Custom roller hockey team uniforms for leagues and rec programs are available through Bear Grips Pro Shops with no minimum order. A coordinated uniform set, from the performance tee that serves as the practice jersey through to the athletic shorts and warm-up hoodie, is available in your team colors, printed in the US, and shipped in about a week. Here is how to build a complete roller hockey uniform program and what each layer is used for at the rink.
A roller hockey uniform in the recreational and club league context has three functional layers: the active playing shirt, the shorts or pants worn during play, and the warm-up layer worn before and after. Here is how Bear Grips Pro Shops covers each one:
Playing shirt (the jersey equivalent): The Sport-Tek Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee is the right foundation. Lightweight, breathable, and available in a wide color range for team matching. Custom printed with the team name, logo, or number on the front and back. This is the visible identifier for players on the rink floor.
Athletic shorts: The Sport-Tek Athletic 7-Inch Mesh Shorts in the team color are the standard rec-league hockey short. Lightweight mesh construction with an elastic waist, available in most team color palettes. Not a roller hockey pant with padding, but appropriate for the rink floor at the recreational level where players are responsible for sourcing their own protective equipment separately.
Warm-up hoodie or crewneck: The Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie or the Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt are the most common warm-up layer choices for roller hockey teams. Worn at the bench, between periods, and going to and from the rink. This is where the team identity lives when players are off skates.
The physical protective equipment (elbow pads, shin guards, gloves, helmet, roller hockey pants with built-in protection) are sourced separately from a hockey equipment retailer. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles the apparel layer: what the team looks like, not the safety equipment underneath.
Roller hockey leagues that run multiple teams (most recreational leagues have four to twelve teams) benefit from a centralized uniform approach where each team has its own Pro Shop but all shops run through the same platform. This gives the league director visibility into what every team is ordering and creates a consistent quality standard across the league without requiring a central procurement effort.
The standard league-wide setup:
For a league that runs eight teams of 15 players each (120 players total), this model generates 120 individual gear transactions per season with zero league-level logistics. Each team captain manages their own shop and the league director manages the league branding standards without running a fulfillment operation.
The affiliate model adds a second revenue layer: if the league director refers the team captains to the platform, they earn affiliate commissions on each captain's paid plan subscription.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Color coordination for roller hockey uniforms is simpler than it appears because the product catalog has consistent color options across the tee, shorts, and hoodie categories. Here is how to match effectively:
Pick a primary color for the jersey (tee). This is the color that reads on the rink. Roller hockey leagues typically use high-contrast color combinations to distinguish teams in fast play: red, blue, black, white, and green are the most common primaries.
Match shorts to the jersey or go black. Black shorts work with every primary jersey color and eliminate the need to match exactly. Matching shorts in the primary jersey color create a monochromatic look that reads as premium but requires the exact color to be available in both the tee and shorts lines (which it usually is for standard colors).
Use the secondary color on the hoodie or as an accent. If the team plays in red jerseys, the warm-up hoodie in navy or black with a red logo print creates a two-color identity without requiring three separate colors to coordinate.
Leagues that run home and away color schemes should pick two shirts (one light, one dark) in the same product line. A white performance tee with the team design and a black performance tee with the same design covers home and away scenarios without requiring a separate design or product setup.
Team captains have two practical methods for uniform ordering at Bear Grips Pro Shops.
The self-order model: Set up the shop with the team uniform products, share the link with players, and let each player order their own gear. This eliminates size collection, payment coordination, and distribution logistics. Players receive gear at their home in their size. The captain earns the margin on every sale (or sets the price at cost for zero-margin team access).
The bulk-order model: The captain collects sizes from the roster (a quick Google Form or team group chat poll handles this efficiently), logs into the shop, and places a single order for all uniform pieces across all sizes. Everything ships to the captain's address and gets distributed at the next rink session. This model works well for organized travel teams and competitive programs where the captain has an established management workflow.
For the self-order model, the most effective prompt to players is specific: "Order your jersey and shorts by [date] so you have gear for our first game." A deadline with a specific call to action drives 2-3x more orders than an open-ended "check out the shop" message.
For the bulk-order model, order at least 12 days before the first game. Production takes 3-5 business days, shipping adds 2-4 more, and the captain needs at least one rink session buffer to handle any sizing issues before game day.
Here is what a full roller hockey uniform set costs at Bear Grips Pro Shops pricing, with the typical margin range for team captains or league directors who want to run a revenue-positive shop:
| Item | Base (Free Plan) | Base (VIP Plan) | Suggested Retail | Margin (VIP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Tee (jersey) | $28.88 | $23.86 | $34.99 | $11.13 |
| Athletic 7" Mesh Shorts | $32.92 | $26.88 | $37.99 | $11.11 |
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | $44.94 | $36.88 | $49.99 | $13.11 |
At VIP pricing, a player who purchases all three pieces pays roughly $123 in retail and generates $35 in margin for the team captain's shop. At a roster of 15 players with a 70% purchase rate on the full kit, the team captain earns approximately $368 per season in apparel margin with no inventory management.
That is before the VIP plan cost ($59/month) is factored in. For a team captain running one team of 15 players, the self-service VIP plan pays for itself in about 2 months of active selling. For a league director managing multiple team shops, the math scales significantly.
