Spirit Jerseys have become one of the most recognizable pieces of Disney park fashion.
But did you know you can customize them with embroidery at Disney parks?
It’s one of the best little-known souvenir upgrades in the park.
What Is a Spirit Jersey?
Spirit Jerseys actually date back to 1983.
The Los Angeles-based company originally made apparel for college sororities, but their popularity exploded after partnering with Disney around 2017.
By 2019, Spirit Jerseys had become a staple of Disney park fashion.
Why are they so popular?
- Perfect for Southern California weather
- Thicker than a t-shirt but lighter than a sweatshirt
- Oversized, comfortable, and unisex
- Easy to roll up and store in a park bag
They’re basically the perfect theme park outer layer.
Customizing Your Spirit Jersey
Most guests know you can embroider Mouse ears, but you can also embroider:
- Spirit Jerseys
Sweatshirts
Onesies
Towels
Hats
To do it, you’ll need:
- The item still with tags
- The receipt
- The item must be purchased in the park
The cost is usually around $8 per pass (word or line).
How the Process Works
When you bring your item to an embroidery location in the resort, Cast Members will help you choose:
- Font style
Thread color
Placement
You’ll then either receive a pickup time later that day or be able to return at the end of your park visit.
