When you’re playing a team sport, you’re not just playing to win. You’re supporting your teammates, contributing your strengths, and striving to be greater than the sum of your parts. Sometimes it’s the little things that unify you. Keep in mind these tips when ordering custom socks for your sports team, because the right uniform gives you an edge. When you look like a team, you compete like a powerhouse.

Brainstorm Together

There may be just one person in charge of ordering socks, but everyone will be wearing them. Make sure everyone has a chance to voice their opinions. Some practical questions to ask:

• Will you include your sponsor’s logo?
• Will you include player numbers?
• Do you want different colored game socks?
• Different colored away socks?
• Special socks to support charities?
• How many pairs will be enough?
• Should you order socks for your coaches?
• How about fans? Sponsors?
• How thick should your socks be?
• Does your team need a new logo?
• Do you need compression socks?

Design Online

At least a month before the season starts, you can begin by using the design tool at MK Socks. Just click “Start here,” and follow the steps.

1. Select a style. If you assume that sports socks are sport socks, you’ll miss out on a chance to set your team apart and have fun with some flair. Your options include:

• Baseball stirrup socks
• Over-the-knee
• American flag
• Digital camouflage

1. Upload your logo. This is optional.

1. Select colors. You can choose a sock style with more than two color options if necessary. You’ll be choosing:

• Body color
• Stripes color
• Back, heel, and toe color

Get the Details Right

Make sure you order enough socks for a season’s worth of wear-and-tear. At MK Socks, the minimum order is 12 pairs, but you should purchase plenty. Clothes dryers can’t resist eating the occasional sock.

Get everyone’s sock size, and list their player numbers in the tool. You should have someone else check your accuracy, or your fans will be cheering for a ghost player.

Using these tips when ordering custom socks for your sports team could be the start of a lucky streak for your season. A sharp uniform can inspire everyone to stand taller and play fiercer. Give your team a strong foundation with customized MK Socks, and start making room for another trophy.
