Decoration Options for Your Warm-Up Jacket

Three premium decoration techniques. Sublimation is our recommendation for matching the game-jersey colorway exactly; tackle twill and embroidery work beautifully on the smooth tricot panels.

Sublimation

Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester tricot exterior — graphics never crack, peel, or fade and color-match your game jersey colorway exactly.

Best for:Color-matching the game jersey, full-bleed designs, gradient panels, sponsor full-front prints
Tackle twill numbers and embroidered logo applied to a custom team jersey, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery

Dimensional, professional appearance — pairs especially well with warm-up jackets. Embroidered chest crests and tackle-twill back numbers give the jacket a varsity-grade premium feel that reads on the bench and the broadcast.

Best for:Embroidered chest crests, tackle-twill back numbers, varsity-style team marks, premium finish

Screen Printing

Vibrant flat-color decoration on smooth panel areas. Pricing varies by ink count — itemized in your quote. Avoid high-stretch zones; works beautifully on the back panel or chest.

Best for:Single-color sponsor wordmarks, simple back panel branding, cost-effective decoration

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Front-left chest: team crest or primary logo
  • Back center: team name in arch over player number
  • Upper sleeve / shoulder cap: secondary logo or sponsor mark
  • Forearm: optional sponsor wordmark
  • Stand-up collar (interior): optional team name or motivational mark

Basketball Warm-Up Jacket FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before placing their first warm-up jacket order — answered specifically for the full-zip sideline cut.

When do players wear the warm-up jacket?
During pre-game shoot-around (over the shooting shirt), on the bench between shifts, during walk-in / arrival at the venue, on travel days, and post-game when the gym cools down. It is the layering staple of a well-organized basketball program. One piece that handles four different sideline moments.
Will the jacket layer cleanly over the game jersey and shooting shirt?
Yes. That is exactly what it is cut for. Standard sizing accommodates a game jersey + shooting shirt underneath without binding. If your players also wear a hooded sweatshirt under the jacket on cold travel days, size up one for that scenario.
What kind of zipper do you use?
A heavy-duty smooth-glide zipper rated for 10,000+ open/close cycles, with reinforced bar-tack stitching at the bottom stop to prevent failure under repeated stress. Zip closed before washing to protect the teeth from snagging on other garments in the load.
Can the jacket color-match my custom basketball jerseys and warm-up pants exactly?
Yes. We sublimate the jacket in the same colorway as your jerseys, shorts, and tapered warm-up pants. Same color values, same logos, same accents. The pants share this exact fabric (280 GSM polyester tricot, brushed interior), so the kit reads identically across jacket and pants. If you order the full kit together (jacket + pants + jersey + shorts), we run them in the same production batch using one color spec.
Are there pockets?
Yes. Side-seam hand-warmer pockets on both hips. Sized to fit a phone, keys, or a coach's notebook without sagging the silhouette. Interior chest pocket available on request at no surcharge.
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's 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, putting your custom basketball warm-up jackets in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
