Training jackets, presentation jackets and training tops
We make four kinds of team top layer, all from 10 pieces per design:
- Training jacket (also called a warm-up or track jacket): the full-zip knitted jacket players train and warm up in.
- Presentation jacket (also called a walkout or anthem jacket): the jacket the team wears walking out, on the bench, travelling and at events. Knitted to match a tracksuit, or woven for a lighter, sharper look.
- Pre-match top: the top worn for warm-ups and line-ups before kick-off, usually fully sublimated polyester knit.
- Quarter-zip training top (also called a 1/4-zip or drill top): a long-sleeve knitted training top with a short zip at the neck.

Full sublimation on training jackets
Yes, a polyester knitted training jacket can be fully sublimated. The usual method is to print the design onto white fabric first, then cut and sew the jacket. Woven and coated shells are decorated with embroidery, heat transfer or screen print instead.
| Fabric | Full sublimation? | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 100% polyester double-knit | Yes — first choice | Confirm the fabric is sublimation-grade and approve a colour strike-off first |
| Polyester-spandex knit | Yes | Check stretch recovery, size and hand feel after the high-temperature press |
| Poly-cotton blend knit | Not for bright, even sublimation | The cotton does not take the same dye, so colours look pale or heathered |
| Dark ready-dyed fabric | Not for any all-over design | Sublimation has no white ink, so the base colour shows through the artwork |
All-over print does not mean the pattern runs perfectly across every seam. Pattern matching at the shoulders, armholes and side seams has to be designed in from the start. Zippers, rib collars and rib cuffs are separate components: confirm their colours separately, because they are not printed with the main fabric.

What is the difference between a training jacket and a presentation jacket?
A training jacket is the knitted full-zip jacket players train and warm up in. A presentation jacket, also called a walkout or anthem jacket, is worn walking out, on the bench, travelling and at events. It can be knitted to match a tracksuit (200–280 g/m²) or woven in polyester or nylon for a lighter or more structured look (70–180 g/m², shell only).
Can a training jacket be fully sublimated?
Yes, if it is a polyester knit. We print the design on white fabric, then cut and sew. Poly-cotton blends and dark ready-dyed fabrics do not give bright, even all-over prints, and zippers and rib trims are coloured separately.
