Base layer: A short-sleeve base layer worn under the jersey and pads. For a sleeveless cut, the sleeveless compression shirt is the option. for cold weather, the thermal compression shirt.
Decoration: Sublimation only. the whole garment is a four-way-stretch zone, so embroidery and tackle twill crack as it stretches. We sublimate team colors and a logo into the compression face.
Care: Skip fabric softener. it coats the wicking and compression fibers and reduces both. Wash cold inside-out and hang dry.
Sublimation is the only decoration method on a four-way-stretch compression garment. embroidery and tackle twill crack as the fabric stretches.
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.
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.
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.
