It may only be May, but decorators are already getting ready for the fall sports busy season.
With over 2 million football players across youth, high school, and college leagues, more than 480,000 high school volleyball players and millions of boys getting ready for soccer, fall sports season is a big opportunity for your business. Don’t miss out, start planning now.
Pre-Spaced Text for player names paired with Pre-Cut Numbers make it easy to personalize team uniforms with your heat press in one easy step. However, it’s important to consider the right materials, fonts, and number styles for each sport.
Football
Full contact sports, like football, require heat transfer materials that are durable and abrasion-resistant. Thermo-FILM®, is the #1 athletic heat transfer material for good reason; it’s engineered to outlast the jersey itself. Other options for football uniforms include Thermo-GRIP®, Poly-TWILL®, and the simulated embroidery look of SimStitch®. Always check with your local sports league administrators for specific decorating requirements for the league.

Volleyball
Thermo-FILM® is a good choice for volleyball uniforms made with sublimated polyester because it inhibits dye migration. Another good choice is Premium Plus®, with its high stretch and rebound on the poly-blend performance fabrics used for volleyball uniforms.

Boys’ Soccer
You’ve got options when decorating soccer uniforms with pre-cut and pre-spaced letters and numbers. Thermo-FILM, Thermo-GRIP, and Premium Plus are all excellent choices. However, stay away from Poly-TWILL™ or SimStitch to avoid adding bulk to the uniform.
