Bear Grips Pro ShopsYouth Basketball League Jerseys with Name and Number
- Player name and number on the back, customized per family at checkout.
- No setup fee for additional names. No extra cost per character.
- Number fonts and arc styles handled by the print partner.
- Same SKU prints every player on the team in one workflow.
The standard youth basketball jersey carries the player number on the back (8 to 10 inches), the last name in a smaller arc above (2 to 3 inches), and the team or league logo on the front chest. At Pro Shops, every jersey is customized per family at checkout. No setup fee per name, no extra cost per character, no bulk-order coordination. Each family enters the child name and number and the print partner handles the rest.
How Per-Player Customization Works
The league commissioner builds the jersey SKU once with two custom fields: Player Last Name (free text) and Player Number (number 00 through 99). At checkout the family enters their child information. The print partner pulls the entered values into the back print artwork and prints each jersey individually. Each shirt ships to that family. No back-and-forth, no spreadsheet of names, no commissioner approval step.
Number Fonts and Style Options
- Block. The default and most readable from a distance. Standard for youth leagues.
- Tackle Twill style. Heavier serif for a more traditional look. Print partner renders this as a graphic in the same back placement.
- Modern outline. Outline-only numbers (no fill) for a contemporary feel.
- Two-color number. Outer color around an inner color. Works on darker jerseys where contrast matters.
Name Arc Above the Number
The standard youth jersey has the player last name in an arc above the number. About 2 to 3 inches tall, curved up at the ends. Some leagues drop the name and run a number-only jersey to keep print cost down and reduce checkout friction. Others use the team name across the back instead of the player name (more common at K-2). The Pro Shops storefront supports any of the three layouts as different SKUs.
No Setup Fee Math
| Provider | Setup Fee Per Name | 50-Jersey Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional screen printer | $5 to $12 per name | $250 to $600 in setup alone |
| Custom Ink for league | Often $4 to $8 per name | $200 to $400 |
| Pro Shops | $0 | $0 setup |
Setup fee elimination is one of the larger swings for a youth league with 50+ players ordering individual names.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Are nicknames allowed instead of last names?
Yes. The custom field is free text. The family enters whatever name they want. Most leagues prefer last names for consistency.
What number range is allowed?
Most youth leagues run 00 to 99. Some leagues have rules about specific numbers (no 1, no 99). The Pro Shops field accepts any 0-99 value. The league sets its own roster rule.
Can the number font change per team in a league?
Yes. Each team SKU can run a different number font, so the league looks varied across the bracket. Some leagues lock to one font across the whole league for visual unity.
