Honest Spec Notes

Fabric reality: A heavy cotton-rich drill, the durable traditional cloth. it is tougher and more abrasion-resistant than performance poly but heavier and slower-drying, so it suits forwards and traditional clubs over speed-focused backs.

Decoration: The cotton-rich drill takes embroidery and screen print cleanly, which is the traditional club decoration. Full-color sublimation needs a high-poly white base, so it is limited to printed panels here.

Decoration Options for Your Traditional Jersey

Embroidery and screen print are the lead methods on cotton-rich drill. they read crisp and durable. Sublimation needs a high-poly base, so it is limited here.

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 club crest
  • Back: screen-printed player number and name
