How should a custom team tracksuit order be prepared?
A custom team tracksuit gives athletes a coordinated appearance during training, warm-ups, travel and pre-match activities. A successful team tracksuit is more than a ready-made garment with a crest added to it. Model, fabric, top-and-bottom configuration, size distribution, team colours and branding areas should be planned together around the way the team will use the product.
imajersey offers half-zip and full-zip tops as either a single top or a complete top-and-bottom set. Custom tracksuit production starts from ten pieces. Current designs and available configurations can be reviewed on the custom tracksuit collection. This guide explains the decisions a team manager should make before selecting a model.
Define the intended use first
The first decision is not colour but purpose. A top worn only before a match does not require the same planning as a complete set used at every training session. Decide when, how often and over which garments the tracksuit will be worn.
- Training: Freedom of movement and easy dressing are the priorities.
- Warm-up: A unified appearance and quick player identification are useful.
- Team travel: Comfortable fit and practical pockets become more important.
- Schools and academies: Age groups, sizing and simple distribution require planning.
- Corporate teams: Brand colours and consistent logo standards must be controlled.
If the tracksuit and match kit will share one visual identity, review colour and design choices through the custom jersey service at the beginning of the project.
Half zip or full zip?
A half-zip top is pulled over the head and opens to the chest. It works well for training and warm-up use while keeping a continuous front design. A full-zip top can be removed quickly over a match jersey. Because the zip divides the front panel, crest and pattern placement must be designed around it.
Consider whether players will wear the garment over a jersey or T-shirt, how quickly it must be removed and whether secure pockets are required. The red tracksuit, blue tracksuit, yellow tracksuit and green tracksuit pages show model and set choices on actual products.
Single top or complete tracksuit set?
A single top can be combined with existing black or shared-colour bottoms and may suit a limited budget. A complete top-and-bottom set provides a more consistent appearance for travel, official fixtures, school tournaments and club presentations. Top and bottom sizes should not be forced to match.
Collect upper and lower sizes in separate columns. A player who wears a large top may need medium or extra-large bottoms depending on fit and body proportions. One set size for everyone creates avoidable fitting problems in mixed squads.
What does scuba fabric offer?
The scuba fabric used for imajersey tracksuits has a flexible, structured and soft feel. It supports movement while helping the garment retain a clean team appearance. This makes it suitable for training, warm-up, travel and everyday athletic use.
Do not judge the fabric only by perceived thickness. Consider season, indoor or outdoor use and whether the garment will be worn over another layer. If the main requirement is protection in wet outdoor conditions, compare separate custom team raincoat options.
Build a controlled team colour system
Choose a primary colour, a secondary colour and one accent colour. The primary colour can cover the body, the secondary colour can define shoulders or side panels and the accent can appear around the zip or in small details. Simplifying the match-kit identity usually produces a more coherent tracksuit than using a different colour in every panel.
Place the crest, name and sponsor marks within safe areas that avoid zips, pockets and construction seams. A logo divided by a zip or text placed too close to a seam may not produce a clean result. The logo and sponsor placement guide explains visual hierarchy and readable spacing.
Prepare the correct artwork and name list
Supply the club crest as vector PDF, SVG, AI or EPS whenever possible. A small screenshot taken from a messaging application can reduce the clarity of fine lettering and outlines. Sponsor and school logos should be provided as separate files with their order of importance clearly stated.
If player names will be added, keep all spellings in one controlled sheet. Name, exact print text, top size, bottom size, model and quantity should appear in the same row. The team representative should verify capitalisation and special characters before approval.
Prepare a reliable size distribution
Everyday clothing size does not always produce the same fit in athletic tracksuits. Use the current measurement chart and compare chest width, body length, sleeve, waist and leg measurements with a comfortable garment. If the tracksuit will be worn over a jersey or sweatshirt, test the fit with the same layers.
A useful order sheet includes player name, print name, top size, bottom size, zip type, single-top or set choice and special notes. The team sizing and measurement guide provides a structured method for collecting this information.
Control design approval through one person
One authorised representative should communicate changes to the manufacturer. Separate instructions from several players can lead to version confusion. Collect internal feedback, combine it into one revision list and approve one named design file.
Check front and back views, sleeve colours, zip type, top-and-bottom coordination, crest position, spelling and the size-and-quantity sheet. The bulk teamwear planning guide provides an additional order-control checklist.
Minimum quantity and production timing
The minimum quantity for imajersey tracksuit models is ten pieces. Timing depends on artwork approval, final size distribution, model choice and production workload. The live category information states an average of 7–12 business days after design approval; the current schedule should still be confirmed when ordering.
For a tournament, school event or season opening, use the date on which garments must be checked and distributed as the internal deadline. Allow a buffer for transport and final list corrections.
Final order checklist
- Is the use case and season defined?
- Was half zip or full zip selected?
- Are single tops and complete sets counted separately?
- Were top and bottom sizes confirmed for every player?
- Are the correct crest and sponsor files ready?
- Were colours and branding positions approved?
- Does the order meet the ten-piece minimum?
- Was the current production and delivery date confirmed?
- Did one representative approve the final design in writing?
Conclusion: team tracksuits require a practical plan
A successful custom tracksuit order starts with the right model, verified upper and lower sizes, fabric suited to real use and controlled branding. When this information is collected in one sheet, design approval becomes faster and every team member receives the correct garment.
