100 Softball Team Names Plus Slogans and Jersey Ideas by League

A Tuesday night slowpitch team and a 14U fastpitch travel team need very different names. One wants a laugh from the other dugout; the other wants something a college coach can read on a scoreboard without wincing.

So the 100 names below are sorted by league: adult slowpitch, coed, fastpitch, youth rec, church and corporate. After the names come slogans, jersey nicknames, the number rules high school teams play under, and what to know about jersey styles before you order.

Jersey Nicknames and Number Rules

A nickname on the back should be something the player is happy to wear all season. Keep them about strengths, not mistakes, especially on youth teams:

What the Rules Say About Numbers

High school softball follows the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) uniform rules. Per the NFHS softball uniform guide:

• Every player needs a number on the back of the jersey, at least 6 inches high.
• The number must be a solid color that contrasts with the shirt, with a border no wider than 1/4 inch.
• No two players on a team can wear the same number, and 0 and 00 count as the same number.
• Each uniform piece may carry only one manufacturer logo, no larger than 2 1/4 square inches.

Rec and travel leagues set their own rules, so check with your league before ordering, but building to the high school standard keeps jerseys legal almost anywhere. As for which number to pick, #42 is a respectful choice with history behind it: Major League Baseball retired it across every team in honor of Jackie Robinson on April 15, 1997 (National Baseball Hall of Fame).

Softball Jersey Styles and How They Are Decorated

• Two-button henley: the rec league standard. Easy to pull on, and the open front leaves a clean chest for a team name.
• Full-button jersey (often pinstriped): the classic ballpark look favored by travel and high school teams. The placket splits the chest, so names usually arc across or sit on one side.
• Crew-neck or V-neck performance tee: the budget option for slowpitch and youth rec, and the easiest to screen print.
• Sublimation dyes the whole design into polyester fabric, so stripes, gradients and sleeve graphics cost no more than a plain print and cannot peel.
• Screen printing suits one or two colors on cotton or poly tees in larger quantities.
• Heat-applied vinyl is how most teams add individual names and numbers, since each jersey is different.
• Tackle twill (stitched fabric letters) is the premium look for full-button game jerseys.

Fastpitch teams often want a women's cut while coed and men's teams use unisex sizing, so collect sizes per player and confirm the size chart before ordering. RELYmedia prints custom athletic jerseys for softball teams, with up to 50% off website prices.
