A custom pinstripe baseball jersey has a light body with fine vertical stripes and a solid trim colour at the collar and placket, finished with your logo, names and numbers. It is the most traditional baseball look there is. Velocity Wear makes pinstripe jerseys and matching shorts in polyester mesh from 50 pieces per design, in 10–15 working days from artwork approval.
Why choose a pinstripe baseball jersey?
Pinstripes say baseball more directly than any other pattern. They also make a team look put together, because the stripe colour, the trim and the lettering all tie back to one another. That is why the look is popular beyond the field too: heritage clothing labels, bars and restaurants, company softball days and wedding parties all use it because it reads as classic without needing explanation. The trade-off is that a pinstripe needs a little more design discipline than a solid jersey, which the rest of this guide covers.
Which colours work for pinstripes?
Keep the body light and the stripes and trim dark, and use the same colour for both. A cream or white body with navy stripes and navy trim is the classic, and it is the one on the right of our range sheet. The contrast is what makes the stripes visible from a distance; two mid-tone colours tend to blur into one.
| Body | Stripes and trim | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Cream | Navy | The traditional look, warm and slightly vintage |
| White | Navy or black | Crisp and sharp, strongest contrast |
| Grey | Navy or red | The classic road-kit alternative |
| Cream | Maroon or forest green | Heritage and collegiate feel |

Where should the logo go on a pinstripe jersey?
Across the chest, in the trim colour, is the traditional answer: a team name in script or block letters, or a crest on the left chest. Keep the lettering bold enough to stand clear of the stripes, because thin letters get lost in the pattern. On the back, a large number in the trim colour, with the name above it if you want names, is easy to read and easy to match. A small logo on the sleeve finishes it.
For the method, embroidery suits a chest crest and gives a raised, stitched finish, and screen printing gives large numbers a clean solid edge. Sublimation can print the whole design, stripes included, into light polyester, which suits intricate patterns. Our sublimation printing and embroidery pages explain each method, and the quote confirms which suits your colours.
What do you pair with a pinstripe jersey?
Shorts or trousers in the same pinstripe make a full uniform with a strong identity. Solid shorts in the trim colour are the other option and keep the stripes as the focus. Our range includes matching pinstripe mesh shorts, and the baseball uniform guide explains how to specify a full set. For a two-kit season, a pinstripe home kit and a solid navy away kit is an easy pairing because the crest and numbers carry across.
How do you order custom pinstripe jerseys?
Send the body, stripe and trim colours, your logo, the quantity with a size split, and a list of names and numbers if you are using them. The minimum is 50 pieces per design, and names, numbers and sizes can all vary inside it. You will get a proof showing the stripe, the lettering and the placement before production. A sample costs £150 including shipping and is credited against the bulk order, which is worth it when the exact cream or navy matters. The full specification is on our baseball jerseys and shorts range, and the buyer's guide covers the other two styles.
