Three Tips For Ordering Custom Screen Printed Jerseys For Your Soccer Team

Managing a youth soccer team can be a challenging task for anyone to have to do. In addition to teaching work ethic, sportsmanship, and the rules of the game, you will also need to manage the logistics that accompany running a sports team. One of the more important tasks that you will need to do is to have uniforms prepared. To this end, you might want to consider the following few tips if you are thinking about having the jerseys screen printed.

Work With A Professional Designer

Many individuals may assume that they will have the necessary skills to design their soccer jerseys. However, producing a professional quality and appealing design can be far more difficult than it appears. Considering that these jerseys may become cherished childhood heirlooms, you should consider working with a professional designer. Luckily, you may not need to hire a separate professional for this task as it is common for screen printing services to offer their clients design services for a nominal extra fee.

Opt For Dri-Fit Fabric

There are many different fabrics that you may use when having these jerseys printed. While it may be tempting to simply choose the cheapest fabric available, these fabrics may not be durable enough to make it through the entire season. Luckily, Dri-Fit fabrics are designed for athletic use, which will help to ensure that they are durable enough. Also, these fabrics can help to keep athletes cool by facilitating the sweating process by helping the sweat to evaporate. Using this material for your jerseys will be more expensive, but the performance and durability benefits may make this additional expense more than worth it to your team.  

Distribute Care Instructions To Parents

Unfortunately, many well-meaning parents will not have much experience when caring for Dri-Fit  screen printed jerseys. As a result, they may make mistakes when caring for these shirts that could greatly shorten the lifespan of the jerseys. To help minimize the risk of these mistakes compromising the appearance of your team, you should distribute care instructions to the parents of any participating children.

In these instructions, you should specify that the jersey should be washed immediately after each game, that only cold water should be used as well as a color safe detergent. Lastly, these shirts should be turned inside out prior to washing it so that there is less of a chance of the screen printing being damaged. Any other care instructions that were provided by the screen printer should also be passed to the parents.
