Short answer

What are custom shin guards?

Custom shin guards are made to order around your uploaded content instead of a fixed printed design. SAIWEI SPORTS lets you personalize a pair with your own photo, name, number, text, or artwork, choose carbon fiber or PP plastic, and review the design before production. Orders can start from one pair, subject to the minimum order value in your currency.

Design studio

Build the artwork in layers.

Your design can be as simple as a name and jersey number or as personal as a full photo-based layout. Submit your own photo, name, number, text, or artwork and combine those elements in one design.

01

Use Your Own Photo

Upload a clear photo that you want to feature on the shin guards. A higher-quality source image gives the design team more usable detail for cropping and layout. If the image is small, heavily compressed, blurry, or already contains difficult-to-read text, check the artwork requirements first.

Read artwork guidelines →
02

Add a Name, Number or Text

Add a player name, jersey number, short message, or other text. Name and number personalization can be used on its own or combined with a photo or background artwork.

03

Use Different Images on the Left and Right

The left and right shin guards do not have to use the same image. Submit one image for the left guard and a different image for the right if that better fits your design.

04

Upload Your Own Artwork

You can submit your own graphic or artwork instead of a photo. Please upload only photos, artwork, names, text, logos, or other content that you own or are authorized to use.

Material lab

Choose the base.
Keep the design yours.

Both materials can carry personalized artwork. Choose based on the product size and shape you prefer, your budget, and any measured product data that matters to your decision. This hub does not claim that either material is universally better.

Product dimensions

Seven Classic carbon sizes, two Ultra sizes, eight PP plastic sizes.

Classic Carbon covers 7 product dimensions, Carbon Ultra adds 2 wider sizes, and PP plastic covers 8. All three start at the compact mini formats; only PP plastic continues through XL. These are product dimensions, not age-based sizing recommendations.

Use the full size guide before choosing a size for a specific player — it lists the measured weight and thickness for every size. Product dimensions do not equal age recommendations. Measurements are first-party readings taken from production samples. Published figures are nominal: actual weight may differ from the value shown by up to ±5 g per guard and each dimension by up to ±3 mm through production tolerance, and further with batch and storage time.

Production track

Preview before production.

A design preview is provided before production so you can see how the submitted photo, name, number, text, or artwork has been arranged on the guards.

Step 01Choose your material and size
Step 02Upload your photo or artwork
Step 03Add a name, number or text
Step 04Review the design preview
Step 05Move to production and shipping

Production is targeted to be completed within 24 hours, and orders are targeted to ship within 48 hours. The fastest orders may ship within 24 hours. Weekends and holidays are excluded from these production and dispatch timeframes. The preview confirms the design before it is made; the number of design changes, approval method, and special artwork requirements follow the current live ordering workflow.

Small-order friendly

One pair is allowed.
The order value still matters.

You can start with one pair of custom shin guards. The MOQ is 1+, so you do not need to order a full team quantity just to create a personalized pair. “One pair custom” and “minimum order value” are separate rules.

1+Minimum order quantity

For clubs, academies, schools, or orders with repeated player names and numbers, use the dedicated team-order route.

personal design shin guard for player

Personal soccer gifts

A design that belongs to the player.

Custom shin guards can also be created as a personal soccer gift. Instead of choosing a generic design, use a photo that matters to the player, add a name or jersey number, or combine those details with your own artwork.

If you are ordering for someone else, confirm the size before production. A personalized design does not replace the need to choose a suitable product size.

Who it is for

One customization system.
Different player needs.

The customization system can be used for individual youth or adult players, while available product dimensions range from compact mini formats through XL. This page does not assign a specific size by age.

Buying questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to common pre-purchase questions about photos, names, left/right designs, one-pair orders, previews, materials, gifts, and regional ordering.

Can I put my own photo on custom shin guards?

Yes. You can submit your own photo for the design, either by itself or together with a name, number, text, or other artwork. Use the clearest source image available so the design has enough detail to work with. Review the artwork guidelines before uploading low-resolution or heavily compressed images.

Can I add my name and jersey number?

Yes. A name, jersey number, and text can be added to the custom design. They can be used as the main design element or combined with a photo or artwork. Enter the exact spelling and number you want shown, then confirm the design in the preview before production.

Can I use a different image on each shin guard?

Yes. The left and right shin guards can use different images. You may submit one image for the left guard and another for the right guard, or use the same image on both. The design preview lets you see the proposed left and right layouts before production.

Can I order just one pair of custom shin guards?

Yes. The MOQ is 1+, so an individual pair can be ordered. A minimum order value also applies: $19.99 USD, A$30, £15, or €18 depending on the checkout currency. If you need multiple personalized pairs for a club or academy, use the team-order page.

Will I see my design before production?

Yes. A design preview is provided before production. Use the preview to check the main photo, name, number, text, and left/right layout. Production begins according to the current approval workflow. This page does not promise a fixed number of free revisions unless that is stated in the live ordering process.

Should I choose carbon fiber or plastic?

Choose based on the material, product dimensions, budget, and the measured product information that matters to you. Both carbon fiber and PP plastic support custom artwork. This page does not claim that one material is universally better for every player. Use the comparison and testing pages for a fuller decision.

Are custom shin guards a good soccer gift?

They can be a personal soccer gift because you can build the design around the recipient’s own photo, name, number, or artwork. They can suit birthdays, Christmas, a new season, or end-of-season gifting. If you are buying for someone else, confirm the correct size before placing the order.

Your photo. Your number. Your shin guards.

Design a pair that’s yours.

Start with your own photo, name, number, text, or artwork. Choose the material and size you want, review your design preview, and proceed with a custom pair built around your design.

Minimum order value applies. Product dimensions are not age recommendations. Shipping times are business-day estimates under the current shipping policy and may be affected by carrier, customs, destination, weekends, or holidays.
