Trade tips

  • Stretch fabric pulls a print wide when worn: use flexible ink or sublimation.
  • A small logo at the waistband or back pocket looks cleaner than a large print.
  • Stretch and dark fabrics change how a print looks: always make one sample first.
  • Check the print on several sizes: the same artwork looks very different on S and XL.

What is the football shorts sample printed on?

The sample is sports mesh (polyester bird's-eye knit) 140 gsm, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

Football shorts have two front and two back legs, a 30–40 mm elastic waist with an inside drawcord, mid-thigh legs and a contrast stripe down each side. Side seams are overlocked and many styles have a small side split at the hem for running. An inner mesh brief may or may not be included.

Choosing board and material

Polyester bird's-eye sports mesh of 120–160 gsm breathes, dries quickly and stays fast when sublimated; poly-spandex for slimmer fits. The fabric has to survive frequent washing and artificial-turf abrasion. Cotton doesn't suit: it's heavy and holds sweat.

Finishing

Full sublimation is the standard for football kits: colours, stripes, numbers and logos go into the fibre and can't peel. Screen print or vinyl numbers and names on plain shorts suit amateur teams. A small sponsor logo on the front leg and the number on the front right leg are common conventions.

Preparing the print file

Design on the pattern pieces for each leg (front, back, left, right) with a 10 mm seam allowance, and make sure the side stripe lines up between front and back. The number goes on a front leg, about 80–100 mm tall, 30–50 mm above the hem. Sublimation shrinks the fabric slightly with heat; the factory compensates on the pattern.

Common mistakes

  • Side stripes that don't line up between legs: the stripe steps at the seam.
  • Numbers too big for a short leg: they run into the hem split or a seam.
  • PU vinyl on thin mesh: numbers go stiff and lift at the edges after a few matches.
  • A dark colour close to a rival's: referees and spectators can't tell the teams apart.

Questions and answers

What size are the size L football shorts?

The L sample is about 556 mm across the waist laid flat (elastic stretched) × 478 mm long; legs end mid-thigh, so the number area is only about 150–200 mm tall.

What do I prepare when ordering a full team kit?

A list of each player's number, name and size, the team's main and secondary colours, and vector logos for the team and sponsors; goalkeeper shorts are usually a different colour, ordered separately.

Where are numbers printed on football shorts?

Usually on the front right or left leg, 80–100 mm tall; competition rules may differ, so check the league's regulations.

Sublimation or vinyl for football kits?

Sublimation is colourfast, can't peel, is light and handles complex designs; vinyl suits amateur teams printing only numbers and names on plain kit.

What is bird's-eye mesh?

A polyester knit with small holes like bird's eyes that breathes and wicks sweat fast — the standard fabric for sportswear.
