In both professional and amateur hockey, personalization of equipment and gear is increasingly popular, enhancing both performance and personal expression. Players often customize their gear, from hockey sticks and gloves to jerseys and bags, incorporating personal touches and team branding.

Creating custom-printed hockey bags is a great way to showcase team spirit, professionalism, and personal style. Similarly, stickers and decals offer a versatile and removable solution for showcasing team spirit, personal style, or even sponsorship.

Even small touches like the color of your tape or laces can help you stand out on the ice or show off your support for different causes.

Logo Design on Hockey Bags

Custom bags are a great way to showcase team spirit, personal style, or brand identity. Lowry Sports offers a range of options for customizing bags, which can include adding logos, text, and other designs. 

Details like printing the team logo on both sides of each player’s hockey bag along with the team motto or slogan beneath the logo and the player’s name or number on the end of each end is a sure way to inspire team pride and a professional feel.

If you sponsor a team, you can add your company logo to the smaller front or side pockets of player bags, giving your brand some visibility as well.

The cost of custom printing for hockey bags can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of bag, the complexity of the design, the number of colors used in the printing, and the quantity of bags being customized.

For team orders or larger quantities, the price per bag typically decreases, making it a more affordable option per unit. To add simple logos and other details for a large order, you might find that adding decoration to the bags won’t dramatically increase the overall cost. It’s worth it to at least ask for a quote.

Stickers and Decals

Stickers and decals are a popular and easy way to personalize and brand hockey equipment, bags, and even apparel. They offer a versatile and removable solution for showcasing team spirit, personal style, or even sponsorship.

Ensure the surface where the sticker or decal will be applied is clean and dry. This helps in achieving better adhesion and longevity.

Choose a placement that maximizes visibility and complements the item’s design. For example, on a helmet, place the decal on the side or front where it is most visible. On hockey sticks, decals near the handle or on the shaft can add a personal touch without interfering with the grip.

For high-contact items like sticks and helmets, consider using a clear sealant over the decal to protect it from wear and tear.

Types of Stickers and Decals for Hockey Gear

• Vinyl Decals: Durable and weather-resistant, vinyl decals are ideal for helmets, sticks, and bags. They can be die-cut to any shape, making them perfect for detailed logos or text.

• Reflective Decals: Great for safety and visibility, especially for players who travel to and from games in the dark. Reflective decals can be used on bags and protective gear.

• Custom Stickers: These can be printed in full color and cut to specific shapes. Custom stickers are great for team logos, player numbers, and fun, personal designs.

• Transfer Stickers: These are high-quality and provide a clean, professional look as they leave no background when applied, just the logo or design itself.

Personalizing Your Tape and Style

Even your equipment can deploy subtle or not-so-subtle personal touches. The color or pattern of your stick tape or your sock tape and laces color can help you put your personal touch on a uniform.

Washington Capitals superstar Alexander Ovechkin became known for his signature yellow laces when the rest of the league still used plain white.

These little touches can also be a way to build team unity or connect with wider causes.

NHL players used personalized purple tape on their sticks during the Hockey Fights Cancer nights to show support for cancer awareness. Sergei Bobrovsky even had a Hockey Fights Canver Goalie Mask that was a fan favorite.
