirm crest inclusion against your selected garment.
- The cost to add a club crest to a custom jersey requires a quote for the finished design.
- Reversible basketball jerseys need crest placement checked on both customisable sides.
- Compare matching garment, artwork and placement requirements, not jersey listings alone.
How much does it cost to add a club crest to a custom jersey?
Get the crest inclusion confirmed in writing rather than treating the jersey listing as a complete decoration quote. Start with the pricing information, then check the exact garment and artwork requirements for your order.
Separate the garment from the work needed to reproduce your club identity. A description saying a jersey is ready for logos establishes a customisation purpose, not the financial terms for your particular crest.
Use this breakdown when requesting your 2026 quote. These are items to confirm, not a list of charges that necessarily apply.
| Quote component | What to ask | What the answer establishes |
|---|---|---|
| Jersey | Which exact garment and fit does the quote cover? | The base garment being supplied |
| Club crest | Is the submitted crest included in the quoted total? | Whether crest application is part of the order |
| Artwork preparation | Is the supplied file usable, and is preparation included? | Whether artwork work needs separate approval |
| Placement | Which position and dimensions have been agreed? | The decoration being quoted |
| Reversible design | Does the quote cover the crest on both sides? | The scope of the reversible design |
| Other logos | Are sponsor logos and wordmarks included? | Which additional artwork belongs in the total |
Ask the supplier to mark each component as included, separately quoted or not requested. That gives your treasurer a usable record without assuming every component attracts an extra charge.
Why this matters
A club committee needs to approve the finished jersey, not just the garment name. If your quote describes a top but your team expects a crest, sponsor artwork and a matching reverse, the documents need to say the same thing.
Keep the buying decision narrow: choose the right garment, define the crest treatment, then approve the complete order. This is more useful than comparing headline garment figures that describe different designs.
For an Australian online order, put the delivery postcode and required playing date in the same brief. Ask for delivery arrangements separately so the committee can distinguish garment customisation from getting the order to the club.
Soccer jerseys: confirm the crest within the full design
A soccer crest should be considered alongside the club wordmark, sponsor artwork and jersey pattern. Approve those elements together rather than signing off on a crest in isolation and deciding everything else later.
The supplied descriptions for the soccer jerseys below state that the tops are ready for logos, sponsors or team wordmarks. They also state that matching shorts are sold separately. Treat a jersey order and a complete playing kit as different scopes.
For your 2026 soccer order, write down the crest position and intended size before asking for confirmation. Do not assume a familiar chest placement will be inferred from the club name or an old team photograph.
Your brief should distinguish between artwork shared across the squad and any player-specific details you request. Ask for each requested element to appear on the design approval and order confirmation.
Recommendation: approve the entire soccer jersey layout before approving the crest component. That keeps the club identity, sponsor placement and garment choice tied to the same order.
Reversible basketball jerseys: check both customisable sides
A reversible basketball jersey needs a clear instruction for each playing face. The listed Magic City women’s reversible jersey has 2 customisable sides; specify whether the crest belongs on both, and ask for that scope to be confirmed.
Do not assume that reversing the garment automatically repeats the complete design. State the crest, sponsor artwork and wordmark requirements for each side, even when you want the same artwork repeated.
Use the following comparison to decide what to put in the brief. Neither approach establishes a decoration charge without confirmation.
| Design approach | Best for | Benefit | Limitation to resolve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crest on one specified face | A design requiring club identification on that face only | A clearly defined placement brief | The reverse needs its own explicit instruction |
| Crest on both faces | A team wanting its crest visible whichever face is worn | Club identification is specified for both playing faces | Both layouts need approval |
Check the crest against each background. A mark that reads clearly on one colour still needs review on the other, particularly when the crest contains fine lettering or an outline close to the background colour.
Recommendation: approve both reversible layouts together. Ask the supplier to confirm that the written quote matches those layouts, rather than relying on a general reference to a reversible jersey.
Which jersey types fit a club-crest brief?
FE Custom is suited to Australian teams ordering custom soccer jerseys or reversible basketball jerseys online. Its listed products include soccer tops ready for logos and reversible basketball jerseys with customisable sides; the crest inclusion still needs confirmation for the selected order.
The following examples show different garment requirements, not a ranking of crest application methods. Choose the sport and fit first, then confirm the artwork scope.
| Listed product | Best for | Relevant detail | Buying limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| United FC Raglan Custom Soccer Jersey - Womens | A women’s soccer team specifying club artwork | Described as ready for logos, sponsors or team wordmarks | Matching soccer shorts are sold separately |
| Magic City Custom Reversible Basketball Jersey - Womens | A women’s basketball team planning artwork on both faces | Described as having two customisable sides | Crest inclusion and placement need order-specific confirmation |
The useful distinction is the garment’s purpose. A soccer top and a reversible basketball jersey require different design instructions, so a club should not copy the same brief between them unchanged.

Why club-crest quote scopes differ
Compare what each quote covers before comparing the totals. The supplied garment descriptions support several different customisation requirements, but they do not establish a universal crest surcharge.
Use these factors to make the scope consistent:
- Garment choice: identify the exact soccer or basketball jersey, not just the sport.
- Fit category: specify the women’s, men’s or youth product being considered rather than assuming the garment is interchangeable.
- Customisable sides: state the crest requirements for each face of a reversible basketball jersey.
- Additional artwork: list sponsor logos and team wordmarks alongside the crest.
- Matching garments: distinguish the jersey from separately ordered shorts or other kit pieces.
These factors define the order; they are not proof that any particular item changes the charge. Ask the supplier to explain the confirmed total against your finished brief.
For a 2026 committee comparison, give every supplier the same artwork and garment requirements. Otherwise, an apparently simpler quote could describe less of the order you actually want.
How do you request a clear crest quote?
Send a single, organised brief instead of spreading decisions across player messages. Keep 1 approved crest file as the reference for the order, and appoint 1 named approver to confirm the final design.
Follow this sequence so the garment, artwork and written confirmation stay connected:
- Choose the garment. Record the exact product title and intended fit category. State whether the jersey is reversible.
- Supply the crest. Send the club-approved artwork and ask whether the file is suitable for the proposed application.
- Specify placement. Describe where the crest belongs and ask the supplier to confirm its finished dimensions on the design.
- Approve the scope. Check the crest, other logos and every requested face against the written order before authorising it.
Keep the approved artwork and confirmation together in the club’s order folder. A new volunteer should be able to identify the correct crest without searching an old group chat.
For an FE Custom order, use the contact page to confirm the crest requirements against your selected garment. Include your Australian delivery postcode and required date, and ask for written confirmation rather than assuming a delivery promise.
What should you check in the crest artwork?
Start with the club’s authorised crest, not whichever version is easiest to find. Confirm the spelling, internal lettering, colours and any small symbols before asking the supplier to assess the file.
Review the crest at its proposed garment size. Enlarging it on a screen is useful for spotting errors, but it does not replace checking whether the smallest lettering is readable at the intended size.
Ask whether the supplied file can be used as submitted or needs preparation. Do not assume a file extension alone proves suitability, and do not approve an altered crest without the club’s agreement.
If the artwork includes a sponsor, keep the sponsor approval separate from the club’s crest approval. That makes responsibility clear without treating either approval as permission to change the other mark.
Is adding a crest included in a custom jersey order?
Crest inclusion needs confirmation for the particular order. A product description stating that a jersey is ready for logos does not, by itself, settle the inclusion terms for your submitted club crest.
Ask for the answer against the exact garment and layout. Keep that confirmation with the approved design so the club has a clear record of what it authorised.
Does a reversible jersey need the crest on both sides?
A reversible jersey needs an explicit crest instruction for each side; it does not have to repeat the crest unless that is your approved design. For a garment with 2 customisable sides, review both layouts before ordering.
If your team wants club identification on either playing face, state that requirement directly. Do not leave the reverse to interpretation.
Can you add a crest to jerseys the club already owns?
Adding artwork to existing jerseys is a separate request from ordering new custom jerseys. Ask the supplier whether it accepts existing garments and whether the proposed crest application suits those garments before committing.
Provide the garment details and photographs when making the enquiry. A custom-jersey product listing should not be treated as confirmation of an alteration service.
FAQ
How do I find the cost to add a club crest to a custom jersey?
Request written confirmation for your selected garment, crest artwork and placement. Ask whether crest application and any artwork preparation are included in the finished order.
Does FE Custom include a club crest with every jersey?
Confirm crest inclusion for your selected FE Custom jersey before ordering. The supplied descriptions identify products ready for logos, but that wording does not establish the inclusion terms for every crest request.
What should I send with a club crest enquiry?
Send the exact garment title, approved crest file and requested placement. Include any sponsor artwork, reversible-side requirements, delivery postcode and required playing date in the same brief.
Can a reversible basketball jersey have a crest on both sides?
The listed Magic City women’s reversible basketball jersey has two customisable sides. Ask for the crest to be specified on each requested face and confirm that both layouts are covered by the order.
Should I approve the crest separately from the jersey design?
Approve the crest as part of the complete jersey layout. Check its position alongside sponsor artwork, wordmarks and the garment background before authorising the order.
Are matching shorts included with the listed soccer jerseys?
Matching soccer shorts are sold separately according to the supplied soccer jersey descriptions. Keep the jersey and any matching kit pieces distinct in your order brief.
Can I use an old club crest file for a new order?
Use an old file only after the club confirms it is the authorised version. Ask the supplier to assess its suitability rather than assuming previous use guarantees it suits the new garment.
One last thing
Save the approved crest together with the approved jersey layout. The artwork file identifies the mark, but the layout records where and how you asked for it to appear.
Before closing your 2026 order, make sure the next club volunteer can find both. That is a practical handover, not just an artwork archive.
