THE HEAT TRANSFER AND THE REVOLUTION OF FOOTBALL KITS.
In the exciting world of football, kits are much more than simple sportswear. They are symbols of identity, passion, and belonging. More and more, teams seek to stand out with unique and customized designs. In this context, heat transfer has emerged as one of the most popular and effective techniques for creating original and durable football kits.
Heat transfer consists of images or designs printed on a special carrier sheet and then transferred onto a textile garment through heat, time, and pressure. This process allows the creation of fully customized, full-color designs on a wide variety of fabrics, from polyester to cotton, acrylics, nylon, blends, and more.
HOW DOES THE APPLICATION OF A HEAT TRANSFER WORK?
- Design: A digital design is created to be transferred onto the garment.
- Printing: The design is printed on a special transparent carrier sheet.
- Transfer: The printed sheet is placed on the garment and applied using a heat press. Heat, time, and pressure make the print adhere to the fabric.

COMPARISON OF TEXTILE TRANSFER WITH OTHER TECHNIQUES:
Direct Screen Printing: Screen printing is less flexible for complex designs and frequent changes. The colors are not as opaque because the garments absorb the ink. More errors appear when aligning different colors, and photographic images cannot be reproduced.
Sublimation: Sublimation offers digital image quality but is limited to polyester fabrics and requires light-colored garments with few fine details. Therefore, its quality is lower, with less vivid colors and more limitations.
Textile Vinyl: Textile vinyl is more similar to a textile transfer than the previous techniques, but it has a stiffer feel and is less precise for very detailed designs or thin letters. Textile vinyl cracks with washing, and the colors may vary when trying to achieve a specific Pantone color.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRANSFER?
The choice of transfer type will depend on several factors, such as the garment’s fabric, the design, the number of items to customize, and the budget. Our designers will advise you to choose the best option for your project.
CONCLUSION
Heat transfer is an invaluable tool for customizing football kits and creating unique and striking designs. Thanks to its many advantages, heat transfer has become the preferred choice of many sports teams worldwide. If you are looking for a way to make your team stand out, heat transfer is the perfect solution.
