Who’s actually in charge of your club’s kit design?
A new season is coming up. Launch dates are fixed. First drafts are in the works.
But who takes care of the details?
- What if your kit supplier only provides the base jersey, but not the creative elements?
- What if your sponsor logo doesn’t fit the jersey layout?
- What if your numbers don’t comply with league regulations?
- What if no one on your team knows how to bring everything together – visually and technically?
At dekoGraphics, we help clubs like yours bridge the gap between creative vision and production reality.
Whether you’re lacking a designer or just want a second opinion, our in-house team supports you from concept to application.
In this article, you’ll learn how our modular design service turns standard kits into custom statements – and why it works even if you’re not a pro club.
Our Full-Service Design Support – From Concept to Application
What many don’t know: At dekoGraphics, we don’t just supply heat transfers – we help shape your entire kit. From early drafts to production-ready artwork, we advise clubs at every step. Our team understands what’s technically possible – and how to make it look great on fabric.
We’ve supported national teams and grassroots clubs alike, always with the same goal: turning ideas into iconic jerseys.
Our Design Services – Modular and Made to Fit

Jersey Design Support: Turn Standard Kits into Unique Statements
Even off-the-shelf kits can look custom – with the right design approach.- Creative support for home, away or third kits
- Graphic integration (e.g. tone-on-tone symbols, sleeve elements, inside-neck details)
- Mockups showing placements on real templates
- Designed to match your textile colour, structure and fit
Add Meaning to Standard Kits with Smart Design Additions
Many clubs receive off-the-shelf jerseys from their kit supplier – identical to amateur gear.
But with the right design, even standard jerseys become a statement piece.
We create large-format graphic elements that can be applied using tone-on-tone effects, sublimation, DTG printing or debossing. Whether it's your club motto, a special pattern or crest integration – it becomes part of the jersey, not just placed on top.
The result? A standard base with a truly custom look.

✅ When Does Our Design Service Make the Most Sense?
If any of these apply, our support could be a game-changer:
- You don’t have an in-house designer
- You want more than a standard template kit

- You’re unsure how to execute your idea technically
- Or you simply want a creative second opinion

Nothing. It’s part of our service.
If you order heat transfers from us, the design support comes at no extra charge – fonts, visuals, mockups, layouts. Because for us, proper service means doing things right – not selling extras.
Not a pro club? No problem.
It’s not about your league – it’s about your ambition.
Our design service is available to ambitious clubs at any level – from international teams to grassroots innovators. If you're serious about your kit and need at least 500 pieces, we’re here to help.

Final word: You Don’t Need a Finished Idea – Just the Right Partner.
Bringing a jersey concept to life is tough without a designer or technical partner – and most clubs don’t have both. We’ve helped clubs at every level develop concepts that are production-ready and true to their identity.
Have an idea, sketch, or just a feeling?
Let’s talk – and turn it into something your fans are proud to wear.
At dekoGraphics, we don’t just provide logos. We help your kit tell your story – from first draft to final detail.
