In this guide we will introduce and elaborate on the key factors that you may want to consider when shopping for a custom esports jersey for your team or gaming brand. This guide will include the different types of jerseys, printing methods, ordering options, fulfillment, and distribution. There are a lot of moving parts with custom anything; but esports introduces additional challenges when compared to other custom industries.
Understanding the Printing Method for Custom Esports Jerseys
Introduction
Whether you're a team manager, competitive player, or community leader, choosing the right print method is essential for your jersey's look, durability, and comfort. While several methods exist in the custom apparel space, one stands above the rest for esports: Cut and Sew Sublimation.
In this section, we’ll break down how it works, why it’s ideal for competitive environments, and what advantages it brings over older techniques like DTG and screen printing.
Cut and Sew Sublimation
Cut and Sew Sublimation is the gold standard in esports apparel. Unlike traditional printing methods that apply ink on top of the fabric, sublimation infuses the design directly into the material. The result? A vibrant, full-color print that won’t crack, fade, or peel—even after heavy use.
Every jersey is printed in individual panels, then sewn together for a polished, pro-level finish. This process allows for true edge-to-edge design—so your patterns, logos, and colors wrap the entire jersey without restriction. It's the perfect blend of performance, durability, and creative freedom.

Navigating Esports Team Outfitting: Payment & Distribution Logistics
Equipping an esports team goes far beyond design—it requires thoughtful planning around payment, distribution, and workflow. Here’s how Exclaim helps teams handle these real-world complexities with flexibility and ease.
💳 Who Pays? Manager vs. Player Models
Team Manager Pays: Common in professional orgs or school-funded programs, where a central budget covers uniforms for the whole team.
Individual Players Pay: Typical in grassroots teams or community orgs. Players cover their own jerseys, often through a shared store link.
📦 Order Structure: Bulk vs. Individual
Bulk Orders: A manager gathers sizes and places one big order. It’s efficient and cost-effective, but requires upfront coordination and handling of post-delivery distribution.
Individual Orders via Team Store: Each player (or fan) places their order through a shared storefront. Sizes, shipping, and payments are all handled automatically—plus it enables fan merch sales and built-in fundraising.
🚚 Shipping Options
Single-Address Shipping: All gear ships to one location (often the manager). You handle distribution manually afterward.
Individual Shipping: Orders are shipped directly to each player or supporter. Less overhead for you, but slightly higher shipping costs per item.
🛒 Payment Options for Team Stores
Players Pay Individually: The simplest setup—each customer covers their own gear at checkout.
Team/Company Pays: You can prepay for orders or set up a system where the org is charged while players customize and check out like normal.
🧠 Store Management: Take Full Control
Exclaim gives users complete control over their own storefronts—perfect for leaders who want autonomy, speed, and clarity. Here’s what you get:
- Custom Storefront: Branded space featuring your designs and product lineup.
- Editable Product Listings: Choose what’s available and update offerings as needed.
- Flexible Pricing: Set your margins, run promotions, and control every dollar.
- Real-Time Management: Make changes anytime—no devs or customer service requests needed.
This structure supports individual payments, increases transparency, and empowers teams to operate like a small business without the usual headaches.
🧢 More Than Jerseys: Expand Into 150+ Products
Exclaim isn’t just for jerseys—we support full-on merch ecosystems. Use your designs across apparel, accessories, and fan gear to build a brand and generate revenue.
- Wide Product Catalog: From hoodies and hats to mousepads and team bundles.
- Seamless Store Integration: All products can live in one central storefront.
- Fundraising-Ready: Teams earn on every sale with no inventory or prepayment needed.
- Custom Branding: Align every product with your team’s identity.
