Optional Costs
Cycling Jerseys
Most custom jersey orders require a minimum jersey order of 25 - 30. A custom jersey is when the Team Captain supplies the design to the vendor. Team Captains may also opt for a semi-custom jersey; this is a pre-designed jersey that allows the team or corporate logo to be placed within the design. Most jersey vendors have templates to help teams design their jerseys.
Cycling jerseys tend to run small; they are cut like racing jerseys, so plan sizes accordingly. The average cost is $50 - $60 per jersey, plus artwork charges. Production time is approximately 6 - 8 weeks. It is best to place orders in May and June to ensure delivery, but may be placed in July. Most jersey companies also require a 50 percent deposit at time of order.
