Save Big on Team Transfers: The Smart Way to Order Sports Apparel

A real example of how to combine your team crest, sponsor logo, coach gear, and fanwear — and cut costs with the Digital Hybrid formula.

Team Orders Add Up But You Can Keep Costs Down

If you’re decorating for a youth sports team, you’ve likely run into this: multiple logos, multiple garments, and rising print costs. The good news? You can bring your cost per piece way down with a smart mix of gang sheets, single image transfers, and stock numbers.

Let’s walk through a real-world example of how a local soccer club made it happen — and saved significantly in the process.

The Job: Uniforms + Fanwear for a Local Soccer Club

Here’s what the club needed:

Uniforms (25 players):

• Front team crest (3” x 3”)
• Back player number (8” tall)
• Front sponsor logo (11” x 4”)

Coach Shirts (4 coaches):

• Left chest crest only

Parent Tees (20 fans):

• A mom's and dad's design for front chest (~10-11" wide)

That’s 49 total garments, 4 different designs — and plenty of ways to save.

What's the Best Way to Order?

Here’s how to approach it strategically:

Step 1: Use a Gang Sheet for All Shared Designs

A 12.75” x 19” Digital Hybrid Gang Sheet can easily fit:

• 3” x 3” Team Crest
• 11” x 4” Sponsor Logo
• 2 Mascot Designs (reuse to offer more fanwear!)
• Duplicate crest for coaches (or even a team crest from another project!)

All of these are static designs that don’t change between players, so you can order one layout — and press across multiple garments.

• Gang sheet pricing at 50 qty: $7.24 per sheet
• 49 garments (25 players + 4 coaches + 20 fans) = 50 sheets

✔️ Used across uniforms, coach gear, and fanwear

Step 2: Use Stock Numbers for Player Numbers

Since every player needs a different number, use our ready to ship stock transfers! 

613 Originals offers Stock Number Transfers in multiple sizes, styles, and colors.

Benefits:

• Ready to ship
• Peel and press in seconds
• Lower cost per digit vs custom single images
• Ideal for 1- or 2-digit player numbers

Cost Comparison Snapshot

Total Estimated Transfer Cost: $375.50

If they had ordered all 4 logos and 25 numbers as custom single image transfers, that number could’ve easily topped $700+.

Why It Beats the Alternatives

Many decorators still order one logo at a time — or worse, pay more for smaller gang sheets from other providers.

But with 613 Originals, you get:

• Larger sheet size (12.75” x 19”) → fits more designs per sheet
• Better pricing per square inch
• No weeding. No guessing. Just press and go
• Stock numbers ready to ship fast

The Bottom Line

You don’t need to cut corners to stay on budget. You just need to order smarter.

Combining gang sheets for shared designs with stock numbers for variable data is the best way to reduce transfer costs without sacrificing quality. It’s faster, more efficient, and it keeps your profit margins healthy.
