A basketball jersey is sleeveless with deep armholes, so the arms move freely and the binding at the neck and armholes does most of the work. Clubs, schools, leagues and recreation programmes buy it as a set with shorts, often reversible so one shirt serves as two practice colours or home and away. A basketball jersey manufacturer in Bangladesh prices a reversible very differently from a single layer, so that decision comes first.
Garments Hub BD can ask each factory to price single layer and reversible builds on the same comparison sheet, so the gap is plain before sampling starts. Sample costs come with the price and are credited against the order on most runs, which matters on a reversible, where sampling takes longer.
Kinds of basketball jersey
Single layer sublimated jersey
One layer of polyester mesh or interlock, printed edge to edge with the design, names and numbers. Choose it for league kits with full colour art; it is the lighter and cheaper build.
Reversible double layer jersey
Two layers in contrasting colours, joined at the neck, armhole and hem bindings so either face can be worn outside. Choose it for practice squads and programmes that need two colours per player; it uses twice the fabric.
Side panel jersey
Contrast mesh panels run from armhole to hem for airflow and a sharper silhouette. Each panel is a separate piece, so panel and body colours are matched at the lab dip stage.
Tackle twill jersey
Dyed mesh with numbers and letters cut from polyester twill and stitched down with a zigzag edge. Choose it for a classic raised look on single layer game shirts; the twill adds weight and sewing time.
What to send a basketball jersey manufacturer in Bangladesh
- Armholes and binding
- Armhole depth per size, binding width and binding fabric. A deep armhole needs binding with stretch and recovery, or it twists and gapes after washing.
- Single or reversible
- Decide before the first sample. A reversible is its own pattern with both layers cut and joined together, not a single layer with a lining added.
- Numbers on a reversible
- The number for each face and its height. Each layer is printed before assembly, so the two numbers must be placed at the same point front and back.
- Number method
- Sublimated, screen printed, heat transfer or tackle twill. Twill stitched through two layers would show on the other face, so it belongs on single layer shirts.
- Side panels
- Panel shape from armhole to hem, its mesh type and colour, and whether it carries print.
- Shorts in the set
- Fabric, inseam and colour of the matching shorts, so jersey and shorts are approved together under one light.
Tests and certificates for basketball jerseys
- ISO 105-X12
- On a reversible the dark layer rubs the light one with every move, so a weak dry or wet rubbing grade shows as staining on the inner face.
- ISO 105-C06
- Two contrasting layers go through every wash together for the life of the shirt, so read the staining grade onto the lighter layer.
- ISO 5077
- Measured after ISO 6330 washing procedures. If the two layers of a reversible shrink by different amounts the shirt bubbles, so test both fabrics before cutting.
What moves the price of a basketball jersey
- Build: a reversible roughly doubles the fabric and adds the operations that join the layers.
- Number method: tackle twill is cut and stitched digit by digit, while sublimated numbers add little.
- Side panels: each contrast panel adds cutting, a seam and a shade match.
- Binding: knitted rib binding costs more than self fabric but keeps the armhole in shape.
- Sets: matching shorts add a second garment, a second fabric and paired packing.
Lead time for basketball jerseys
A single layer jersey samples within the usual 7 to 14 days. A reversible often needs a second sample round, because the layers, bindings and number positions rarely settle in one. Basketball kit bulk follows 30 to 60 days after the signed PP sample, and tackle twill numbers add sewing days. Each quote confirms the dates for the build you choose.
What we check on basketball jerseys before shipment
- Binding catches both layersOn reversibles the neck and armhole bindings are checked all round for any point where one layer has slipped out of the seam.
- Numbers on both facesNumbers on each face are measured from the neck point, so neither shows through the mesh off centre from the other.
- Armhole twistArmholes are checked flat and on a form for twisted or gaping binding, the first fault a deep sleeveless cut shows.
- Tackle twill edgesStitched numbers are checked for an even zigzag on every edge, with no lifting corners or puckered mesh underneath.
Questions buyers ask about basketball jerseys
How much more does a reversible basketball jersey cost?
There is no fixed figure, but expect close to double the fabric, extra joining operations and a longer sample round. Ask both factories to price single layer and reversible together, and the difference shows on one sheet before you commit to either.
Tackle twill or sublimated numbers?
Sublimated numbers cost little, weigh nothing and cannot peel, and they suit full colour designs and reversibles. Tackle twill gives a raised, classic look on a single layer shirt but adds weight, cost and sewing per digit. Some programmes sublimate practice kit and use twill on game shirts.
Can players take different jersey and shorts sizes?
Yes. List each player's jersey size and shorts size separately, since they are graded as two garments. The sets are then paired and packed by player or by size, whichever you specify on the order. A single list per player, rather than separate totals, stops sets being mismatched at packing.
Can a reversible carry names as well as numbers?
Yes. The name is printed on each layer before assembly, in the same position on both faces. Check the list carefully before printing, because a misspelt name means remaking a two layer shirt, not reprinting one panel. Names usually share one font and height on both faces.
