Order custom basketball headbands built in our Sialkot factory and shipped worldwide. The 4-way stretch sweat band players actually wear. Sublimated with team colors, logos, and player numbers, priced for bulk team orders. Worn during play for sweat absorption and team identity, or under the warm-up cap during pre-game routines.
The custom basketball headband is the small accessory that ties a team uniform together. Sublimated to coordinate with the game-day jersey colorway and pulled on by every player at tip-off. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these headbands in 85/15 nylon-spandex performance knit with full-color sublimation that flexes with the stretch band. One-size-fits-most adult and youth heads (the 4-way stretch handles the variance). We recommend ordering at twice the roster count. Headbands are consumable across a full season, and players appreciate having a clean spare in the bag.
4-way stretch nylon-spandex with reinforced edge binding to keep the band's shape across a season of pulls, sweat, and washes.
Fit: Headbands are ONE-SIZE-FITS-MOST. The 4-way stretch nylon-spandex accommodates adult and most youth heads via stretch, not via adjustability. There is no buckle or velcro to tighten. Players with very small or very large heads should request a custom-sized batch.
Order quantity: Headbands are a CONSUMABLE accessory. Players sweat through them, lose them, hand them out. We recommend ordering AT LEAST 2x your roster count to cover a full season without re-orders.
Decoration limits: Direct embroidery on a stretch headband band pops as the spandex flexes. We can apply embroidered or tackle-twill patches sewn onto the front panel only; for any other placement we strongly recommend sublimation.
Sublimation is the recommended decoration method on stretch headbands. Embroidery requires sewn-on patches — direct embroidery on a stretch band pops as it flexes.
The recommended decoration method for stretch headbands. Full-color designs printed into the nylon-spandex fibers themselves — colors stretch and recover with the band without cracking, peeling, or fading.
Sewn-on patches applied to the front panel only. Direct embroidery onto the stretch band pops as the spandex flexes — the patch approach gives the dimensional embroidery look while keeping the band's stretch intact.
Workable on the flat front panel of the headband at extra cost per ink color. Print may show light cracking under extreme stretch over a season — sublimation gives a markedly better long-term result on stretch fabric.
Headbands are sized differently than apparel — the 4-way stretch handles the variance, no Men's/Women's/Youth chart required.
