Custom Team Apparel Manufacturer — Sublimated Jerseys, Training Tees, Warm-Ups & Team Sets
Sublimated team sets with number, name, and crest personalization built into the pattern. Upload your roster CSV — each piece prints unique. MOQ 100 per order.
Every player row needs to survive artwork, production and packing.
Team apparel is a data problem as much as a garment problem. Names, numbers, sizes, sponsor blocks and club colors need one controlled source before the first panel is printed.
- Check duplicate numbers, missing sizes and spelling before generating artwork.
- Approve crest, sponsor and number placement on the full size range.
- Prepare packing by team, player bundle, destination or event group.

How Roster-Based Personalization Works
Send a spreadsheet, receive individually printed pieces — each one matched to your roster.
Upload Roster CSV
You send a spreadsheet with player names, numbers, sizes, and any crest or sponsor variations.
Assign Per-Piece Data
We map each row to a unique print file — number, name, crest, and sponsor block per piece.
Sublimation Runs Per-Piece
Each garment prints individually. Full-bleed sublimation bonds dye into the polyester fiber rather than sitting on top of it — the same panel survives the wash tests that screen prints fail.
QC Against Roster
Every finished piece is checked against your original roster. Mismatches get reprinted before shipment.
Roster CSV Field Spec — What to Put in Each Column Before You Send It
Team apparel is a data problem before it is a garment problem. Use this table to validate your roster file before submission — format errors return to you alongside the standard 24-hour RFQ confirmation, before any roster-to-print mapping starts.
| Column | Data Type / Format | Required | Common Buyer Errors | How We Handle It |
|---|---|---|---|---|
player_name |
Text (UTF-8: long names, hyphens, accents supported) | Yes | Same-name teammates not differentiated (no Jr./II) | Duplicate flagged → returned with 24-hour RFQ confirmation for buyer to disambiguate |
number |
Integer 1–99 | Yes | Duplicate numbers on the same squad · 0 / 00 used without prior agreement | Duplicate rejected; file returned for buyer revision before artwork starts |
size |
XS · S · M · L · XL · XXL (or buyer’s own size chart) | Yes | Letter and numeric mixed (M + 32) · missing size cells | Normalized against buyer’s submitted size chart; missing cells returned |
crest_variant |
String (default · captain · armband) | Optional | Empty cell interpreted as default | Empty defaults to standard crest; captain or armband applied per row |
sponsor_block |
String (front · back · sleeve · none) | Optional | Different sponsor placements mixed within one squad | Each row processed per its declared placement; mismatch flagged to buyer |
kit_variant |
String (home · away · 3rd · training) | Optional | Home and away rows not labeled, same player listed twice | Empty defaults to home; same-player duplicates require explicit kit labels |
notes |
Free text | Optional | — | Reviewed manually by the team-line account manager |
Header row labels (column names) should match this spec exactly for automated validation. If your file uses different column names, include a mapping note — the manual review step adds a working day to the timeline.

Order Specifications
Why team kits get three lines of their own
Lines 10, 11 and 12 are dedicated to roster-driven team work; lines 5–9 carry bulk performance and athleisure runs.
Panel Feed from Sublimation
Printed jersey panels come off the four sublimation lines already carrying each player’s graphics, then move to the team lines for assembly — so personalization happens before sewing, where it can still be reprinted cheaply.
Ship-Date Scheduling
The 7:45 morning board sequences every team line by fixture date rather than warehouse date, supporting a 92.4% on-time delivery rate across all production families during peak pre-season.
Mixed-Fabric Kit Matching
A warm-up jacket in brushed polyester will never read identically to a sublimated mesh jersey, so mesh, interlock and brushed polyester are all shade-matched against the same fabric record before bulk dyeing — the kit ships under one approved color band.
Ordering against a kickoff, not a launch
Count Backwards
Take your first fixture, subtract your freight lane, subtract the 18–25 production days, then subtract the time your committee genuinely needs to approve a proof. The date left over is your real roster deadline — put it in writing for the club.
Plan for Late Signings
Squads change after the order is placed. Decide at order time how January arrivals will be kitted: held blank stock, a follow-up mini-run (subject to MOQ 100), or carry-over to next season.
Distribution Is Part of the Spec
Kits can be packed per player, per squad or per destination. A bag labeled with each player’s name costs minutes in the factory and saves a kit manager an evening in the clubhouse.
Next Season Starts in This File
Artwork, colors and templates from this year’s kit are retained, so next season’s order is a roster refresh rather than a redesign — returning clubs typically save the entire proofing stage.
The club orders we see most often
Multi-Squad Clubs
First team, reserves and youth in one program — one CSV per squad, shared artwork, staggered deliveries so the academy kits do not hold the senior order hostage. Sport-specific construction details live on the soccer and basketball pages.
School Athletic Departments
Several sports under one budget cycle and one crest. Consolidating them into a single production window usually beats four separate small orders on both price and consistency.
Corporate & Event Leagues
Company tournaments and charity runs want sponsor blocks and fast turnarounds more than technical fabric, and they reorder annually when year one lands well. The CSV mechanics that make per-piece names painless are documented under team customization.
