What Makes a Jersey Unforgettable?

It’s not just about the team name or the number on the back — it’s the full story a jersey tells. Every transfer, every placement, every detail contributes to how that story is remembered.

When done right, heat transfers allow decorators to go beyond the basics — unlocking placement freedom, perfect registration, and pro-level finishes without complicated setups. In our latest campaign, we showcased exactly what that looks like.

Fall sports season is here — and for decorators, it’s one of the busiest times of the year. Soccer kits, football jerseys, cheer uniforms, and fan gear all need to be customized fast, and teams expect bold graphics that last.

At 613 Originals, we print what matters. What lasts. What becomes legacy. This guide brings together the best practices for heat transfer jersey application — including placement tips, number sizing, transfer compatibility, and the most common mistakes to avoid.
