Best Fabrics for Sport Team Jerseys
Find out what type of fabric will better improve your team’s performance.
No matter if it is basketball, soccer, or cross country, choosing a jersey fabric for your team can either affect them negatively or positively. When it comes to choosing the best fabric for your sports team, you will want to consider these three factors:
- Moisture-wicking– To keep you dry and comfortable as you sweat.
- Breathability– To keep you cool and protect your body from heat exhaustion.
- Flexibility– To stretch with your body’s movement for more comfort and range of motion.
While some sports teams may need jerseys to cover all three, some may need a fabric that is breathable and flexible or just moisture-wicking. To help you choose a fabric that best suits your team, here is a list of fabrics we offer at Snider Custom Apparel, along with a few points to explain what they are best at doing.
