Toronto, July 5, 2026 — Canadian sports teams are placing custom uniform orders earlier than usual this summer as suppliers report tighter availability ahead of the fall season, according to Jons Spot order data and feedback from team managers.
The rush is most visible among hockey, soccer, and basketball programs ordering between June and August. Teams that submit complete rosters and artwork by early August are more likely to avoid back-order delays and last-minute decoration bottlenecks.
Step 1: Pick your base garments
Start with the sport or season. Basketball and soccer teams often prefer lightweight performance tees, while hockey and football programs lean toward heavier practice jerseys or hoodies. Material choice affects both decoration durability and athlete comfort.
Step 2: Plan decoration placements
- Front left chest: team crest or sponsor logo.
- Back: large player name and number.
- Sleeve or collar: secondary sponsor or year mark.
Step 3: Use a roster
Send a spreadsheet with player names, numbers, and sizes, and the shop can build each garment automatically. Volume pricing applies to most team orders of six or more pieces.
