The sportswear manufacturing blog is where our production team explains how custom team uniforms are designed, made and delivered. Alongside the articles above, our buyer’s guides by sport are a good place to start. Each one sits on its sport page and covers styles, fabrics, decoration and ordering.
School teams should check their state association’s uniform rules before finalizing a design. The NFHS publishes rules for most high school sports.
Sublimation dyes the full design into polyester fabric, so there is no limit on colors and nothing cracks or peels. Embroidery stitches your logo into the garment for a premium finish on polos, jackets and hoodies. Tackle twill stitches cut fabric letters and numbers onto the garment, the classic look for game jerseys and varsity wear. Printed logos are a cost-effective option for tees, fleece and bags.
Singlets and compression gear use 4-way stretch polyester-spandex. Jerseys and practice wear use breathable, moisture-wicking polyester. Fleece hoodies and sweatshirts come in 220 or 300 GSM polyester, or an 80/20 cotton-poly blend at 250, 300 or 400 GSM.
