Beat the Rush: Why November is the Critical Month to Order Your Spring Season Jerseys
Introduction
For many team managers, the focus is on the holidays. However, veteran coaches know that November is the unspoken deadline for a stress-free Spring Season. Whether you are managing a soccer club, a baseball league, or a track team, waiting until January to order custom uniforms is a risky gamble. Here is why acting now, in late November, is the smartest move you can make for your team.
Reason 1: Avoiding the "January Manufacturing Bottleneck"
Every year, thousands of teams wait until the New Year to place orders. This causes a massive spike in demand across the entire custom apparel industry in January and February, often extending standard lead times. By submitting your order in November, your jerseys enter production before the queue explodes.
- The Advantage: You get standard production times (no rush fees) and your order receives the dedicated attention it deserves without fighting for factory capacity.
Reason 2: Navigating Holiday Logistics
Custom manufacturing involves shipping—often international. December is historically the busiest month for global logistics, which can lead to unpredictable shipping delays. Furthermore, factory closures during winter holidays can pause production.
- The Strategy: Ordering now ensures your goods are either shipped before the peak holiday crunch or are first in line immediately after, guaranteeing arrival well before your first practice session.

Reason 3: Time for Sizing Verification
When you order early, you buy yourself a safety net. If a sample arrives and the fit isn't perfect, or if a new player joins the roster late, ordering in November gives you a comfortable buffer to make adjustments or add supplementary orders without panic.
- The Result: No players wearing ill-fitting jerseys on opening day. You have time to get it 100% right.
