Your season will not wait. Players join late, sponsors change, tournaments pop up. You still need your team to look sharp and match on game day. This guide shows you how to get custom soccer team kits with fast shipping in the USA—without wasting money or lowering quality.
What “Fast” Really Means (it’s not only the courier)
Shipping speed starts long before a package leaves a warehouse. True fast delivery is the result of:
-
Simple designs (fewer edits = fewer days)
-
One clean size list (no back-and-forth)
-
Quick mockup approval (same day if possible)
-
Ready artwork (vector logo = zero redraw delay)
-
Clear must-arrive date shared at the start
Do these, and you usually cut several days from the timeline—before the box even ships.
Who Needs Fast Shipping?
-
Schools filling last-minute rosters
-
Clubs upgrading after new sponsors
-
Tournament teams formed on short notice
-
Leagues replacing worn kits mid-season
-
Camps & academies with new sessions every few weeks
If any of these sound like you, plan for a fast, low-friction order flow. You will save time and stress.
What’s Included In A “Team Kit”?
Most teams order a match kit and add a few extras. Here’s a quick map:
Core match kit
-
Jersey + shorts + socks
-
Player name and number
-
Team logo on chest (or sleeve)
Popular add-ons
-
Training top or pinnie
-
Warm-up jacket / pants
-
Goalkeeper set (alternate color)
-
Staff polos (coach, trainer, manager)
-
Backpacks and captain armbands
Tip: Start with the core kit to meet your date. Add extras on the next order if timing is tight.

Materials And Print Methods (simple breakdown)
-
Moisture-wicking fabric: Keeps players cool and dry.
-
Sublimation: Ink bonds into the fabric. No peeling, great for complex graphics.
-
Heat transfer / vinyl: Works for quick numbers or simple logos; good for emergency add-ons.
-
Embroidery: Great for staff polos and hats; slower and heavier on stretchy fabrics.
For speed + durability on kits, sublimation is usually best.
Timelines You Can Plan Around (typical, not promises)
-
Standard: about 14–21 days after you approve the design
-
Rush: about 7–12 days after approval (limited slots)
-
Super rush: case-by-case; ask early
Your timer starts at design approval. Approve the mockup the same day you get it to stay on track.
Artwork & Color
-
Send vector logos (AI/EPS/PDF). If not, a high-res PNG can work.
-
Share exact colors (HEX or Pantone).
-
Choose one font and one number style.
-
Keep placements standard (front crest, back number, optional sleeve sponsor).
These choices reduce edits and prevent reprints.
Sizes & Fit: Avoid Delays and Returns
-
Run a 10-minute sizing huddle with the team.
-
Use one spreadsheet for all sizes (youth, women’s, men’s).
-
For growing players, size up one step.
-
Order 2–3 spare sets now; emergency reorders take longer and cost more.
How To Cut 5–7 Days From Your Order
-
Approve the mockup the day it arrives.
-
Send one final size list. No piecemeal updates.
-
Limit revisions to 1–2 rounds.
-
Pick a template if your date is tight.
-
Keep graphics simple. Bold colors > complex gradients.
-
Share your must-arrive date before you pay.
-
Use a physical address (no PO boxes) for rush couriers.
Budget Ideas That Still Ship Fast
-
Bundle jersey + shorts + socks (best price per player)
-
Order pre-season when possible to avoid rush fees
-
Hit bulk tiers (10/15/20+ sets) to lower unit cost
-
Repeat the layout next season; change only colors or fonts
-
Reuse training pieces more than once per week to reduce kit count
Simple Order Flow (Copy/Paste This)
-
Request a quote with your deadline, roster count, and logo files.
-
Receive mockup (usually fast for templates).
-
Approve the same day and send final sizes.
-
Production (standard or rush).
-
Shipping with tracking anywhere in the USA.
Shipping Details That Keep You On Schedule
-
Confirm courier speed: ground, 2-day, overnight.
-
Ask for tracking and signature required if shipping to a school or busy venue.
-
Share one contact number and a backup email.
-
If you move fields often, consider ship-to-coach instead of ship-to-venue.
Real-World Scenarios (And How To Win Them)
Late-season add-ons
-
Use stock-plus or semi-custom with the same palette and fonts.
-
Print only names/numbers needed; keep 1–2 spares.
New sponsor mid-season
-
Keep the base design. Swap sleeve sponsor for the fastest change.
-
Provide vector art from the sponsor to avoid redraw time.
Two tournaments back-to-back
-
Order two sets of socks and shorts. Jerseys can repeat; laundry is the bottleneck.
Print-This Checklist
-
Final team logo (vector if possible)
-
HEX or Pantone colors
-
One font + one number style
-
One spreadsheet with all sizes (youth/women’s/men’s)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How fast can custom soccer kits arrive in the USA?
With a simple design and same-day approval, many orders arrive in about 2–3 weeks. Rush options can be faster when slots are open.
Q2: What slows orders the most?
Many revision rounds, missing sizes, and low-quality logos cause the biggest delays.
Q3: Can we mix youth, women’s, and men’s sizes?
Yes. Mixed sizes are fine. Send all sizes together to keep timing tight.
Q4: Are semi-custom templates lower quality?
No. The fabric and print quality are the same. Templates just reduce design time.
Q5: Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes. Larger orders reduce price per set and often secure earlier production slots.
Q6: What file type should we send for the logo?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best. A high-resolution PNG can work if vector isn’t available.
Q7: Can we add sponsor logos?
Yes. Use standard placements (front crest, sleeve, back) to keep production moving fast.
Q8: Can we reorder later with the same design?
Yes. Your design stays on file to make reorders quick.
Q9: How do we care for the kits?
Cold wash, gentle cycle. Hang dry or low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Q10: What if the date is very close?
Ask about super-rush capacity. Provide ready artwork and one final size list on day one.
