Quick Answer

How does a name-and-number baseball shirt work?

You send us the player's last name and jersey number and choose the color when you order. We print it to order in bold varsity lettering, name arched on top and number below, then ship it free across the contiguous US.

A custom baseball shirt comes down to two decisions: the name and the number. They're small, but they're what turn a nice shirt into something only your family could wear. The good news: there's no wrong answer, only the one that feels like you.

This guide walks you through both: what name to use based on who's wearing it, which number to choose, where to place them, and how to tell us what you want when you order.

The Name

What name to use

It depends on who's wearing it. These are the options that work best.

The Family Last Name

The safest pick and the one that keeps everyone matching, just like it sits on the player's jersey.

The Role

For parents and grandparents: Baseball Mom, Baseball Dad, Grandma. It says who you are in the stands.

The Team Name

For team sets and group orders, paired with the player's number or the season year.

The Number

Which number to choose

The number is the personal touch. These are the most meaningful options.

The classic

The Jersey Number

The player's number. The whole family wears it in the stands, the all-time favorite.

With a story

The Birth Year

For the littlest ones, or when you want a number that doesn't change season to season.

The season

The Season Year

Great when more than one kid plays: a number that represents the whole family this season.

The tribute

A Number Being Honored

A favorite player's number, a mentor's, or someone the family wants to remember.

The lucky one

The Lucky Number

Sometimes that's all the reason you need. If it means something to you, it's the right one.

No number

Name Only

Totally valid. A clean design with just the last name or role looks great too.

Placement

Front or back?

The quick placement rule

Front: reads in everyday wear and photos, great for the design or the role (Baseball Mom). Back: a large name-and-number looks like a true jersey and stands out in the bleachers.

The most popular combo? Design or role on the front, name and number on the back. We can print both sides.

FAQ

Name & number questions

What name should I put on a custom shirt? +
It depends who's wearing it. For a parent or grandparent, a role reads best, Baseball Mom, Baseball Dad, Grandma, often paired with the player's last name. For a player, use the family last name the way it sits on the jersey. Team shirts usually carry the team name. When in doubt, the last name works for the whole family and keeps everyone matching.
What number should I use on a baseball shirt? +
The most popular choice is the player's jersey number, so the whole family wears it in the stands. Other meaningful options: the player's birth year, the season year, a number being honored, or simply a lucky number. If more than one kid plays, some families use the year instead of a single number.
Should the name go on the front or the back? +
Both work, and you can add the design on the front and the name and number on the back. A front design reads in everyday wear and photos; a back name-and-number looks like a true jersey and stands out in the bleachers. Many families do the design or role on the front and the player's name and number on the back.
Can the whole family use the same name and number? +
Yes, and most do. Pick the player's last name and number once and put it on Mom, Dad, siblings, and grandparents so the whole bleacher section matches. Each person can still get their own role or size.
How do I add the name and number? +
You can type the last name and number and pick the style and color when you order, with the design on the front and the name and number on the back.
