What is a sublimated (or dye-sub) Uniform?!

Alright, so let's dive into the colorful world of dye-sublimation for sports uniforms! I'm going to try to explain it as if talking to a soccer mom. And if you're not a soccer mom, don't be offended - just imagine you're standing by the bleachers listening in on our conversation. Anyway, imagine your kiddos' jerseys are like magic color-changing t-shirts, but cooler.

Dye-sublimation is like a high-tech makeover for fabric. First, we take these special inks and print the design onto a special transfer paper. This paper is like a superhero cape—it's ready to transform ordinary fabric into something extraordinary.

Next, we lay the fabric flat and put the printed transfer paper on top, like placing frosting on a cake. Then, it's time for heat and pressure, just like making a grilled cheese sandwich. The heat makes the ink on the paper turn into a gas (yes, gas!) and it gets absorbed right into the fabric fibers.

Here's the magic part: when the ink turns back into a solid inside the fabric, it becomes super vibrant and permanently bonded. That means no peeling or cracking, just smooth, vibrant colors that stay put no matter how hard the kids play. I know, right?! Say goodbye to those terrible vinyl numbers!

And voilà! The fabric comes out looking sharp and feeling smooth, with your team's logo and colors looking as bright as a sunny day. It's like giving each jersey a superhero makeover, ready to tackle the field and make your kiddos feel like champions!

So, next time you see our awesome jerseys on the field, remember they've been through a superhero transformation with dye-sublimation—making your little soccer stars look and feel unstoppable!
