Trade tips

  • Dark garments need a white underbase under the print, or colours go dull.
  • Screen printing is priced by colour: one to three solid colours cost less than a full-colour photo.
  • Stretch and dark fabrics change how a print looks: always make one sample first.
  • Start the print about 7–9 cm below the collar so it sits right when worn.

What is the ringer tee sample printed on?

The sample is 100% cotton jersey (2-way stretch) 200 gsm, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A ringer tee is a crew-neck tee whose collar and sleeve bands are rib in a colour that contrasts with the body, the classic 1970s look. Body and sleeves are assembled as usual; the difference is the rib bands sewn round the sleeve ends instead of a turned hem. Common pairs are white with black, red or navy trim.

Choosing board and material

180–220 gsm cotton jersey for the body, with collar and sleeve bands in 1×1 cotton rib so they stretch evenly; poly-blend trims tend to relax differently from the body after washing. Dark trims on a white body need colour-fast yarn so they don't bleed.

Finishing

A centre-chest screen print or DTG is the classic ringer look: arched logo text, band graphics, vintage lettering. Take the print colours from the trim colour so the tee reads as one piece; a small left-chest embroidery also suits the retro style.

Preparing the print file

A chest area of about 25–28 cm on a size L, placed at chest height; keep the print away from the collar, as the contrast band makes it look clipped. Note the trim colour (Pantone or a fabric swatch) beside the file so print and trim match.

Common mistakes

  • Print colours off-tone from the trim: the tee looks like two products stitched together.
  • Placing the print too low: ringers are fitted, and the art slides onto the stomach.
  • Poly-blend trims on a cotton body: after washing the trims slacken and the collar flips.

Questions and answers

What size band graphic suits a size L 550 × 735 mm ringer?

With a 550 mm body, a chest graphic about 26–28 cm wide, its top 7–9 cm below the collar, matches the proportions of 1970s band tees.

Which trim colour should a brand choose for its ringer?

Use the brand's main colour on the trims with a white or cream body; for a multi-coloured logo, take its darkest colour for the trim.

How is a ringer different from a regular tee?

Only the collar and sleeve bands, sewn in a contrasting colour; the fit and body fabric are those of a crew-neck tee.

What designs suit a ringer tee?

Arched retro lettering, band graphics, vintage sports logos — few colours, drawn from the trim.

Can ringers work as uniforms?

Yes, a company or team colour on the trim is a built-in accent; just add a chest logo.
