The design details of basketball uniforms cover multiple aspects such as fabric, style, color, size, and logo. The following is a specific introduction:
Fabric selection
Breathable and quick drying: High density mesh fabric is usually used, and breathable designs are made on sweat prone areas such as armpits and backs to ensure a breathability rate of no less than 3000g/m ²/24h, keeping players dry and comfortable.
Elasticity and durability: Side stitching often uses a four needle six thread technique, which has stretchability and a fabric stretch rate of at least 30%. It also has fast resilience to adapt to various movements of players.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable: Some basketball uniforms will be made of environmentally friendly materials such as recycled polyester.
Style Design
Collar and cuffs: The collar is usually wrapped with threaded cloth to prevent discomfort caused by sweat and skin friction; The cuffs are often made with seamless adhesive technology to avoid the tightness caused by old-fashioned elastic bands.
Bottom design: To prevent glare, the front hem of a basketball jersey is usually 3-5cm longer than a regular T-shirt to accommodate players’ large movements.
Shorts design: The shorts waistband can use FlyVent and other technologies to combine different knitted mesh, which is both safe and breathable. The front of the shorts will be equipped with ventilation holes at key positions, and the front panel will use hydrophobic four-way stretch weaving thread, while the back panel will use a mixed engineering woven mesh material.
Splicing and cutting: Some basketball jerseys add a 15 ° slit at the back of the sleeves to allow the athlete’s arms to move more freely. At the same time, they use three-dimensional cutting to fit the curves of human movement.
color matching
Distinguishing between home and away games: According to FIBA regulations, home and away team uniforms must use contrasting colors, such as light and dark combinations, to avoid two teams colliding and facilitate the distinction between spectators and referees.
Team characteristics: The color of the jersey is usually designed in combination with the local characteristics or team culture of the team.
Number and logo
Number size: According to FIBA regulations, the back number for adult players before a game must not be less than 20cm for clear identification by referees and spectators.
Printing process: The integrated digital printing form is often used to make the pattern more firm and without heavy adhesive feeling.
Team logo: The team emblem and other logos are usually printed or embroidered on the chest or cuffs of the jersey to highlight the team’s identity.
