Custom sublimated hockey jersey by Puck Drop Prints on the ice

How Much Do Custom Hockey Jerseys Cost?

Custom hockey jerseys cost between $55 and $99 per jersey on a team order. At Puck Drop Prints, roller jerseys are $55, sublimated jerseys are $65, and reversible or tackle twill jerseys are $99. Names, numbers, and worldwide shipping are included in every price, with a six-jersey minimum.

That's the answer. No quote form, no "contact us for pricing," no sales call where a guy named Chad asks about your "vision for the brand."

Here's everything that number actually covers, what pushes it up, and what a full team should budget.

Sublimated team jerseys are $65 each on an order of six or more, names and numbers included.

How much do custom hockey jerseys cost?

A custom hockey jersey costs $55 to $99 depending on the construction. Sublimated jerseys, the most common choice for beer league and rec teams, are $65 each. Here is the full pricing table:

Jersey type Price Fabric weight Turnaround Best for
Roller $55 110 GSM 4-5 weeks Roller and ball hockey, warm rinks, summer leagues
Sublimated $65 220 GSM 4-5 weeks Beer league, youth, tournaments. The default pick
Reversible $99 160 GSM 4-5 weeks Practice, clinics, camps, scrimmage teams
Tackle Twill (Pro) $99 210 GSM 5-6 weeks Stitched crests, embroidery, teams that want a pro sweater

All four are priced per jersey on a team order of six or more. You can see the full spec comparison on the custom hockey jersey pricing page.

What's actually included in that price?

Everything you need to skate. Each jersey price includes custom names, custom numbers, your team's colors and design, and free worldwide shipping on the team order. There are no per-letter charges, no setup fees, and no surprise line items at checkout.

That matters more than it sounds. A lot of "$45 jerseys" in this category turn into $70 jerseys once names, numbers, artwork setup, and shipping get added back in. The quoted number and the number on your card should be the same number.

Included on every jersey type:

  • Custom name on the back
  • Custom numbers, front and back
  • Full team design in your colors
  • Optional standard or laced collar
  • Free worldwide shipping on the team order

Custom names and numbers are included on every jersey type, with no per-letter charges.

Why is one jersey $55 and another $99?

The price difference is construction, not markup. Fabric weight, layering, and decoration method are what separate the tiers, and each one is a real physical difference you can feel when you put the sweater on.

Construction
What you actually get for the extra money
Jersey type Price Fabric weight Layered shoulders & elbows Embroidered logos
Roller $55 110 GSM No No
Sublimated $65 220 GSM Yes No
Reversible $99 160 GSM Yes No
Tackle Twill (Pro) $99 210 GSM Yes Yes
GSM is grams per square meter, the standard measure of fabric weight. Shoulders and elbows are where a hockey jersey wears out first.

Fabric weight (GSM). GSM is grams per square meter, the standard measure of how heavy a fabric is. A 110 GSM roller jersey is light and breathable because roller hockey is played in a hot building. A 220 GSM sublimated jersey is a proper ice sweater: heavier, more opaque, more durable.

Layering. Sublimated, reversible, and tackle twill jerseys all have double-layered shoulders and elbows. Those are the two places a hockey jersey dies first. Roller jerseys don't have them, which is part of why they're cheaper.

Decoration. Sublimation is a printing process where the ink is dyed into the fabric itself, so the design can't crack or peel. Tackle twill is stitched fabric applique, the method used on pro sweaters. Twill costs more because someone physically sews it, and it's the only option that supports embroidered logos. It also adds about a week to production.

What does the rest of the kit cost?

Matching custom socks are $20 per pair when added to a team order. Custom logo design, if your team doesn't have artwork yet, is free with a team order and the team owns it for every future order.

Matching custom socks are $20 a pair when added to a team order.

That artwork is yours to keep, not a rental. Order again in three years with a different roster and you're not paying for design then either.

What's the minimum order for custom hockey jerseys?

The team order minimum is six jerseys. Below six, you're in reorder pricing, which runs $85 for one or two pieces. There's no minimum on the design itself, and every jersey in the order can have a different name, number, and size.

Six is a real number, not a nudge toward a bigger order. Half a bench, a goalie clinic, a bachelor party line, a four-on-four squad with a couple of spares. That all clears the bar.

What do reorders cost when a guy shows up in week four?

Reorders of one or two jerseys are $85 each. At three or more, pricing drops back to the original team rate: $55 for roller, $65 for sublimated, $99 for reversible or tackle twill. Your design stays on file, so a reorder is just a name, a number, and a size.

This is the part most teams don't think about until it happens, and it happens every single season. Someone's buddy joins in October. Someone washes their sweater on hot and turns an XL into a youth large. Plan for one or two reorders and you'll never be the captain scrambling.

What should a full team budget?

A 12-player team ordering sublimated jerseys and matching socks should budget about $1,020, or $85 per player.

The math, plainly:

  1. 12 sublimated jerseys at $65 = $780
  2. 12 pairs of matching socks at $20 = $240
  3. Shipping = $0
  4. Team total: $1,020, or $85 per player
  5. Custom logo design: included free with a team order (yours forever)

Over a 20-game season that's about $4.25 per player per game. Roughly one beer. And the jersey lasts a lot longer than the beer does.

How does that compare to the rest of the market?

Custom hockey jerseys across the market generally run from about $35 to $150 per jersey. The bottom of that range is thin overseas polyester with long shipping windows. The top is stitched pro-spec twill. Most legitimate team pricing lands between $60 and $100.

Two things are worth checking on any quote you get, because they're where the real price hides:

  • Are names and numbers included, or added? This is commonly a $10-$20 per jersey add-on elsewhere.
  • Is shipping included? On a 20-jersey order, freight is not a rounding error.

Compare the delivered, decorated, shipped price. Never compare the headline number.

Why do so many jersey companies hide their pricing?

Because a quote form lets them price each team differently, and because vague pricing makes comparison shopping hard. It works, commercially. It's also annoying if you're a captain trying to text a number to your group chat on a Tuesday night.

Puck Drop Prints publishes the whole table instead. If the price works for your team, great. If it doesn't, you found that out in ten seconds instead of after three emails and a scheduled call.

Frequently asked questions

Are names and numbers included in the price of a custom jersey?

Yes. Custom names and numbers are included on every Puck Drop Prints jersey type at no extra charge. There are no per-letter fees or decoration setup fees, and free worldwide shipping is included on every team order.

How much do custom hockey socks cost?

Matching custom hockey socks are $20 per pair when added to a team order. They are printed in the same colors and design as the jerseys, so the full kit matches.

How much does a custom team logo cost?

Nothing. Custom logo design is free with a team order. The team owns the artwork, so future orders and reorders do not pay for design either.

How long does it take to get custom hockey jerseys?

Turnaround is 4 to 5 weeks for roller, sublimated, and reversible jerseys, and 5 to 6 weeks for tackle twill. Order at least six weeks before your season opener, and closer to eight weeks if you are ordering in August or September when the whole industry is backed up.

What is the cheapest way to get custom hockey jerseys for a team?

The cheapest legitimate option is a roller jersey at $55 each on a team order of six or more. For ice hockey, sublimated jerseys at $65 are the better value because the heavier 220 GSM fabric and double-layered shoulders and elbows last significantly longer.

The bottom line

$65 a jersey, $20 a pair of socks, six jerseys minimum, four to five weeks, shipping included. That's the whole thing.

If you want to see what the tiers actually look like side by side, the full pricing and spec table is public. If you'd rather see how the process runs before committing, start with how it works. And if your team doesn't have a design yet, the pre-designed jerseys are ready to recolor with your name on them.
