Behind 2,000 Customized Soccer Uniforms: Helping New Zealand Soccer Clubs Take Off

Encounter: What New Zealand football clubs need

As football becomes popular all over the world, the passion for football in New Zealand is also rising. As an influential local football club in New Zealand, Auckland FC has been committed to providing players with the best equipment to help them perform at their best on the field. With the new season approaching and the team expanding, they are in urgent need of customizing 2,000 high-quality football uniforms.



They have clear and strict requirements for the choice of customized football uniforms. Not only do they expect the football uniforms to perfectly display the club's unique culture and spirit in design, but they also have extremely high standards for the comfort, breathability and durability of the fabrics. After all, these factors are directly related to the players' experience and performance in games and daily training. At the same time, for the logo craftsmanship on the jerseys, they hope to use a unique way to make it both eye-catching and durable.

After deciding to customize football uniforms, the club's procurement team started a global supplier screening journey. They collected a large amount of supplier information through various channels such as Internet searches, industry exhibition surveys, and peer recommendations. After a preliminary evaluation of many suppliers, more than a dozen of them entered their scope of investigation. These suppliers come from different countries and regions, each with its own advantages and characteristics. Some attract customers with price advantages, some are known for their rich design experience, and some excel in fabric quality.

In further communication and comparison, our company stood out. When they browsed our website, they were attracted by our rich and diverse football uniform customization cases. These cases cover football uniforms of different styles and craftsmanship, fully demonstrating our design capabilities and production strength. At the same time, the detailed product introduction, professional process description and customer feedback on our independent website also gave them a preliminary recognition of our professionalism and reliability. In addition, our timely and professional online customer service team answered their questions about the customization process, fabric selection, process details, etc. at the first time, laying a good foundation for further cooperation between the two parties.



Craftsmanship demonstration: the charm of thermal sublimation and badge embroidery logo

In terms of craftsmanship, we used two techniques, thermal sublimation and badge embroidery logo, to create a unique football uniform for the New Zealand Football Club.

Thermal sublimation technology is a highlight of our customization this time. This technology uses the sublimation characteristics of disperse dyes to directly transform the dyes from solid to gas under high temperature and high pressure, and then evenly penetrate into the fabric fibers of the football uniform. Compared with traditional printing technology, thermal sublimation has many incomparable advantages. Traditional printing often only attaches the pattern to the surface of the fabric, which is prone to fading and falling off after repeated washing and friction. However, thermal sublimation technology has strong dyeing and clear patterns. Even after long-term wearing and multiple washings, it can still maintain bright colors and clear patterns, making the football uniforms always as new.

In addition, thermal sublimation technology can also achieve very delicate color transitions and rich pattern details. Whether it is the club's iconic team logo color gradient or the complex lines and patterns on the jersey, thermal sublimation can accurately restore it, making the overall visual effect of the football uniform more vivid and realistic, adding a unique charm to the team.

In addition to the thermal sublimation technology, we use the badge  embroidery process for the logo processing of football jerseys. This process uses advanced embroidery machines and high-quality embroidery threads to carefully embroider the club's logo on the jersey. The badge embroidery logo is not only exquisite and three-dimensional, but also can bring a strong visual impact to people. More importantly, it greatly enhances the quality and grade of the football jersey. Compared with ordinary printed logos, embroidered logos are more durable and less prone to wear and tear. Even in fierce competitions, they can always remain intact and clear.

During the embroidery process, we strictly control every detail, from the density of the stitches to the direction of the stitches, which have been carefully designed and debugged. Each stitch is closely connected, making the edges of the logo neat and smooth, and the lines smooth and natural. At the same time, we selected high-quality embroidery threads that match the club's theme colors. These threads have good gloss and wear resistance, which not only makes the logo more eye-catching, but also ensures that it will not fade or break during long-term use.

Customization process: Care from design to production

After confirming the intention of cooperation, we quickly formed a special service team composed of senior designers, process experts and production management personnel, and devoted ourselves to the customization of football uniforms.

During the design stage, the designers had many in-depth communications with the club's management, coaching team and player representatives. Through online meetings, email exchanges and video presentations, we learned in detail about the club's development history, cultural concepts, team spirit and players' personalized needs and wearing experience expectations for football uniforms. For example, the club emphasized that a unique line design in their team logo represents the team's courageous spirit, and hoped to highlight this element in the jersey design; the players reported that in previous games, the shoulders were frequently active, and they hoped that the design of the football uniforms would be looser and more comfortable in the shoulder without affecting the overall sports performance.




Based on these feedbacks and the current popular trends in football uniform design, the designers carefully conceived multiple design plans. Each plan includes different color combinations, pattern layouts and detail processing, aiming to fully demonstrate the unique charm of the club. After repeated modifications and improvements, a set of design plans that were highly recognized by all members of the club were finally determined. This scheme is based on the traditional main color of the club, with bright contrasting colors as embellishments, making the football uniform visually more eye-catching and vibrant.

In the production process, we strictly control every quality detail to ensure that 2,000 football uniforms can meet the highest quality standards. Starting from the procurement of raw materials, suppliers have been strictly screened and evaluated. We selected high-quality high-performance sports fabrics, which not only have excellent breathability and sweat absorption, can quickly discharge the sweat generated by players during exercise, keep the body dry and comfortable, but also have good elasticity and wear resistance, and can adapt to high-intensity competition and training needs. Each batch of fabrics must undergo strict quality inspections before entering the factory, including fabric composition analysis, color fastness testing, tensile strength testing, etc. Only fabrics that fully meet the standards can enter the production process.


 

In the process of thermal sublimation and Badge embroidery logo production, we arranged experienced technical workers to operate and equipped with advanced production equipment. In the sublimation process, technicians precisely control parameters such as temperature, pressure and time according to the characteristics of the fabric and the requirements of the pattern to ensure that the dye can evenly penetrate into the fabric fiber, achieve perfect color presentation and clear restoration of the pattern. At the same time, each football jersey after sublimation is carefully inspected to prevent problems such as color deviation and blurred pattern.

In order to ensure that 2,000 football jerseys can be delivered on time, we have developed a detailed production plan and progress tracking table. Production managers monitor and adjust the production progress every day to solve various problems that arise in the production process in a timely manner. For example, during the production process, an embroidery machine broke down. If it is not solved in time, it will affect the entire production progress. The production manager immediately organized maintenance personnel to repair it, and deployed some equipment and personnel from other production lines to ensure that the embroidery work can continue. At the same time, we also maintain close communication with logistics suppliers and arrange transportation matters in advance to ensure that the football jerseys can be delivered to New Zealand quickly and safely after production is completed.



Customer feedback: The club's voice of satisfaction

When the 2,000 custom football uniforms were delivered to the club on time, their excitement and satisfaction were beyond words. After receiving the goods, the club leaders immediately inspected and accepted them. They spoke highly of the quality, craftsmanship and design of the football uniforms, praising our team for not only perfectly realizing their design ideas, but also achieving the ultimate in details, exceeding their expectations.

The club leader said excitedly, the thermal sublimation technology makes the patterns and colors so bright and vivid, and the Zhangzai embroidered logo is even more exquisite, which greatly improves the overall quality and grade of the football uniforms, making our team more eye-catching on the field. ”

After trying on the football uniforms, the players also gave good reviews. They said that the fabric of the football uniforms is very comfortable, with excellent breathability and sweat absorption. They can always keep their bodies dry during training and competitions, and will not feel uncomfortable due to the accumulation of sweat. Moreover, the football uniforms are tailored to fit very well, neither too loose to affect athletic performance, nor too tight to restrict body movements, allowing them to fully display their technical level on the court.

"This football uniform is really one of the most comfortable football uniforms I have ever worn." A main player shared excitedly, "During training, I can clearly feel its breathability, and even if I sweat a lot, I don’t feel stuffy. Moreover, it has good elasticity, and I don’t feel any restraint when doing various movements, allowing me to focus more on the game. I believe that wearing such football uniforms, we will definitely achieve better results in the new season! ”

In addition to being satisfied with the football uniforms themselves, the club also fully affirmed our services. From the initial communication and design, to the quality control and progress tracking during the production process, and finally to the on-time delivery, our team has always maintained a professional, efficient and responsible attitude, allowing the club to feel our sincerity and dedication.

Moreover, you are always able to respond to our questions and needs in a timely manner. This efficient communication and service makes us full of confidence in this cooperation.
