What is elite jersey fabric?

Elite jersey fabric is the top tier of the Jaypee range, priced at ₹699 per jersey. It has two fabrics, QUARTZ-A and HEXA-B, and both carry UV protection, moisture-wicking and anti-microbial finishes.

Both are 100% polyester and printed by full sublimation, so the ink becomes part of the fibre and can’t crack or peel. The price includes your names, numbers and logo, and every size from XS to 4XL costs the same.

I make these two for teams who want the best we offer, whether that is a final, a league season or a squad that trains five days a week. If you are still comparing all eight fabrics, start at the jersey fabrics hub.

Who should buy Elite jersey fabric?

Elite suits teams that play often, play hard or play in the heat, and teams that want the jersey to look and feel premium. If your players wear the kit twice a week or more, the finishes and the heavier build pay for themselves over a season.

Typical Elite buyers are football and cricket clubs, college teams going into a tournament, academies that want one training kit to last a year, and corporate sports teams. A squad that is buying for a single day event can usually spend less.

The same three finishes also appear in our Pro tier, so Elite is not the only way to get UV, wicking and anti-microbial protection. What Elite adds is the knit itself, as the next two sections explain.

What is QUARTZ-A diamond knit fabric?

QUARTZ-A is a diamond knit at 180 GSM, the heaviest of the Elite pair. It feels structured and holds its shape, which makes it the pick for finals and tournament kits.

The diamond pattern gives the surface a fine texture, and the weight means the jersey drapes cleanly instead of clinging. Prints sit sharp on it, so detailed logos and sponsor panels look clean. Our full QUARTZ-A page shows the swatch details.

QUARTZ-A is also the fabric we suggest for training jerseys, warm-up tops, track uniforms and athleisure, because 180 GSM stands up to frequent washing. It is closed knit, so it does not have the open cells of HEXA-B. In heat, that means a little less airflow, and the finishes do more of the work.

On our own fit scores, QUARTZ-A rates highest for cricket and esports, with a 3 out of 3 for each. It scores 2 for football, basketball, hockey, handball and most court sports. It is a weaker fit for kabaddi, running and kho-kho, where lighter fabrics do better.

What is HEXA-B honeycomb football mesh?

HEXA-B is a honeycomb football mesh at 160 GSM, with open hexagon cells that let air pass through. It is our preferred fabric for football, and it is the better Elite choice for any sport where you run a lot.

The open cells allow air and sweat vapour to move through the cloth, which is simple physics, and the lower 160 GSM adds to that. On a turf pitch in Chennai in May, you will notice the difference over a full match. The HEXA-B page has close-up details.

Our fit scores put HEXA-B at 3 out of 3 for cricket, football, basketball, hockey, handball, running and futsal. It also works well for rugby and kho-kho at 2 out of 3. It is a weaker fit for badminton, tennis, esports and table tennis, where a closed knit is the better choice.

If you cannot decide between the two, the QUARTZ-A vs HEXA-B page compares them head to head.

Elite jersey fabric spec table

This table puts the two Elite fabrics side by side so you can see where they match and where they differ. They share the same price and finishes, and differ in knit and weight.

Because the finishes and price are identical, your choice comes down to knit and sport. Pick HEXA-B for movement and heat. Pick QUARTZ-A for a heavier feel and a polished finish.

Which sports suit Elite jersey fabrics?

HEXA-B suits football, futsal, cricket, basketball, hockey, handball and running, and QUARTZ-A suits cricket, esports and finals kits. Between them, they cover a wide spread of team sports.

• Football and futsal: HEXA-B, with the honeycomb mesh built for the sport. See football jerseys.
• Cricket: QUARTZ-A for a formal finals look, HEXA-B for long days in the field. See cricket jerseys.
• Basketball: HEXA-B for airflow on court. See basketball jerseys.
• Training and warm-up wear: QUARTZ-A, since 180 GSM stands up to frequent washing.
• Running and track: HEXA-B for events, QUARTZ-A for track uniforms.

What do you gain and give up by choosing Elite over Pro?

You gain a heavier or more specialised knit and a premium feel for ₹100 more per jersey. You do not gain extra finishes, because Pro fabrics carry the same three.

The Pro tier at ₹599 includes DOTTA-F, a pinhole dot mesh at 160 GSM that is close to HEXA-B for football and running. If your sport is football or running and your budget is tight, DOTTA-F is a very sensible step down. If you want the open honeycomb cells or the 180 GSM diamond knit, only Elite has them.

Read Elite vs Pro jerseys for the full comparison, or the Pro jersey fabrics guide to see what ₹599 buys.

What do you give up by choosing Elite over Club or Budget?

You pay ₹200 more than Club and ₹300 more than Budget-friendly per jersey, and in return you get the three finishes that GRID-E, LINEA-S and PINDOT-N do not have. For hot outdoor sport, that is the biggest change.

The Club fabric GRID-E at ₹499 is a smooth, easy-wash knit that suits polos, badminton and table tennis, so Elite is overkill for most indoor play. The budget fabrics at ₹399 are right for gully cricket, school days and first kits.

We have written comparisons for both: Elite vs Club jerseys and Elite vs Budget jerseys. Read the one that matches your next step down.

How much does an Elite jersey team order cost?

Multiply the squad by ₹699. Prices include names, numbers and logo, and bigger orders get a lower rate per piece, so these are the starting totals.

• A futsal squad of 10 players: 10 x ₹699 = ₹6,990.
• A cricket team of 15 including reserves: 15 x ₹699 = ₹10,485.
• A football club of 18 players: 18 x ₹699 = ₹12,582.
• A college basketball team of 12: 12 x ₹699 = ₹8,388.

The minimum order is 5 pieces. You get a free mockup in 24 hours, and delivery is 7 to 10 working days after design approval. Jersey and shorts can be different sizes, and women’s fit is available. See the size chart before you order.

When should you choose the Elite tier?

Choose Elite when the kit will be used often, in heat, or at an event where looks matter. Choose a cheaper tier when the kit is for a short event or a first season.

1. Your team plays or trains more than twice a week.
2. You play football, futsal, cricket or basketball outdoors in the Tamil Nadu sun.
3. You want a finals or tournament kit that looks premium.
4. You plan to reuse the jersey for more than one season.

Ask for swatches on WhatsApp if you want to feel both fabrics before ordering. We deliver to Chennai, all of Tamil Nadu, India and abroad, and our Chennai page lists the K.K. Nagar point. For background on why sublimation holds up, see the polyester overview, or contact us to start your mockup.
