Custom jerseys are a fun way to take spirit wear beyond the standard T-shirt or sweatshirt. With fully customizable designs, they can be created around your school, team, organization or event and made to feel completely unique. At Behind Your Design, we can customize jerseys with your colors, logos, graphics, names, numbers and more. Full-color dye sublimation gives you plenty of freedom to create bold designs across the entire jersey while keeping the finished piece comfortable and wearable. We’ve created several custom jersey styles for our clients, including football and baseball jerseys for Michigan State University Fall Fest. Each offered a different look while giving MSU a memorable piece of custom spirit wear that still felt true to their brand.

It was a great day of connecting with so many wonderful people including current customers, new faces and plenty of potential future clients from departments and organizations across campus. One of the biggest hits at our booth was our T-shirt bags , which definitely got people talking. We also had lots of interest in the fully sublimated, two-sided umbrella we created for the CRIM Fitness Foundation. It was a great example of how a promotional product can go beyond simply adding a logo and become something truly custom and memorable.

September 29, 2026
There’s something special about taking the time to recognize the people who support your business throughout the year. Whether you’re thanking loyal clients or celebrating your employees, a thoughtful holiday gift is a simple way to show your appreciation. We love working with Hackney Jones Wealth Management , and this year, we’re helping their team get an early start on their holiday client gifts. Together, we curated several gift package options so they can choose something that feels just right for each recipient. Their custom gifts include cappuccino/soup mugs, stemless wine glasses, blankets and travel mugs. Each item was chosen with quality and function in mind because a great branded gift doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes the most appreciated gifts are simply the ones people will use again and again.
