What is tackle twill?
These are the fabric material used for creating your team names
and numbers. Unlike screen print, this material makes your
teams jerseys stand out and will still look brand new way after
your season ends. They come in shiny and matte varieties
depending on the look you want to achieve. Our designers will
suggest which material would look best for your uniform. Making
and preparing tackle twill letterings is one of the most important
processes that our production team has mastered. Each fabric is
starched and dried stiff as preparation for the laying of your
team’s letter and number patterns. The letter pattern is then
carefully traced on the fabric and cut piece per piece by our letter
artisans. When all letters have been cut, they are then positioned
on each jersey and embroidered in our high-speed machine by
our skilled embroiderers. Most parts of this process are made by
hand so it takes longer than screen printing, but we believe and
all our customers agree that it’s all worth-it!
