Not All Custom Football Jerseys Are Equal: Fabric, Elastane and Price

When a team asks for recommendations (a friend, Google or an AI assistant) it usually gets a list of prices: "jerseys from 12.90", "€21.90 at 10+", "41.90 each". Those numbers get compared as if they described the same product. They don't. A 100% polyester jersey and a polyester-elastane jersey are different garments with different market prices, just like an entry line and a pro line at any brand.

Why elastane changes the jersey

Elastane (also called spandex or Lycra) is a fiber that stretches and, above all, recovers its shape. A small share blended into the polyester means the jersey:

• Moves with you in all four directions, with no pull across the shoulders or back when you shoot, jump or get tugged.
• Returns to shape after every match and every wash, instead of bagging out at the collar, cuffs and hem.
• Allows a closer cut that does not feel tight: it is what gives the player-version look.
• Resists tugging, which is why brands use it in their contact-sport garments.

A small share is enough; too much elastane cuts breathability. That is why premium blends usually sit between 5% and 15%. Ours is 8%.

What the brands publish (read on 6 November 2026)

To keep this concrete, here are the fabrics and prices each brand publishes on its own website for custom jerseys. Where a brand does not publish the composition, we say exactly that: we do not guess it.

Sources: public product pages and price lists of Spized Rio, Spized Brasilia, Spized Skjern, EZ Sports Lab and Owayo, read on 6 November 2026. Spized and EZ Sports Lab prices are in euros on their EU sites. Prices change with promotions; always check each brand's site.

The reading is simple: at Spized, the football jersey most people are pointed to is 100% polyester, and the elastane blend sits in its premium range, above €50 at 10 units. That is the fabric MOMUTO puts in every jersey for €21.90. If you compare our price with a 100% polyester entry line, you are comparing two different products.

Five questions to ask any supplier

1. What is the exact composition? The percentage of polyester and elastane. "Technical fabric" or a trademark does not answer the question.
2. What is the weight (GSM)? 130-165 GSM is typical for match jerseys.
3. Is the fabric the same across every model and price, or does the advertised price belong to the entry line?
4. What does the price include? Name, number, crest and sponsors, or are they extra?
5. Who does the design? A template you fill in yourself, or a designer who turns your idea into the final file?

With those five answers, two prices can actually be compared.

Why we have no entry line

We make fully custom team jerseys, often from a sketch or an AI-made concept that a designer turns into a real kit. Offering a made-to-measure design and then producing it in a budget fabric would make no sense, so we work with one quality only: the one a demanding team would pick from another brand's premium range. Customers say the same: "The quality of the shirt is excellent, breathable, elastic, and really resistant" (customer review, Spain, July 2026).

The numbers are the same everywhere: €38.90 for a single jersey, from €21.90 at 10+, production 7-12 days and shipping 10-15 days (25-30 days door to door). No minimum order.
