Hybrid and Sublimated Hockey Jerseys

Sublimation is a manufacturing process where the entire design of the jersey is directly infused into the fabric. Everything from the colors of the jersey, the striping, logos, numbers and player names become part of the fabric. Sublimation jerseys start out as digital designs - created on graphic design apps. Next, the design is printed on paper - in life size - using large format printers. The printed design is then pressed on to the fabric at high temperature and pressure. The heat and pressure convert the design into gas, which then bonds with the molecules on the fabric. Finally, the fabric panels are sewn together to create the finished jersey. 

 Combining the convenience and flexibility of sublimation with the best a traditional jersey has to offer. The hybrid provides the flexibility of sublimated cresting, numbering and names yet still provides the look of a traditional jersey with sewn in panels.  Limited in the colors that are provided as compared to a fully sublimated jersey.
