Honest Spec Notes

Use: A lightweight wind-and-rain shell for travel, outdoor courts, and wet days, cut to layer over the kit. It blocks wind and light rain. it is not a heavy waterproof rain coat or a warmth layer. For warmth, the fleece jacket is the option.

Decoration: Sublimation decorates the smooth body panels in team colors, and the flat chest takes an embroidered crest. The water-resistant face holds sublimation cleanly on the panels.

Fit: Cut to layer over the kit or a hoodie. Order true-to-size to wear over a shirt, or size up one to layer over warmth.

Decoration Options for Your Windbreaker

Sublimation decorates the smooth shell panels in team colors, and embroidery works on the flat chest for a dimensional crest.

Custom sublimation printing applied to polyester team apparel, showing full-color graphics integrated into the fabric

Sublimation

Full-color designs become part of the polyester so graphics never crack, peel, or fade. Used across our performance-poly shorts and pants to color-match the jersey exactly. Cotton-rich fleece is decorated by embroidery or print instead, since sublimation needs a polyester base.

Best for:Color-matching the jersey, full-bleed designs, side stripes, sublimated numbers
Tackle twill and embroidery on a flat fabric panel, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery — flat panels

Dimensional sewn-on lettering and crests on the flat hip or thigh panels where the fabric is stable. Stretch zones like waistbands, hems, and compression knits are kept to sublimation, since stitched decoration pops as those areas flex.

Best for:Front-hip or thigh crests, a dimensional team mark, premium varsity-style finish
Screen-printed team logo on custom apparel, showing flat vibrant solid-color ink applied to the fabric

Screen Printing

Vibrant flat-color decoration on stable panels and cotton-rich fleece. Pricing varies by ink count and is itemized in your quote. A cost-effective route for single-color wordmarks and sponsor logos.

Best for:Single-color wordmarks, sponsor logos, cost-effective flat-color branding

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Left chest: embroidered or sublimated team crest
  • Body panels: sublimated team color and stripe
  • Full back: sublimated team name or logo
  • Sleeve: optional sublimated sponsor mark

Basketball Windbreaker FAQ

The questions teams ask before ordering windbreakers. answered for the lightweight water-resistant shell.

Is it waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The DWR shell blocks wind and light rain for travel and outdoor courts, but it is a packable shell, not a heavy rain coat. For warmth, the fleece jacket is the layer.
Can it be sublimated?
Yes. The smooth poly shell takes sublimated team-color panels cleanly, and the flat chest takes an embroidered crest. Both are included in the per-piece pricing.
How is it different from the fleece jacket?
Weight and purpose. The windbreaker is a light wind-and-rain shell. The fleece jacket is a warm fleece. Pick the windbreaker for wind and rain, the fleece for warmth.
Does it pack down?
Yes. It is light enough to pack into a bag for travel and the bench, with secure zip pockets.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single piece up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4-7 business days under our free worldwide shipping policy, putting your custom basketball windbreakers in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off.
