Quick Answer
To order custom jersey lettering, choose the Custom Lettering option when purchasing a Prevelo jersey, specify the text you want, and if ordering separately, apply the decals carefully following the steps below.
Why Personalize Your Child's Jersey?
Personalizing your child's bike jersey with their name not only adds a fun, unique touch but also helps them feel a sense of ownership and pride. It can also be practical: if your child rides with a group or at a camp, a name on the jersey makes it easy for coaches and friends to identify them.
Prevelo offers two ways to add lettering: the Custom Jersey Lettering option (add-on at checkout) and the Rider's Name Lettering decal set, which can be ordered separately and applied at home. Both use durable vinyl, but the application process differs slightly.
Step-by-Step: How to Order and Apply Custom Jersey Lettering
- Choose Your Lettering Option: Decide between adding Custom Jersey Lettering at checkout (applied by Prevelo) or ordering the Rider's Name Lettering decal set separately. If you want the lettering pre-applied, select the Custom Lettering option when configuring your jersey. Check that the lettering option is available for the jersey size you need.
- Specify the Text: When prompted, enter the exact name or text you want on the jersey. Double-check spelling and capitalization—this is what will appear on the final product. Common mistake: typos in the name. Review your entry carefully before confirming.
- Complete Your Order: Proceed through checkout, ensuring your shipping address and contact details are correct. If you ordered the decal set separately, it will ship to you for at-home application. Keep your order confirmation email for reference.
- Apply the Decal (If Ordered Separately): Clean the jersey area where you'll place the decal, peel the backing, and press the decal firmly onto the fabric. Smooth out any air bubbles with your fingers or a credit card. Common mistake: applying on a wrinkled or damp jersey. Make sure the fabric is smooth and dry.
- Cure and Care: After applying, wait at least 24 hours before washing the jersey. When washing, turn it inside out and use cold water to protect the decal. Avoid ironing directly over the decal; heat can damage the vinyl.
Product Options for Personalization
-
Custom Jersey Lettering: Custom Jersey Lettering is a selectable customization option for adding personalized lettering to a jersey, chosen when placing your order. This option is ideal if you want the lettering applied by Prevelo before shipping, ensuring a professional finish.

Rider's Name Lettering: Rider's Name Lettering comes with two decals (one for each side), custom cut from 2.5 mil vinyl, and can be applied easily if ordered separately. This is a cost-effective choice if you're comfortable applying the decals yourself and want the flexibility to remove them later for hand-me-downs.
