Hello budding artist! 🌟 Should we throw the painter’s palette aside and take out the sporty equipment instead? We’re speaking nifty tips to design your own custom sports shirt with FE Custom online customiser. You’ll see your artwork in the big leagues and we’re here to help you get there!
EMBARKING ON YOUR DESIGN JOURNEY 🎨
We’re all about the shirt but also about the story, your story! Basketball 🏀, soccer ⚽, cricket 🏏, tennis 🎾, netball 🏐, AFL 🏉 or perhaps e-sports 🎮, every sport has its own tale and style. And you know what? So does the individual!
DESIGN ELEMENTS ✏️
Shapes and sizes are (almost) limitless. From loved circles or preferred stripes to something a little more avant-garde, you choose and we encourage you to keep playing and experimenting until you find that perfect fit that will flatter your sport and frame your spirit.
Colours can represent the energy and spirit of your team. Neon orange will instantly feel right for basketball, but a retro teal could hold unique nuances about your basketball team’s personality. The colour palette is wide; get to know it, experiment and ultimately make it explode into a kaleidoscope that will be a visual synonym for your team.
The font you select could be compared to the vocal chord of your team. Your team’s name must not only stand out but tell its story, and that could be expressed through a classic, bold typeface or a whimsy, playful script. A good thing to keep at the back of your mind here is that legibility is your friend, especially if your team is on the pitch scoring goals or on the pitch hitting sixes and you want the crowd to sing your name.
Logo placement: Whether you’re brandishing a mascot, an emblem or a symbol, the key elements are legibility and recognition. It’s not what you put on the shirt but where you put it so it can be seen, admired and ultimately, recognised. Don’t hide it away, especially when goals are scored and autographs are being written onto shirts that become prized mementos for supporters.
THE SPORT-SPECIFIC SPRINT 🏃
Aesthetics and functionality are different for each sport:
- Basketball & Netball: Breathable, airy fabrics and designs that will stand out from the bleachers!
- Soccer & AFL: Make sure the colours contrast with the ball for visibility during that breakaway.
- Cricket & Tennis: Light colours that dissipate heat and fantastic visibility on sunny days.
- e-Sports: Comfy materials and any design that gives a vibe of the gamer you aspire to be.
TAILORING TO YOUR TEAM: DEMOGRAPHIC DESIGNS 👦👧👨👩
For the Kids: Use bright colours, fun fonts and playful graphics! Materials should be sturdy to handle all the wear and tear.
Women Warriors: Use a variety of fits and styles. Your design should respect and enhance all different body types and ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident on the field!
