Youth Baseball Uniform Guide: What Is in a Kit
If your child just joined a baseball team, here is what a typical team uniform includes, how sizing works, and what tends to be required versus optional.
What is in a typical kit
A baseball team kit usually includes a numbered jersey, pants, and a cap, often with a belt and socks or stirrups, frequently in home and away colors. Gloves, cleats, and bats are bought separately by the family.
Required versus optional
The jersey, pants, and cap are typically required team items, with belts and socks completing the look. Check your club list for what is required versus optional before ordering.
How sizing works
Youth sizing varies by brand, so use the item size chart for jerseys and pants. Confirm pant length and whether the team uses full-length or knicker-style pants before ordering.
Jersey numbers and personalization
Baseball jerseys carry a number on the back, and many teams add a player name. Numbers are often assigned or chosen during ordering.
