We can custom-design a unique team crest for your jersey or we can use your supplied artwork to create your existing team crest. In addition, we offer stock crest designs to depict your team name. We also offer complete custom lettering and numbering on all jerseys. Refer to the links at the left under the "Decorating" category for detailed information.

Direct Screen Print

We can apply a team crest to your jerseys in four methods. The first is direct screen printing. This is the most cost-effective method if you are dealing with large logos such as full front hockey crests. Your artwork, numbers and lettering are screen printed directly onto the fabric. Screen printed garments will last for years with proper care.

Sewn Tackle Twill

The second method is sewn tackle twill. This costs a little more than screen printing, but is more durable and has a professional look and feel. In this method, we create your design by sewing cut pieces of twill fabric together and stitching the finished crest to the jersey. This method lends itself to less complex designs, lettering and monogram-style crests.

Custom Appliqué

The third method is appliqué. This is a combination of tackle twill and embroidery. Any crest can be created by this method regardless of the complexity. The largest areas of color are cut and sewn together from tackle twill and the details are embroidered onto the twill. This is the ultimate in quality and durability. Most professional sports teams have their cresting done in this method. The cost is higher than other methods, and there is an additional one-time charge for digitizing the artwork for our embroidery equipment.

Custom Sublimated Sewn-on Patch

We can also dye sublimate on a sewn twill patch for a professional look at a significantly lower cost than appliqué. The sublimated twill crest is a flat price for unlimited colors and there is no set-up charge for this method. This is the best of both worlds, a professional look at a lower cost.

Direct Dye Sublimation

The fourth method is dye sublimation. In this method the crest, lettering and numbers as well as the jersey design itself are all dyed into the fabric at the time the garment is manufactured. Dye sublimation lends itself to all types of crest designs and holds detail well. You can create jersey designs and special effects that are not possible with a traditional cut-and-sew process and embroidery. We offer dye sublimation in all sports. Use the custom sublimation link for each sport to see the available styles. We can also create custom styles of your own design.
