Custom Name & Number Printing on Reps Jerseys
Want your own name on the back, or a specific player and number? Most reps football jerseys can be customised with name-and-number printing and league patches. Here's how it works through Kakobuy and what to check before you approve.
Can you customise a reps jersey?
Yes — most jersey listings offer custom name-and-number printing as an option. When you order, you choose blank, a specific player's name and number, or your own. Some sellers also offer league and competition patches as add-ons. A few listings are blank-only, so check the options on the specific jersey listing before ordering.
How to order custom printing
- Open the jersey and look for the name/number and patch options in the listing.
- Enter the name, number, and select any patches (e.g. league or Champions League).
- Pick your size and version, then submit the order.
- When the QC photo arrives, check the printing before approving.
Player version vs fan version printing
On player version kits the printing is usually heat-pressed to match the on-pitch look, while fan version often uses standard flock or printed lettering. Both look good; player-version printing sits flatter and is closer to authentic. See the full player vs fan version comparison.
Costs and patches
- Name & number: typically a few dollars on top of the item price.
- League / competition patches: a small extra, where offered.
- Official-style fonts: good sellers match the correct league font for the season — check the QC photo to confirm.
Durability and care
Good printing lasts well if you treat it kindly: wash inside out, cold, on a gentle cycle, and air-dry rather than tumble-dry. Avoid ironing directly over the lettering. Quality varies by seller, so inspect the font and edges in your QC photo first.
One thing to know about returns
Custom-printed jerseys are personalised, so returns are more limited than for blank kits. That makes the QC check even more important — confirm the name, number, spelling and patches are correct before you approve and pay freight.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add a custom name and number to a reps jersey?
Yes, on most listings. Many sellers offer custom name-and-number printing, and you specify the name, number and (where relevant) the patches when you order. Some listings are blank-only, so check the listing options before ordering if customisation matters to you.
Does custom printing cost extra?
Usually a small amount. Custom name-and-number printing typically adds a few dollars to the item price, and league or competition patches may add a little more. The exact cost shows in the listing options.
Can I get league or Champions League patches?
Often yes. Many sellers offer domestic league badges and competition patches (such as Champions League sleeve patches) as add-ons. Availability depends on the kit and seller, so check the listing options.
Is the custom printing durable?
Quality varies by seller, but good printing holds up well to washing if you wash the jersey inside out, cold, and air-dry it. Check the name and number font and edges in your QC photo before approving.
Can I return a custom-printed jersey?
Custom-printed items are personalised, so returns are more limited than for blank jerseys — another reason to check the QC photo carefully before you approve. If the printing is clearly defective, raise it at the QC stage.
