Comments for The Brands With The Three Stripes at http://www.designfootball.com , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.designfootball.com Sun, 26 May 2013 06:38:30 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.designfootball.com/260-the-brands-with-the-three-stripes/#comment-961 Sorry, when I say "in anything other than watermarks and patterns", I'm actually including hoops, stripes, sashes and the like. I should have made that clearer. What I have a problem with is sublimation being used for badges and sponsors - though I'm ok with sublimated sponsors on shorts. I would say virtually all of Nike & adidas's range use either embroidered or, now far more commonly, heat transferred/printed badges and heat transferred sponsors. I was also a little bit harsh in the derogatory way I spoke about teamwear brands that sublimate badges and sponsors. For a lot of amateur teams this offers the most cost-effective solution - with embroidered/heat-transferred badges/sponsors also provided as an option - so I should have considered that rather than focusing entirely on my own sartorial preference. - Jay29ers Tue, 15 May 2012 10:52:34 +0100 http://www.designfootball.com/260-the-brands-with-the-three-stripes/#comment-944 Hey Jay, You made some interesting points above, but your comments on sublimation are hugely inaccurate... "Sublimation is a cheap printing technique now generally only used - in anything other than watermarks or patterns - by downmarket teamwear brands." Out of all of Nike's club kits this season (Globally), there are only around 5 shirts that are not sublimated. So around 95% of their kits ARE sublimated. It's actually the most common way of executing graphics, stripes, hoops etc. Thanks. - Johnny Wishbone Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:39:53 +0100
