Sublimated Patch Combo
What is a Sublimated Patch
A sublimated patch is a custom fabric patch where the design is printed directly into the patch material using sublimation.
This means the color becomes part of the patch fabric instead of sitting on top like DTF. It gives the logo or number a smooth, lightweight, full-color finish.
Sublimated patches are a good option for teams that want a clean printed look with more structure than regular DTF, but at a lower cost than embroidery or tackle twill.
Depending on the jersey package, the sublimated patch can be applied by stitching or heat press.
What Sublimated Patch Looks Like on Each Jersey Area
Sublimated Front Logo Patch
The front logo is the main team logo placed on the chest of the jersey.
A sublimated patch works well for front logos because it can show full-color artwork, gradients, detailed shapes, and small design elements. It gives the jersey a cleaner and more finished look than basic printed graphics.
Best for:
Team logos, club crests, school logos, sponsor logos, custom artwork.
Look:
A full-color fabric patch placed on the front chest.
Twill Back Name Bar
The back name bar is the player name area across the upper back.
For embroidery patch customization, the name can be stitched onto a name bar patch and attached to the jersey. This gives a more classic hockey jersey appearance.
Best for:
Player last names, captain names, premium team uniforms.
Look:
A stitched name bar patch across the upper back, above the number.
Twill Back Number
The back number is the large player number on the back of the jersey.
Embroidery patch numbers can give the jersey a bold and premium finish, but they are usually heavier and more expensive than DTF or sublimated patch numbers.
Best for:
Premium player numbers, special edition jerseys, high-end team uniforms.
Look:
Large stitched patch number centered on the back.
Twill Sleeve Number
The sleeve number is a player number placed on the sleeve.
Embroidery patch sleeve numbers can be used when the team wants a premium finish, but they may feel heavier than DTF or sublimated patch numbers.
Best for:
Premium team jerseys, special edition jerseys, high-end custom uniforms.
Look:
Medium-size stitched patch number on the sleeve, usually matching the back number style.
