A real example of how to combine your team crest, sponsor logo, coach gear, and fanwear — and cut costs with the Digital Hybrid formula.

Team Orders Add Up But You Can Keep Costs Down

If you’re decorating for a youth sports team, you’ve likely run into this: multiple logos, multiple garments, and rising print costs. The good news? You can bring your cost per piece way down with a smart mix of gang sheets, single image transfers, and stock numbers.

Fanwear That Sells

You already know how to outfit a team. Now it’s time to outfit the fans.

When you’re producing team uniforms, you’re sitting on a massive opportunity: fanwear. Hoodies, tees, hats, bags — the gear families wear in the stands, on the sidelines, and around town. And with the right strategy, you can offer it all without extra work or equipment.

That’s why we created the Fanwear Best Practices Guide — a quick, printable playbook that shows you how to turn any team job into a full merch drop using the transfers you already order.

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. Whether you’re a shop just starting out or an enterprise-level decorator handling thousands of orders, getting jersey decoration right comes down to heat transfer application, sizing, and formula choice.

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.
