Animal Team Names FAQ

How do we pick an animal team name?

Pick an animal that fits your team’s style, then add a fun word that starts with the same letter, like Cheeky Cheetahs or Zany Zebras. Alliteration makes a name easy to remember and fun to cheer.

Can we add an animal mascot to our shirts?

Yes. The Design Lab has animal clip art you can add next to the team name, or you can upload your own artwork.

Can we add player names and numbers?

Yes. A common layout is the team name on the front and each player’s name and number on the back.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
