Hey coaches and jersey designers! When you’re looking to outfit your team in custom jerseys, custom tees, or custom singlets, there are a few ways you can go about it. Like ordering pizza, each method has its own set of toppings – or benefits. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of embroidery and printing for your team. 🤔
EMBROIDERY: THE CLASSIC
Embroidery is like a varsity jacket – it’s got some texture to it and offers a classic touch. It’s like the team logo, but stitched on.
PROS:
Durable: It won’t fade with a couple of washes. This stuff’s permanent.
Fancy and fly: It adds a pro look to your jersey. Like, “Business of ours.”
Flexible: It works on most clothing materials.
CONS:
Expensive: The complex the design, the more it’ll cost ya.
Scratchy: The reverse side can irritate you when you’re taking that game-winning shot.
Not the best for super fancy stuff: Intricate logos may not have as much swag when stitched.
PRINTING: THE NEW GUY
Printing is like the new kid – it’s sharp, sleek, and smooth. It’s great for intricate logos or when you want vibrant colours.
PROS:
Intricate: You’ll get all the lines and shades in your design.
Smooth: It’s not scratchy.
Cost-efficient: It’s ideal for outfitting your entire team.
CONS:
Not permanent: Some prints may fade like jeans over time.
Meh: To some, printing just doesn’t have the same ring to it as embroidery.
SO WHAT’S THE MOVE FOR YOUR TEAM?
Consider your needs. Is your logo intricate? Printing may be the way to go. On a budget? Printing is often the more cost-efficient route. Want your jerseys to last? Embroidery may be the way to go.
Whether you’re stitched or pressed, be sure to work with a jersey designer who is A+ in quality like we are team spirit. Because no matter if you’re in custom basketball jerseys or any other sportswear, you’ll want to look good, feel good, and play good. Let’s get your team looking fire! 🏆
