What is club jersey fabric?

Club jersey fabric is the Jaypee tier at ₹499 per jersey, and it has one fabric, GRID-E. It is a 170 GSM grid micro knit that is smooth, easy to wash and made for team polos and indoor sport.

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

I keep one fabric in this tier on purpose. GRID-E fills the gap between the Pro finishes at ₹599 and the Budget-friendly basics at ₹399, and for a lot of clubs it is exactly the right size of spend. See the jersey fabrics hub for the whole range.

What is GRID-E fabric made of?

GRID-E is a grid micro knit made of 100% polyester, with rows of tiny raised squares across a smooth face. It weighs 170 GSM, which sits in the structured, longer-lasting end of the jersey range.

Sublimated team jerseys usually fall between 120 and 190 GSM. Lighter fabrics feel cooler, and heavier ones feel more structured. At 170, GRID-E has a body that keeps its shape on a polo collar or a club jersey, without feeling heavy like a 220 GSM hoodie fabric. The GRID-E page has the swatch details.

The raised squares give the surface a light texture you can feel, while the face stays smooth enough for crisp prints. There are no holes, so the fabric looks solid and neat.

It is easy to wash. A polyester knit like this one dries quickly after a wash and does not need ironing, which suits a club that hands out kits and gets them back every week. For more on polyester itself, see this polyester overview.

Does club jersey fabric have UV, wicking and anti-microbial finishes?

No. GRID-E does not carry the UV protection, moisture-wicking or anti-microbial finishes found in our Elite and Pro fabrics. We tell customers this early, because it decides whether Club is right for you.

The finishes add extra performance on top of the base polyester. If your team plays long matches outdoors in the Tamil Nadu sun, step up to Pro. If your team plays indoors, in short sessions or in shade, GRID-E does the job well.

GRID-E spec table

This table lists the facts in one place, so you can check GRID-E against your needs before you order.

Two things stand out. The price is ₹100 below Pro, and the fabric has no mesh cells. That makes it more of a smart, clean kit than a hot-weather running kit.

Which sports suit GRID-E jersey fabric?

GRID-E suits badminton and table tennis best, and it works for tennis, cricket, volleyball, throwball and esports. On our fit scale from 1 to 3, it scores 3 for badminton and table tennis.

• Badminton and table tennis: a 3 out of 3, because indoor court play suits a smooth, closed knit.
• Tennis, cricket, volleyball, throwball and esports: a 2 out of 3, so it works well without being the top pick.
• Football, basketball, running, hockey and futsal: a 1 out of 3, because these sports run hot and a mesh does better.

It is also a strong choice for team polos, club uniforms and corporate uniforms. See our guides on corporate jerseys and cricket jerseys if your use is on that list. For every sport in one table, check jersey fabric for each sport.

What do you gain and give up against Pro?

Against Pro, you save ₹100 per jersey and give up the UV, wicking and anti-microbial finishes. The closest Pro fabric is RHOMB-H, a 175 GSM micro rhombus knit with the same smooth, closed look.

If your players sweat a lot, or play outdoors for an hour or more, the finishes are worth ₹100. If they play badminton or table tennis in a hall, you may never feel the difference. Read Pro vs Club jerseys for the full comparison, and our Pro jersey fabrics guide to see all three Pro options.

What do you gain and give up against Elite and Budget?

Against Elite at ₹699, you save ₹200 and give up the finishes and the specialised QUARTZ-A and HEXA-B knits. Against Budget-friendly at ₹399, you pay ₹100 more and gain a smoother, more finished fabric.

The table below puts GRID-E next to the nearest fabrics above and below it.

LINEA-S at ₹399 is also a closed knit with no holes, at 180 GSM, so the real difference from GRID-E is the surface and the price. Choose GRID-E when you want a neater, smoother kit. Choose LINEA-S when ₹100 per jersey matters more. We have written Elite vs Club jerseys and Club vs Budget jerseys, and the Elite and budget fabric guides sit next to this one.

How should you wash and look after GRID-E jerseys?

Wash GRID-E inside out in cool water and dry it in the shade. Sublimated polyester needs no special care, and the print is part of the fibre, so it does not crack or peel. Our homepage claims no fading even after 100 washes.

Because the surface is smooth and the knit is tight, sweat and mud rinse out easily. For a club that shares kits across a season, that saves time. Avoid high heat in a dryer or iron directly on the printed face, since heat is the one thing that can disturb any polyester fabric. The jersey fabric guide has more care tips.

Is GRID-E a good choice for school and corporate teams?

Yes, for indoor and low-intensity use. A neat grid texture and a solid colour field look smart on a polo, and 170 GSM holds a collar shape well.

Schools often pick it for staff and prefect polos, and companies pick it for office sports days and annual meets. For school sports days in the open, the school jerseys page lists the range, and the budget tier is usually the better fit for younger students.

How much does a Club jersey team order cost?

Multiply the squad by ₹499. These are starting totals with names, numbers and logo included, and bigger orders get a lower rate per piece.

• A badminton club of 8 players: 8 x ₹499 = ₹3,992.
• A cricket team of 15: 15 x ₹499 = ₹7,485.
• An office team of 20 in polos: 20 x ₹499 = ₹9,980.
• A school club of 25 members: 25 x ₹499 = ₹12,475.

The minimum order is 5 pieces. You get a free mockup in 24 hours, delivery is 7 to 10 working days after design approval, and women’s fit is available. Use the size chart to pick sizes from XS to 4XL.

When should you choose the Club tier?

Choose Club when you want a clean, solid-looking kit that is easy to look after and you don’t need the sports finishes. It is ideal for indoor sport, polos and uniforms.

1. Your sport is badminton, table tennis or a similar indoor game.
2. You are ordering polos or uniforms for a club or company.
3. Your players don’t play long matches in direct sun.
4. Your budget sits around ₹499 per jersey.

Ask for a swatch on WhatsApp if you want to feel the raised-square texture before ordering. We deliver to Chennai, all of Tamil Nadu, India and abroad, and you can see our custom jerseys in Chennai page for the K.K. Nagar point. When you are ready, contact us for a free mockup.
