Selecting the right bowling shirt isn't just about apparel—it's about unity, confidence, and strategic performance. When you choose a bowling shirt that fits well, represents your team identity, and performs under pressure, you help every player feel part of something bigger. Whether you’re preparing for league play or a national tournament, getting your jerseys right makes a statement before the first ball even hits the lane.
At Apparel EFX LLC, we’ve helped teams from around the globe design custom bowling jerseys that deliver both style and substance. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key elements to consider when choosing your team’s next jersey—fit, color, logo placement, cost, and compliance.
The perfect bowling jersey should provide a blend of freedom and form. Comfort directly impacts performance, and a poor fit can distract even the best players.
Here’s what to consider when selecting sizes:
Take measurements for chest, shoulder width, back length, and sleeve length.
Choose a cut that suits your team’s style: Regular, Relaxed, or Slim.
Offer gender-specific sizing to enhance comfort across your entire roster.
Quick Tips:
Order sample shirts for sizing trials before placing your full order.
Brands like Apparel EFX offer detailed sizing charts for Men, Women, and Youth.
A good fit empowers players to move confidently—whether they’re delivering a strike or celebrating a win.
Style says a lot about a team. The colors and patterns you choose will help form your visual identity and make your team instantly recognizable.
Key factors in team jersey design:
Coordinate with league/tournament color guidelines if applicable.
Use bold colors or high-contrast pairings for better lane visibility.
Create impact with retro vibes, modern geometry, or unique paneling.
Inspiration for Color Combinations:
🔴 Bold & Bright – For high-energy teams who want to make a splash
🔵 Vintage & Subtle – For classic, timeless leagues
🟢 Custom Brand Palette – For teams with existing logos or merch
Whether you want to look fierce, friendly, or fresh, color sets the tone. Apparel EFX’s in-house designers can help refine your team’s look to ensure it reflects your spirit and goals.
A well-placed logo boosts team branding and visibility without overwhelming the design. It also helps with identification during league play or televised tournaments.

Tips:
Keep logos proportional—they should be visible but not overpowering.
Use high-resolution artwork to avoid pixelation in sublimated printing.
Consider experimenting with modern placements for a unique team look.
At Apparel EFX, we offer full sublimation options, so your logo integrates seamlessly into the fabric—no fading, peeling, or cracking.
When ordering team jerseys, price matters—but so does quality. Cheap shirts may look okay at first but often lack the comfort, durability, and design clarity needed for repeat use.
Smart Budgeting Tips:
Request quotes for both bulk and small batch orders.
Know your printing method:
Sublimation = best for full-color, all-over designs
Embroidery = great for classic logos but can feel heavy
Screen printing = cost-effective but may fade faster
Factor in personalization:
Adding names and numbers increases cost, but adds a pro finish.
Remember: Durable fabrics like high-grade polyester may cost more upfront but save money in the long run thanks to fewer replacements and better performance.
Not all leagues are the same. Some have uniform regulations—from collar type to color restrictions or sponsor display requirements. Before finalizing your design:
Review your league’s dress code or uniform policies.
Confirm if there are branding limitations or placement rules.
Ask your team for feedback on design prototypes.
Bonus Tip: Start the process early. Custom orders—especially sublimated designs—can take several weeks for production and shipping.
By planning ahead and aligning with regulations, your team will not only look unified but will also avoid last-minute surprises at check-in.

What’s the best way to ensure my team’s shirts fit everyone?
Use detailed sizing charts and gather individual measurements. If possible, order sample sizes to test before bulk ordering.
How do I select team shirt colors for performance and unity?
Pick contrasting colors for visibility and ensure they align with your branding or league requirements.
