Personalized Custom Football Player Shirt with Photo

Some players want their own name across the chest. This personalized football player shirt is a custom vintage photo tee that prints his name twice: big and arched in antique gold up top, then again in white script at the bottom beside his number, with his photo in between.

Upload his athlete photo

Built around one player

Our sample is a teen running back in a striped number 21 jersey, ball tucked in one arm, eye black under both eyes.

JAMES arches across the top in heavy gold capitals, and the black and white photo overlaps the letters a little, so it all reads as one piece. Underneath, James appears in script with #21 beside it. Waist-up or three-quarter shots fill the space best.

Who orders a custom football player shirt?

The buyer is often a parent shopping for a teen player’s birthday, or the player himself after he’s collected every jersey he can find. He wants his own name across the chest, not a pro’s.

The player himself

After every replica jersey in the closet, he finally gets one with his own name and face instead of a pro’s.

Parents, for his birthday

If his birthday falls in season, he can wear it to the next practice and act like he doesn’t care.

Coaches and team parents at the banquet

Each player gets his own photo, name and number, which makes it easy to order one for the whole roster.

A senior before senior night

He’ll want something for the photos on the field, and the hoodie handles a cold November game.

Grandparents in the stands

They’d like to wear his name while they cheer, and this one prints it twice so nobody misses it.

Start his football player tee

Setting it up

Order the style and size. Tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, plus a youth tee or toddler hoodie for younger brothers.
Choose a shirt color.
Upload the athlete photo, then type his first name and jersey number.
Check out. The arch prints in capitals, and the script keeps your capitalization.

His own name, arched like it belongs on a program

Every jersey he owns carries somebody else’s name on the back
Banquet gifts tend to be trophies that collect dust on a shelf
Senior night photos call for something better than practice gear

Young players want to see their own name the way they see their heroes’ names. His name arches across the top in heavy antique gold capitals, his black and white photo overlaps the letters, and the name repeats in white script beside his number.

Completed example: James, 21. The sample running back on this listing is a stand-in, and your player’s photo replaces him.

Print his name twice

Player shirt FAQ

Will a long name fit the arch?

Names up to about eight letters look best. Longer names still print, just a little smaller so the arch stays even.

Is this a good football banquet gift?

It’s one of the most common reasons people order it. Coaches and team parents buy one per player, each with that athlete’s photo, name and number.

Can we add his favorite pro team’s logo?

No. We don’t print pro or college stars, celebrities, rappers or public figures, and we leave out logos, brands, team marks, league emblems and characters. Send only pictures you own; a player shirt that breaks this rule gets canceled and refunded.
