THE GAME PLAN
DEAR SPORTS JERSEY DECORATORS,
It’s a special moment when players receive their jerseys for the first time,
because they’re receiving an identity within a team. Ultimately, jerseys
create teammates and memories that can last a lifetime.
With so many teams looking to create
their own identity through uniforms,
we have expanded our number style
offerings to meet that demand.
We want you to be able to offer your
teams custom looks without the
custom price. A jersey alone might
look good, but it’s the number style
that makes them look great.
THE GAME PLAN
PAUL SABATINI - Stahls' Sports Marketing Coordinator
MUCH SUCCESS WITH YOUR TEAM PRINTING SEASONS.
From product suggestions to application and alignment,
you will find a number of useful, time-saving decorating
tips throughout this booklet.
BE SURE TO LOOK FOR "SABATINI SAYS"...
In this catalog you will find decoration ideas for jerseys, practice gear,
and fan wear. This includes number style suggestions for various sports,
as well as material and size recommendations. Stahls' will continue to
be your partner, providing you with the products and services necessary
for team personalization, so you will save time and money while
boosting your sales.

BASKETBALL
Basketball has one of the largest participation
rates of any sport in the US, with more than
4 million playing in organized leagues, and
nearly 6 million on a school or college team.
Looks like all those basketball hoops in
driveways and parks are paying off.
Number sizes are particular in basketball,
and traditionally use only single and double
digits between 0 and 5. You may have to
consider numbers on players' shorts as well.
Checking with your local sports league

PRACTICE & FAN WEAR
Every player in each sport has at least one practice garment
and a set of spirit wear representing their team or school.
In fact, most teams have entire cheer sections both on
and off the field. Every fan and supporter should
have at least one item that shows the world
who they’re cheering for...
PRACTICE GEAR generally doesn’t have decorating
regulations, so get creative when
personalizing it. It’s important to
consider most practice garments’
properties. Make sure to use heat
transfer materials that are
lightweight and stretchable. This
will give players the ability to
retain the full range of motion
that’s so important in moisture
wicking and compression wear.
...That’s where you come in.
PREPARATION + COMMITMENT = SUCCESS
“Try a Stahls' Print Perfect Pad or a garment pillow to prevent marks
on letters and numbers. It’s also great for heat printing near heavy
seams, zippers, buttons, or as an insert for reversible jerseys.”
SABATINI SAYS | PRINT PERFECTLY
FOR FANS, anything goes. Use glitters, metallic sheens, or any stand-out material
or color; just let your imagination take over. In the stands or in the streets, decorate to make
sure they’re noticed everywhere they go by letting the garment do the cheering.
