Custom roller hockey jerseys with no minimum order are available through Bear Grips Pro Shops. A team of four players can get four custom team shirts at the same base price as a team of 40. No minimum, no setup fee, no artwork charge, no bulk commitment. For recreational leagues and beer-league teams searching for cheap roller hockey jerseys that still look like real team gear, here is the honest breakdown of what it costs, what you get, and how the ordering process works.
Traditional roller hockey jersey sourcing has three cost problems: high per-unit price, minimum order requirements, and long turnaround times. A sublimated hockey jersey from a traditional supplier typically costs $45-$85 per unit, requires a minimum of 6-12 pieces, and takes 3-4 weeks to deliver. For a recreational beer-league team that loses two players to season conflicts and gains one new player each fall, that model never quite fits the actual team structure.
The no-minimum model at Bear Grips Pro Shops addresses all three problems:
The trade-off is print coverage: a custom performance tee uses front and back printing zones, not all-over sublimation. For recreational and casual competitive leagues, the result looks like a real team jersey from 10 feet away, which is the relevant distance at the rink.
Here is the full cost picture for a custom roller hockey jersey through Bear Grips Pro Shops, compared to a traditional supplier:
| Cost Factor | Bear Grips Pro Shops (VIP) | Traditional Jersey Supplier |
|---|---|---|
| Per-unit base cost | $23.86 (performance tee) | $45-$85 (sublimated jersey) |
| Setup / artwork fee | $0 | $0-$75 typical |
| Minimum order | None | 6-12 pieces |
| Shipping | Free to customer | Varies, often $8-$25 |
| Turnaround | About 1 week | 2-4 weeks |
| Per-unit at 6 pieces | $23.86 x 6 = $143.16 total | $45 x 6 = $270 minimum |
At 6 pieces (the typical minimum for a traditional supplier), Bear Grips Pro Shops is approximately 47% cheaper in total cost without any minimum overage, artwork fees, or shipping add-ons.
The VIP plan costs $59/month. For a team captain who sets up the shop at the start of the season and earns $10/shirt on player orders, recovering the $59 plan cost requires 6 shirt sales. A team of 10 players buying one shirt each covers the plan cost for the month and generates $40 in additional margin.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Not every roller hockey program benefits equally from the no-minimum model. Here is who it works best for:
Recreational and beer-league teams: The primary audience. Teams with 8-20 players who do not want to commit to a sublimated jersey minimum because the roster changes every season. No-minimum ordering means the team always has the right quantity for the current roster without overpaying for extras.
Small competitive programs: Youth competitive programs with fewer than 12 registered players who need real team gear for tournaments. The no-minimum model delivers professional-looking team shirts without requiring a 12-piece minimum at a 4-player team's level.
New leagues and startup programs: A roller hockey program in its first season often does not know its exact enrollment until the week before the first game. No-minimum ordering allows the league organizer to run a jersey order at exact roster size rather than guessing and over-ordering.
Replacement orders: A player who lost their jersey or a new player joining mid-season can order one jersey at the same base price as the original team order. No coordination with the rest of the team required.
Who it works less well for: highly competitive programs that require sanctioned jersey construction with specific protection standards and all-over sublimated printing. For those programs, the sublimated jersey supplier is the right choice for game jerseys, and Bear Grips Pro Shops handles the practice, warm-up, and fan apparel.
Getting a good result on a custom roller hockey jersey at the lower price point requires a few specific choices:
Use a high-resolution logo file. A blurry or low-resolution logo at a higher price still prints blurry. The quality of the print is bounded by the quality of the artwork file. Vector (AI, EPS, SVG) or high-resolution PNG (at least 300 DPI at print size) gives the cleanest result.
Pick a dark shirt with a high-contrast logo. Dark performance shirts (black, navy, dark red) with white or light-colored logos photograph dramatically better in typical rink lighting than light shirts with dark logos. The contrast makes the jersey pop in team photos and reads clearly from the stands.
Add a number on the back if budget allows. Back printing with a large player number converts a team tee into something that feels like a real jersey. The marginal cost of back printing is worth it for teams that want the full jersey look without the jersey price.
Order consistently across the roster. Mixing shirt styles across the team (some players in the performance tee, others in a different fabric) creates a visual mismatch that undermines the professional look. Pick one shirt style and run it consistently for the whole team.

No minimum, no setup fee, no bulk requirement. Get your team's jerseys in about a week at a fraction of the sublimated price.
Start FreeYes. Bear Grips Pro Shops has no minimum order on any product. A team of three players can order three custom performance jerseys at the same base price as a team of 30.
At quantities under 24 pieces, yes. The total cost at Bear Grips Pro Shops (no setup fee, no artwork fee, free shipping, no minimum overage) is typically 40-60% lower than a sublimated jersey supplier at the same quantity for a recreational league.
The Sport-Tek Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee on the VIP plan starts at $23.86 base cost. At a $10 margin, players pay about $33.86 for a custom performance jersey with the team logo, name, and optional number.
From a distance, yes. Custom printed performance tees with a high-resolution logo and a number on the back look like a real team jersey in rink photos and on the floor. For extreme close-up or sanctioned competition with specific jersey requirements, sublimated jerseys are the right choice.
