Do you ever wonder how the world was introduced to t-shirts?

The very existence of this iconic staple in American fashion dates back to the late 19^th century when t-shirts were originally designed as an undergarment by the laborers who would cut their jumpsuits to half during summers to keep cool.

The term ‘t-shirt’ was first introduced in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s published novel This Side of Paradise. Later, the (now) most ubiquitous apparel - ‘t-shirt’ was accepted as an outer garment.

What is a Jersey T-shirt?

Speaking of t-shirts, there is one type that means something very different than their generic usage (as seen). Curious? Well, we are talking about ‘Jersey T-shirts’.

Does that ring any bells? No.

When we say the word Jersey, our mind automatically starts to imagine lean and energetic players wearing printed t-shirts in vibrant colors. But in reality, the jersey has nothing to do with any sport in particular.

Traditionally, Jersey refers to an item of knitted clothing, usually made from wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Earlier, jerseys were made from worsted wool yarn, which was also used to make coats because they were stretchy (in nature).

In fact, you would be amazed to know that this fabric is used to make underwear, bedding, sweaters, dresses, blouses, polo shirts, sweatpants, and athletic wear because these are compliant with printing and customization.

Popularity of Jersey T-Shirts

Coming back to Jersey t-shirts, one must know that this fabric is mostly used as sportswear because it is very warm, soft, comfortable, flexible, and very insulating, making it a popular choice.

Another reason why many people like to wear jersey fabric is the stretch factor. It is amazing how this fabric can stretch up to 25 percent along its grain. This gives you another advantage (along the line) of customizing your jersey’s print. Since it is a flexible and adaptable material, jerseys have a vast field for customization.

Customized Jersey T-shirts

Have you noticed how beautiful the colors and print look on your favorite soccer team jerseys? Well, partly it is because the fabric is very adaptable and the other part is the printing technique.

When it comes to tailoring your jersey, you can play with colors. As you may have noticed team jerseys are often vibrant in color to stand out from the crowd, and this is possible mainly because of sublimation printing. This also gives you space to include intricate detailing in your jersey, add logos, designs, abstract art, or absolutely anything.

While jersey fabric is very flexible when it comes to customization, one must notice that the printing technique is equally important.

Usually, jersey t-shirts are printed using the sublimation printing process because of its many advantages like:

• • • You get unlimited color options to choose from. Jerseys are often given vibrant colors for perfect photographic images
    • Sublimation printing has the ability to print-intricate all-over designs with less mess and on-point accuracy
    • The dye used in this printing technique is light in weight and therefore, the fabric stays soft always
    • Customization done through sublimation has excellent results. The print does not crack, peel, or fade with time
    • Sublimation printing is fabric friendly and thus increases the life of the customized t-shirt
    • This process is comparatively less costly and can be ordered in bulk to meet huge deliverable

Benefits of Custom Printed Jersey T-shirts
