Picture this: You’ve just signed a star striker on FIFA Mobile, but your team’s kit clashes horribly with your opponent’s. Worse yet, your top midfielder is wearing number 98 instead of the iconic number 10. It feels off, doesn’t it?
Welcome to the world of customization in FIFA Mobile, where aesthetics matter just as much as skill. And no, you don’t need hacks, mods, or shady APKs to make your team look pro. You just need to know where to look and how to do it right.
Let’s dive into how to customize kits and numbers in FIFA Mobile the legit way.
Why Customization Matters in FIFA Mobile
If you’re serious about your Ultimate Team experience, customizing kits and jersey numbers is more than just a vanity move. It enhances immersion, gives your squad personality, and builds emotional connection.
For many players in the USA and UK, representing your favorite club or creating your own is all about identity.
Here’s why players obsess over customization:
- Club Pride: Wear the jersey of your favorite Premier League or MLS club.
- Aesthetic Consistency: Make your squad look uniform and professional.
- Tactical Recognition: Assigning preferred numbers (like #9 to your striker) helps identify players quickly during gameplay.
- Show Off Online: Flex your customized kits in online matches and divisions.

Steps to Unlock:

Tips for Better Kit Selection:

How to Change Jersey Numbers (No Hack Required)
Custom jersey numbers give your team that extra flair and it’s fully doable within the game’s settings.
Here’s How:
- Go to My Team
- Select Players
- Tap on the player whose number you want to change
- Tap the Edit Player Info icon (pencil or gear icon)
- Scroll to Jersey Number and choose the new number
- Save and exit
Pro Tip:
Numbers are unique per squad. If two players have the same number, FIFA Mobile will automatically reassign one of them to avoid conflict.
Preferred Numbers Based on Positions:
| Position | Iconic Numbers |
|---|---|
| Striker | 9, 11 |
| Attacking Mid | 10, 7 |
| Defender | 3, 4, 5 |
| Goalkeeper | 1, 13 |
| Winger | 7, 17 |
Custom Crests and Logos: Add Your Personal Brand
Want to go beyond kits and numbers? Personalize your team with unique crests and logos.
How to Get Custom Logos:
- Earn through Achievements
- Collect via Events (especially club partnerships)
- Buy in the Store using Coins or FIFA Points
Once unlocked:
- Go to My Team > Customization > Crest
- Pick the logo you want and apply
Some of the rarest logos in 2025 include:
- MLS All-Stars Logo
- Golden FIFA FUT Shield (Star Pass Exclusive)
- Halloween Skull Crest (Event Based)
Avoiding Hacks and Mods: Why It’s Important
We know you’ve seen those YouTube videos and sketchy APKs promising “Unlimited Kit Access” or “Modded Jersey Editor.” But here’s the truth:
- They violate EA’s terms
- You risk getting permanently banned
- They often contain malware or spyware
Instead, stick to the legit methods EA has built into the game. They’re rewarding, progressive, and keep your account safe.
Real-World Inspiration: How Players Build Iconic Teams
Many FIFA Mobile players from the UK and USA replicate their dream clubs:
- Tommy, 22, from Manchester, recreated the full 2007 Manchester United squad, complete with vintage kits and original numbers. “It took me months, but it’s my proudest team yet.”
- Lisa, 29, from Texas, used women’s league kits from an event to build a tribute team to the USWNT. “It wasn’t just about gameplay it was a statement.”
Use these examples to think bigger. You’re not just customizing looks you’re telling a story.
Advanced Tips: Standing Out Without Paying Real Money
Customization in FIFA Mobile doesn’t always have to come from the wallet. Here’s how to stand out without breaking the bank:
- Grind Events: Many events offer rare kits/logos for free-to-play players
- Use Market Coins Wisely: Buy players who unlock new kits (based on real-life clubs)
- Join Leagues: Some league milestones unlock customization options
- Log In Daily: Free daily rewards often include cosmetic items
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using same-colored kits for home and away (can make gameplay confusing)
- Not checking number conflicts before matches
- Ignoring events many players miss limited-edition kits that never return
- Falling for fake hacks that can permanently lock your account
At its heart, FIFA Mobile is about making your Ultimate Team truly yours. Whether you’re crafting a modern-day Premier League powerhouse or honoring football legends with retro kits, the customization options when used smartly can elevate your game.
And the best part? You don’t need hacks or shady shortcuts. Everything you need is already in the game.
So go ahead, rock that Juventus third kit, give your striker the iconic number 9, and dominate the field in style.
