FiddySicks Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 That Cobbs jersey looks fantastic. Great job on it.What did you use to print the numbers that you pressed onto the twill? Was it those typical iron-on transfer sheets that you use in your own printer and put onto your own T-shirts? This method looks intriguing and the reason I ask is because me and my friends are starting our own softball team in the spring and we're getting our own jerseys, but we're looking for a cost-effective way of making the names and numbers to put on the backs that is removable. (We're not using our own names either.) I'm also curious how well they hold up after a laundry cleaning.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Yeah just to elaborate more:First off thanks for the compliments on the jersey!Secondly to your question:I know on t-shirts and cotton/poly fabric they wash up well AS LONG AS the first time you ever wash it you do so seperately and turned inside-out.There will be SLIGHT fading but only slight and then it will wear well from then on.As far as the tackle-twill goes,I have always done this to make "patches" and the labels for my jerseys but have not seen many post-wash results.The ones I have seen were ones I made for my nephew,which has mixed results.Some of them held their color nicely on the tackle-twill,while some did not HOWEVER I am almost certain that is due to my nephew wearing his jerseys constantly and my sister having to wash them almost constantly as well.You said you wanted something removable?Did you mean so that they can be removed for future seasons and replaced with other numbers?Tackle-twill would facilitate thisalthough the twill I use has a heat-seal backing.I use my heat press to apply them to the jerseys and then from there they are sewn down.I hope this info helps and if you have any more questions feel free to ask. i still dont get it. i mean do you use those iron on transfers you buy at staples that are like 30 cents a sheet or are they more expensive higher quality iorn ons, or do you use a screen printing machine? i iorned the SB logo on a red bucs jersey a few years back but it turned out mostly red, so how do you do colors? its just, man, that jersey you did is awesome! i spend so much on jerseys as it is, that id LOVE to be able to make my own so i can have that awesome custom feel, and so i can save some money. i feel that if i made something that sweet, with that much effort put into it, id never wantr to sell something like that On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

sacker12 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'm not trying to be smart, but have you ever tried on the twill to get the seamstress to sew around the color area inside the twill plate to really give it that sewn-on look? Just asking because that is how it is done on the Swingman jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbman21 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'm not quite sure I understand that last question Sacker.Also Bucfan,the ones I get are made by Avery and they are available at Wal-Mart for $8 for 6 and $14 for 12.They are made for WHITE fabric only.They also make transfers just for colored shirts that only come 5 to a package and are $10 for the 5.Also an iron can do the trick,but the best results are achieved using a heat-press,which is what I use.Also Sacker,the Swingman jerseys only have the outer edge of the tackle-twill sewn down.What appears to be "stitching" is actually faux screened-on stitches for the inner outline colors.

DGivens87 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Robb, great work on the Cedric Cobb jersey. I know I always ask you if you can make a jersey for me, but if you could do the same kinda white Pats jersey, except with Deion Branch's name and number, that'd be great. I know there was some concern about the NFL cracking down on "non-licensed" jerseys, so I understand the risk that may be involved in doing this, if you not willing to do it.

DGivens87 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Actually, better yet Robb, just in case you do have concerns producing these jerseys for other people, do you think you could just make the Deion Branch numbers and letters, ship them to me, and I'll apply them to a jersey myself, so that way no one can get in trouble. Name the price and I'll paypal you the money.thanks bro A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

Roger Clemente Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Thanks for the reply. My purpose is to just sew them on and not heat-press them down so we can remove the numbers at the end of the season. We'll probably press the letters onto a namebar.Is it possible to dye twill? I'm thinking that if we use just one color letters, we could just dye the letters instead if it was possible.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

robbman21 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hey Rog, I'm pretty sure you could dye the white twill any color you wanted,and I'm almost also sure you could bleach colored twill white....if you would want to go to that much trouble.Sewing the twill numbers on without pressing them on first is very do-able,any decent seamstress can align them and then pin them into place and then you're set.The same seamstress can pull the threads no problem when you want to replace the numbers,and then you'd never know it ever had another number on it.What I was asking was would some of the coloring from the screen printing from the numbers and letters on the jersey fade when it has been washed for the first time?That's the one thing I'm worried about,is that they will fade slightly when washed for the first time That's why I tried this first on a jersey for myself so in case it faded then I would'nt have to replace a jersey I did for someone else.My other option is using the "Cad-cut" transfers to do them,which would be maybe a little more costly BUT the results would be permanently vivid and fading would not be a problem.I may make another jersey for myself in this way to see how it turns out and post the results here when it's done.

sacker12 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 If I were to use a retro font, for example the retro Cowboys font, for a jersey and I wanted the CAD-cut transfers, would it be considered a custom font? If so, how much extra would I have to pay for the transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 i've got an old puma jevon kearse titans jersey, that the numbers are starting to peel off of...so i have a few questions...1) is it illegal to get a non NFL entity to stitch some new numbers onto my liscensed jersey? 2) how much would it cost to get you to stich some new numbers onto my jersey?i've actually got 2 titans kearse jerseys.. if i could get new numbers on one of them (still 90, just on top of the peeling ones), and maybe get a STARKS nameplate, with new 90's on the other, i'd be a happy young man..... or maybe odom 98, since the 8 would cover up the 0....i think this is safe to ask, since it's not unliscensed... it's just some old replicas i'd like to have refirbished..

DGivens87 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ok...if ANYONE, not just Robbman, can make me some "swingman-ish" blue Patriots numbers to sew onto a White Patriots jersey, it would be much appreciated. It seems like I'm kinda being ignored, but I'm willing to pay US Dollars for it, I promise. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

sacker12 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 how much is a heat press? A heat press, at least one like the press here at Troy, would cost several hundred dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
