Your team jersey is not just a piece of clothing. It affects:

Why Choosing the Right Sports Jersey Manufacturer Matters

On-field performance – breathability, stretch and moisture-wicking directly impact comfort and stamina.
Team identity and branding – colours, logos and patterns represent your academy, club or brand.
Player confidence – a professional-looking jersey makes players feel part of something bigger.
Long-term cost – cheap jerseys that fade, tear or lose shape quickly end up costing more over a season.

Working with a dedicated sports jersey manufacturer ensures that:

Designs can be fully customised (names, numbers, sponsors, club badges).
Fabrics and fits are chosen specifically for each sport.
Sizes are consistent across all batches and re-orders.
Bulk orders can be produced on schedule, even in season peaks.

Jaypee Sportswear combines custom design, performance fabrics and bulk manufacturing under one roof, so you deal with a single partner from first concept to final delivery.

Types of Sports Jerseys Jaypee Sportswear Manufactures

Different sports and playing conditions demand different jersey styles, fabrics and fits. As a specialised sports jersey manufacturer, Jaypee Sportswear produces a wide range of customised jerseys for teams and institutions.

Cricket Jerseys

Cricket has very specific needs due to longer match durations and varied formats.

Coloured T20/One-Day Jerseys
Lightweight, breathable polyester or performance blends
Sublimation printing for full-body graphics, gradients and sponsor logos
Custom names, numbers and league branding
Matching trousers/shorts if needed

Cricket Whites
Classic white/cream sets (jersey + pant)
Sweat-wicking fabrics that stay comfortable in long innings
Subtle branding, player names and numbers where allowed
Options for full-sleeve, half-sleeve and sweaters/hoodies to match

Football Jerseys

Football kits must perform under high-intensity running and changing weather.

Slim, athletic cuts with stretch for free movement
Mesh panels or perforations in high-sweat zones
Durable neck and sleeve construction to withstand pulling
Matching shorts and socks for a complete team kit

Volleyball, Basketball, Kabaddi and Other Team Sports

Jaypee also manufactures jerseys for:

Volleyball – sleeveless or half-sleeve tops with high mobility
Basketball – tank-style jerseys with deeper armholes and longer lengths
Kabaddi – close-fitting, stretchable jerseys that stay in place during tackles
Badminton, running, fitness – lightweight training tees and singlets

Each category is designed with the sport’s specific movements and regulations in mind.

Training & Practice Jerseys

Beyond match-day apparel, teams often need affordable practice jerseys:

Simpler designs with core colours and basic branding
Same fit and fabric quality as match jerseys, but optimised for daily wear and frequent washing
Ideal for academies, schools, and clubs with long training calendars

Jersey Fabrics & Printing Methods: What Goes Into a Quality Jersey

The two biggest technical decisions in sports jersey manufacturing are fabric choice and printing method.

Performance Fabrics

Common performance fabrics used in high-quality sports jerseys include:

Polyester (microfiber / interlock)
Lightweight and durable
Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-dry performance
Ideal for sublimation printing

Polyester blends (poly–spandex, poly–cotton blends)
Added stretch for sports needing more flexibility
Softer handfeel for athletes who prefer more comfort
Still compatible with most modern printing methods

High-performance sports fabrics are engineered to pull sweat away from the skin and dry quickly, helping players stay cooler and more comfortable during games.

Sublimation vs Screen Printing vs Other Methods

Dye Sublimation

Designs are first printed on special transfer paper and then transferred into the fabric using heat and pressure. The dyes turn into gas and bond with the polyester fibres at a molecular level, creating permanent prints that do not crack or peel.

Ideal for:
Full-coverage graphics
Complex patterns, gradients, flags and textures
Long-lasting colours that stay vibrant after many washes

Screen Printing / Vinyl

Ink or vinyl is applied on top of the fabric through screens or heat transfer.

Better suited for:
Simple logos or text
Single-colour or limited colour designs
Can be economical for certain use-cases but not as flexible for full graphic coverage.

At Jaypee Sportswear, sublimation is typically recommended for custom team jerseys, especially cricket and football kits, because it gives teams complete freedom on design with no extra cost per colour.

Our Sports Jersey Manufacturing Process: From Idea to Match Day

To make bulk ordering simple and predictable, Jaypee Sportswear follows a clear, step-by-step sports jersey manufacturing process.

Step 1: Initial Enquiry & Requirement Gathering

You share:

Sport and type of jersey (cricket, football, volleyball, etc.)
Number of players and approximate quantity
Preferred styles (round neck, V-neck, collar, sleeveless, etc.)
Design inspiration (reference jerseys, colours, logos, sponsors)
Target budget and expected delivery date

This helps the team recommend the right fabric, printing technique and construction for your use case.

Step 2: Design & Mockups

Jaypee’s design team converts your ideas into:

Digital jersey mockups showing front, back and sides
Multiple colour options if needed
Placement of logos, names, numbers and sponsors

At this stage you can:

Request changes to colours, patterns, fonts or placements
Finalise name and number lists for each player
Confirm sizes for each jersey based on standard size charts or your existing data

Step 3: Sample (Optional but Recommended for Big Orders)

For large bulk orders, you may choose to:

Approve a physical sample jersey before full production
Check fabric feel, fit, colours and logo clarity
Make final tweaks before the factory runs the entire batch

This step reduces risk and ensures everyone is aligned on expectations.

Step 4: Final Approval & Order Confirmation

Once:

The design is locked
Quantities and sizes are final
Any samples are approved

Jaypee confirms:

Final per-piece price
Production timeline and expected dispatch date
Payment terms and shipping details

Only after this confirmation does bulk production begin.

Step 5: Printing & Cutting

Designs are printed on sublimation transfer paper (or prepared for screen/other prints). White or base-colour fabric is cut into panels according to sizes and jersey style. Sublimation is done using industrial heat presses, converting ink into gas and embedding it permanently into the fabric surface.

Step 6: Stitching & Construction

Skilled stitching teams assemble:

Front and back panels, sleeves and collars
Neck, cuffs and hemlines with reinforced stitching
Side panels, mesh inserts and piping if part of the design

Quality stitching is key to durability, especially around high-stress areas like the neck, underarms and shoulders.

Step 7: Quality Check (QC)

Each batch goes through multiple checks, such as:

Fabric and colour consistency across all jerseys
Print accuracy (no misprints, smudges, or misaligned graphics)
Proper name and number alignment
Stitching and seam strength
Verification of sizes and total quantity

Any defective pieces are corrected or replaced before packing.

Step 8: Packing & Dispatch

Finally:

Jerseys are folded and packed (individually or in sets as per requirement). Labels and size tags are double-checked. Orders are consolidated, boxed and handed over to trusted logistics partners for delivery across India.

Bulk Order & Wholesale Process: How It Works

Because this is a wholesale sports jersey manufacturing page, here’s how the bulk side typically works with Jaypee Sportswear:

Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)
MOQs vary depending on design complexity, fabric type and sport. Team kits are usually ordered in full squads (plus extra pieces for substitutes and staff).

Bulk Discounts
Per-piece prices generally decrease as the quantity increases. Ordering for multiple teams or formats (home & away kits, training tees, etc.) often unlocks better overall pricing.

Lead Times
Standard lead times depend on the size of the order and the time of year (pre-season can be busier). Design approval speed directly impacts how fast production can start – locking designs early helps secure earlier delivery slots.

Reorders
Once a design is on file, future reorders are faster because only names, numbers and quantities typically change. This is ideal for academies and clubs that add new players mid-season or every year.

Quality Standards Jaypee Sportswear Follows

To be a trusted sports jersey manufacturer, quality control is non-negotiable. Jaypee Sportswear focuses on four main quality pillars:

Fabric Performance
Sweat-wicking, breathable fabrics suitable for Indian conditions
Appropriate GSM (fabric weight) for each sport and level of play
Colourfastness so jerseys stay vibrant after repeated washing

Stitching & Construction
Reinforced seams in high-movement areas
Clean, consistent stitching with minimal loose threads
Durable neck and sleeve finishes that don’t sag or lose shape quickly

Print Quality
Sharp lines and clear logos, even in detailed designs
Correct brand and sponsor colours (within fabric and process limitations)
No cracking, peeling or major fading under normal usage conditions, especially with sublimation jerseys where the design is embedded into the fibres.​

Size Consistency
Standardised size charts for youth, men and women
Consistency across batches so reorders match previous fits
Clear labelling and packaging to avoid mix-ups at team distribution

Wholesale Pricing: What Affects the Cost of Your Jerseys?

Instead of flat pricing, Jaypee Sportswear builds quotes based on real production costs. Key factors include:

Fabric Type & GSM
Premium performance fabrics and higher GSM typically cost more.
Special fabrics (e.g., compression, heavy-duty) can raise the unit price.

Printing Method & Design Complexity
Full-body sublimation with complex graphics vs simple single-colour chest prints.
Number of logos, gradients, patterns and custom elements.

Order Quantity & Sizes
Higher quantities lower the per-piece cost.
Extra-large sizes use more fabric and may be priced slightly higher in some cases.

Jersey Set vs Single Jersey
Jersey-only vs full kit (jersey + shorts, and possibly socks or tracksuits).

Add-Ons & Extras
Extra sponsor logos, patches, player initials, or special finishing.
Custom packaging, tags, or branding for resellers.

Delivery Timelines
Standard production vs urgent/rush orders (if available).
Rush production can sometimes involve premium charges to prioritise your job.

For accurate pricing, the best next step is to share your exact requirements (sport, quantity, design style, and timeline) so a tailored wholesale quote can be prepared.

How to Choose the Right Sports Jersey Manufacturer (Checklist)

Before finalising your sports jersey manufacturer, compare potential partners on these points:

Do they offer full customisation (not just logo placement)?
Can they show real samples or portfolio photos of previous work?
Are they transparent about fabric type, GSM and printing method?
Do they give realistic lead times and honour them?
Is communication clear regarding design approvals, size lists and payments?
Do they provide consistent quality across reorders?

Jaypee Sportswear is built to tick these boxes for teams that want a dependable, long-term jersey partner rather than one-off transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom jerseys?

MOQs depend on the specific product, design and sport. Team orders usually start from a full squad set, with options to add a few extra pieces for substitutes, staff or later additions. Share your expected quantity and Jaypee can advise on the most economical approach.

Q2. How long does production usually take?

Lead times vary by season, order size and design complexity. The biggest factor is how quickly designs and size lists are finalised. The sooner you confirm artwork and player details, the smoother the manufacturing schedule and on-time delivery.

Q3. Can you match existing jerseys for reorders?

Yes, if you already have jerseys from Jaypee Sportswear, the same designs can typically be reprinted and reproduced with matching sizes and colours (subject to fabric availability). It’s helpful to share a clear photo or sample of the existing jersey.

Q4. Are sublimation jerseys durable?

Sublimation embeds the design into the fibres of polyester fabric, creating vibrant prints that resist cracking and peeling far better than many surface-level printing methods. With proper washing and care, sublimated jerseys usually maintain colour and appearance over many matches and training sessions.​

Q5. Do you only manufacture cricket jerseys?

No. While cricket jerseys (including whites and coloured kits) are a major category, Jaypee Sportswear also manufactures football, volleyball, basketball, kabaddi and general training jerseys, along with related sportswear products as per requirement.
