Training bibs do one job well: they split a session into teams without anyone swapping shirts. A bib in your own colours, carrying your club name, does that job and makes the kit bag look like part of the club rather than a bundle from a catalogue. CentralCustom decorates training bibs for UK clubs, schools and coaching groups.
Quick answer: CentralCustom decorates custom training bibs for football, rugby and multi-sport sessions, with your club name, crest, squad numbers or sponsor logo. Every order starts with a free digital proof, and a quote comes back within one working day. Bibs typically arrive 7–14 working days after you approve the proof. Tell us how many you need, the sizes and your colours, and we will price it.
Why choose CentralCustom for training bibs
- They match your kit. We already decorate match kit, tracksuits and training tops, so bibs can pick up the same colours, crest and sponsor placement as the rest of your range.
- Proof before anything is made. You see the layout, colours and numbering on screen and approve it before production starts.
- Honest method advice. We choose the decoration method for the fabric in front of us rather than forcing one process onto everything, and we will tell you honestly if a design will not stay legible at bib size.
- One supplier for the whole squad. Bibs, training wear and club tracksuits and custom football team kits can all be quoted together, so colours stay consistent from the training pitch to matchday.
What can go on a training bib
Most clubs ask for some combination of the following:
- Club name or crest on the front or back
- Squad numbers, or a single number per bib so coaches can call players by number
- A sponsor logo, if a local business already supports the club
- A team or age-group name such as “U12s” or “Academy”
- Position letters for sports that use them (see our guide to netball bibs, letters and sizes)
Keep artwork simple. A bib is a large, flat garment seen from a distance, so bold shapes and short text read far better than fine detail.
Who orders custom bibs
- Grassroots and youth football clubs running two or three groups per session
- Schools and PE departments who want bibs that look like the school, not like lost property
- Rugby, hockey, basketball and multi-sport clubs that mix squads in training games
- Coaching companies, holiday camps and academies with several coaches and a shared kit bag
- Five-a-side leagues and social teams who want something more distinctive than a plain colour
How many bibs does a team need?
Count the largest session you realistically run, then work backwards. If you split into two teams for a small-sided game, you need one colour per team. If you want a neutral group or a third team rotating in, add a third colour. Add a few spares for late arrivals and the ones that vanish into the boot of someone’s car. Order junior and adult sizes separately if you coach mixed age groups, and tell us the age range so we can advise on fit.

Training bibs FAQ
What are training bibs used for? They mark teams or roles during training sessions, small-sided games and drills, so players can be told apart quickly without changing shirts.
Can I get my club name and sponsor logo on the bibs? Yes. Send us your crest and any sponsor artwork and we will place them on the proof. A clear, high-resolution logo gives the best result.
Can the bibs be numbered? Yes. Numbers can be added so each player has their own, or each team has a numbered set. Tell us the number range when you ask for a quote.
How long do custom bibs take? Typically 7–14 working days from proof approval. Your quote will confirm timing for your order.
Do you make bibs for netball and other sports? Yes. Netball clubs usually need position letters, which we cover in our netball bibs guide. For rugby, hockey, basketball or multi-sport sets, tell us what you need and we will confirm on your quote.
