Custom Sports Team Patches

Chenille patches have a soft, raised, fuzzy texture — the traditional varsity jacket letter. The most common front letter on a letterman jacket is 5 to 6 inches. Embroidered patches are flat, durable, and detailed, right for jerseys, bags, hats, and uniform patches. For letterman jackets, order chenille. For game jerseys and uniforms, order embroidered. Ordering the wrong one is the most common sports patch mistake.

Not reliably. For game jerseys washed 30-40 times per season, sew-on backing is the only durable option. Iron-on adhesive degrades on polyester and spandex jersey fabric with repeated high-heat washing. The edges peel by mid-season. We recommend sew-on for any patch that goes on a game uniform, and will flag it if you try to select iron-on for jersey use.

Standard delivery is 11-15 business days after you approve your mockup. Rush cuts that to as soon as 5 business days in hand. If you have a hard date — tournament day, picture day, first game — add it in the order notes and we confirm whether we can hit it within 6 hours, before any payment processes. Post-season championship patches ship within 10 business days on standard.

Low 5-piece minimum. We regularly produce 10-25 piece runs for youth teams, small clubs, and coach gift orders at the same quality as large league orders. The 50-piece Starter tier on our Offers page gives the best per-piece price, but a 14-patch team run is completely normal and we handle it with the same care.

Yes. Bulk pricing applies to your total order quantity, not per design. If your league orders 500 patches across 8 different team logos, every patch is priced at the 500-piece tier. League coordinators who consolidate ordering save significantly compared to each team ordering independently.

Yes, this is one of our most common rush requests. Post-season championship and tournament patches land in your hands in 11-15 business days standard, or in as soon as 5 business days with rush. Order as soon as the season ends while the momentum is still there — most teams delay and lose the moment.

Varsity jackets with leather sleeves need sew-on backing — iron-on damages leather and does not bond properly. Wool body sections can take iron-on but sew-on lasts longer. For game jerseys and polyester uniforms, sew-on is required for durability through the season. For casual apparel, equipment bags, and fan jackets, iron-on is fine.

Chenille patches are the classic choice for varsity jackets and letterman awards — thick, raised texture with a retro school feel. Embroidered patches work best for uniforms, jerseys, hats, and bags where a flat, durable patch is needed. Woven patches suit fine-detail school logos and small text. PVC patches are ideal for outdoor gear and backpacks. Most schools order a mix: chenille for jackets, embroidered for uniforms.
