For lacrosse teams, one practice jersey can solve two problems at once: clear squad identification and a lighter equipment load. A reversible gives players two visible colorways in one garment, so coaches can switch sides for drills. Scrimmages, or small-sided games without asking everyone to carry a second top.
Custom reversibles lacrosse teams can use for practices and events combine team colors, logos, and player details with the flexibility of a two-sided design.
Start your team store to design custom reversibles for your roster.
The right choice depends on more than color. Fabric, construction, printing method, fit, minimum order, and turnaround all affect how well a reversible works across a season. Start with the basic design: what each side does, how the jersey differs from a standard pinnie, and why that distinction matters for your roster.
Reversible lacrosse jerseys put two team looks into one garment. Players flip the jersey inside out to switch between contrasting colors, making it easier to separate squads during drills, scrimmages, and practice games. That simple change gives a club a practical uniform solution without asking every player to carry two practice tops.
The main benefit is fast identification. One side can represent one group, while the opposite side represents the other. Lacrosse Ball Store describes this approach as a white side paired with a color choice, allowing teams to distinguish players quickly during practice. Elevation Sports similarly positions reversible pinnies as a way to get two looks from one piece, improving utility for clubs and travel teams.
That is different from a standard game-day jersey. A game jersey is usually designed around one finished team identity, with its graphics, numbers, and details visible on a single outside surface. A reversible is built for flexibility first. It may carry simpler markings on each side, and the goal is to help coaches organize practice efficiently rather than replace the team's primary competition uniform.
When shopping for reversibles, 1-ply and 2-ply refer to the jersey's construction. A 1-ply reversible uses one fabric layer designed to show a different color on each side. It is typically the more streamlined option for teams that prioritize light practice wear. A 2-ply version uses two layers, which can provide a more substantial feel and clearer separation between the two sides.
Neither construction is automatically right for every roster. Consider the intensity of use, the fit over protective equipment, and whether players need a lighter training layer or more coverage. Polyester mesh is common in practice pinnies because it supports airflow and durability during high-intensity sessions. For more detail on selecting materials, review these custom box lacrosse uniform materials.
Compared with basic offerings from Elevation Sports or Lacrosse Ball Store, the important buying question is not simply whether a jersey reverses. It is whether the two sides support your team's colors, identification system, fit, and practice demands. A well-planned custom reversible can maximize utility while reducing the number of pieces players need to carry.
The main difference is how the design gets onto the fabric. Uncommon Fit custom reversibles are fully sublimated, while many standard pinnies use screen-printed identifiers. That choice affects visual flexibility, long-term wear, and the kind of team order that makes sense.
Dye sublimation transfers the image into polyester fabric through heat, rather than laying a separate layer of ink on top. Polyester is particularly well suited to the process, which is widely used to transfer detailed images to synthetic textiles.1 With a fully sublimated reversible, the color, logo, number, and other artwork can be built into the garment design.
| Feature | Fully sublimated reversible | Standard screen-printed pinnie |
|---|---|---|
| Design range | Full-color layouts, complex graphics, logos, names, and detailed numbering | Usually limited to one or two print colors |
| Durability | Design is integrated into the polyester and will not peel or crack with heavy use | Printed identifiers sit on the surface and can show wear or fading sooner |
| Typical price | $25-$30 per Uncommon Fit reversible | Often about $18-$33, depending on style, quantity, and personalization |
| Best fit | Teams that want two coordinated looks and a lasting identity | Tryouts, short-term use, or simple squad identification |
Screen printing remains practical when the goal is basic identification at the lowest initial cost, especially for larger bulk orders. One supplier specifically promotes one- or two-color screen printing at quantities of 24 pieces or more.2 A simple number or high-contrast team mark may be all a tryout group needs. Standard screen-printed pinnies can also make sense when the garments will be used briefly or replaced regularly.
Choose sublimation when the reversible is part of your team's visual identity, not just a temporary practice layer. Sublimation supports complex graphics and detailed numbering that screen printing cannot reproduce as easily.3 The integrated finish also avoids the peeling and cracking associated with surface-applied decoration. At $25-$30, a custom reversible gives a club two coordinated looks in one garment without requiring a premium uniform purchase.

A strong reversible starts with decisions that balance movement, visibility, and team identity. Follow this process to create custom reversibles lacrosse players can use for practices, scrimmages, and secondary game settings.
Customization checklist:
Review the custom reversibles collection page before submitting your design direction.
Reversible lacrosse jerseys should fit close enough to stay in place during contact, but not so tightly that they restrict a player's shooting, checking, or sprinting motion. An athletic cut is designed for that balance. Because a reversible has two fabric layers rather than the single layer used in many standard pinnies, it can feel slightly more substantial across the chest and shoulders. Use the manufacturer's measurements, not a familiar shirt size, when placing a team order.
Youth and adult sizes are not interchangeable. A youth player may need extra room through the torso for shoulder pads. While an adult field or box player may prefer a longer body and broader arm opening. Measure the player's chest, waist, and preferred jersey length over the equipment they will wear underneath. If a player is between sizes, compare the measurement chart and choose the larger size when layering or expected growth matters. Avoid sizing up automatically across the entire roster, since excess fabric can catch during play.
Fabric choice affects how a jersey feels as much as the number on the size chart. Polyester mesh is used for airflow during high-intensity training, and breathable construction helps athletes stay comfortable and focused. It should also allow a full range of motion without binding through the shoulders or armholes. Uncommon Fit's Freshie fabric is a lightweight 4.4-ounce performance polyester option for teams that want a less bulky feel in a reversible jersey.
For a mixed roster, collect measurements in one shared spreadsheet, then group the order by verified size rather than by age or position. Have coaches confirm the largest and smallest measurements, and order one sample if the team is between cuts. A documented size list also makes reorders easier. See the ordering guide for custom team lacrosse uniforms before submitting final quantities.
Ordering custom reversibles should give your team a clear path from first idea to delivered uniforms. Uncommon Fit keeps that process practical, whether you are outfitting a new club, replacing worn practice tops, or setting up an ordering system that continues throughout the season.
Start by sharing your team name, sport, roster estimate, preferred colors, logo, sizes, and intended use. A team manager can also explain whether the order is for one season, a tournament, or recurring player purchases. Custom reversibles typically cost $25-$30 each, and new orders have a 10-piece minimum. That lower threshold is useful for smaller clubs and developing programs, especially when larger suppliers require 24 or more pieces.
Uncommon Fit prepares a visual mockup showing the reversible colorways, logo placement, and available numbering or name details. The design fee is $50, and it is credited toward the first jersey purchase. It is not a separate charge for free design help. Use the review stage to confirm that both sides are easy to identify during drills, scrimmages, and events. If you are still comparing materials or order structures, this guide to ordering custom team lacrosse uniforms can help frame the conversation.
Review the mockup with coaches and team administrators before approval. Check every color, logo, player number, name, and size requirement. Consolidating feedback into one revision round keeps the project moving and reduces the risk of correcting details after production begins. Once the team approves the final design and roster information, the order moves into production.
Standard production takes about four weeks from approval. That is shorter than the six-week or longer turnaround commonly quoted by competitors, but teams should still order ahead of their first practice or tournament. Uncommon Fit can also support re-orders with a one-piece minimum, so a late addition or replacement does not require rebuilding the entire team order.
For ongoing programs, a team store can simplify future purchases. Each player or family orders individually, there is no minimum per store order, and the team earns a commission. This avoids collecting sizes and payments from the entire roster every time someone needs a replacement, while keeping the team identity consistent.

Custom reversibles are practice jerseys with a different team color or design on each side. Players can flip the jersey to separate teams during drills, scrimmages, and conditioning without carrying two tops. A reversible gives your roster a consistent identity while reducing the number of pieces each player needs.
Start with your primary and secondary colors, then provide your team logo, preferred number style, and any player names or sponsor details. Full sublimation supports detailed graphics and unlimited colors, while performance polyester mesh keeps the garment breathable for training. Uncommon Fit can prepare a design mockup for a $50 fee, which is credited toward the first jersey purchase.
That depends on the job. Standard screen-printed pinnies work well when you need simple team identification for tryouts or large groups. A sublimated reversible is the stronger choice when you want two coordinated looks, detailed graphics, individual numbering, and a more durable design for repeated use. Reversibles typically cost $25-$30 per piece through Uncommon Fit.
New orders have a 10-piece minimum, so teams can outfit a roster without committing to a large surplus. Reorders have a one-piece minimum, which helps when a player joins, replaces a size, or needs an additional top. Teams can also use a hosted store so families order individually and the team receives a commission.
Standard production takes about four weeks after the design is approved. Build in additional time for collecting sizes, reviewing the mockup, and delivery before your first practice or tournament. Contact Uncommon Fit early with your colors, logo, roster size, and deadline so the order can be planned accurately.
A clear two-sided design can help your team move from practice to scrimmage with a consistent look and an easier ordering process. When you are ready to plan colors, logos, names, and numbers, design your team's custom reversibles with Uncommon Fit.
