The Benefits of Team Uniforms in Sports

The Benefits of Team Uniforms in Sports

Team uniforms are a universal aspect of sports across the globe. While the physical outfits’ colours and logos vary greatly throughout different sports and teams, the concept remains the same— a desire to stand apart from other players and stand united in the game. Jerseys are imperative for coaches, fans and referees to identify specific players by their numbers. They’re critical to establishing a team brand at sporting competitions and other events. Beyond looking sharp on the rink or the playing field, there are a number of other reasons why team uniforms are important for success. Building Camaraderie As anyone who’s played on a sports team at some point in their lives can attest, there’s no better feeling than showing up to a game as one unified team. Uniforms contribute to team spirit, allowing players to feel better bonded and show up as one team. Your team uniform is what gives you your super-power feeling! Engaging with Fans Another key aspect to the success of a team is allowing fans to better identify with the players and show their support. No matter if the team is playing for a handful of parents or an arena of supporters, the outcome remains the same. Since most fans aren’t able to directly participate in the sport themselves, team apparel allows them to still feel like a part of the game. A strong community of supporters is key to the success of a team, and a cohesive look ties it all together. What team’s jersey do you wear? At AllRush, we’re big Calgary Flames fans; you’ll notice several Calgary Flames jerseys hanging in our office. Improving Performance The concept of “look good, feel good” has long defined how the way we present on the outside can have a significant impact on our confidence, outlook and general happiness. For players on a team, confidence plays an important role in the way a player shows up in a game. Studies have shown that wearing red can lead to better performance in competition. By dressing for success, teams can set themselves up to play a better game. With a number of options for custom apparel, we’ve got you covered. We help teams look good, so they can play better!

The Difference Between Heat Press, Silkscreen Printing and Embroidery Options for Custom Printed Apparel

The Difference Between Heat Press, Silkscreen Printing and Embroidery Options for Custom Printed Apparel

Are you looking to get your logo or custom design printed on apparel? Having trouble deciding between the different application options? We can help! There are three main types of print application options for apparel at AllRush; we offer heat press, silkscreen printing and embroidery options. Each option is meant for a different desired result. Silkscreen At AllRush, we’re always looking for what’s new—new products, new print or embellishment techniques and new, fun ways to create designs so that we’re keeping up with customer demands and industry trends. Silkscreen printing is the most cost-effective when running larger quantities. Prints have a smooth soft texture and are durable for longer wear and tear. We offer plastisol ink, glow in the dark, soft hand ink, distressed effect, tone on tone and metallic options. Visit our silkscreen webpage to see examples of these options. Screen printing works best on cotton or polyester fabric or a blend of the two. It’s perfect for t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies, tanks and more! Embroidery When deciding to go with embroidery, the most important thing to consider is the type of fabric you’re using. When choosing your fabric you need to consider the weight of the embroidery design. The fabric needs to be strong enough to hold the design. Looser fabrics are less able to hold the threads. If you want to use a specific type of fabric, you need to select a design that is suitable for the weight of that fabric. Letters should not be smaller than .25” or they will not embroider well and you won’t get the desired result. Be sure to have a simple design— nothing too intricate and try to stay away from gradient colours. The simpler, the better! Embroidery is used to decorate hats, polos, luggage, bags and more. It provides a classy, sophisticated and luxurious look perfect for company logos on polo shirts and hats. We can do cresting, puff embroidery and more! Heat press Heat printing goes where other decorating methods can’t with heat transfer materials designed for application on a variety of items and with unique placements. Heat press is great for hats, pant legs and sleeves including wrap-around designs. Heating printing can be done on many different fabric types and is certainly the most versatile of the three options. Heat press is perfect for low quantities, large amounts of vibrant colours and complex designs. It can also be used to add name bars to your sporting goods. There are so many different products and placement you can choose from, so get creative! If you’re feeling extra fancy, we can even do glitter or reflective heat printing! Still not sure what option is best for your project? Give us a call at 403-216-5464 or email info@allrush.ca and one of our apparel specialists will guide you through the process and help you get the best results possible.
