Textile Marking for Sports Clubs: From Order to Locker Room
Ordering jerseys, t-shirts or sweatshirts for your sports club is often more complex than it looks. How many pieces? Which textile marking technique? How fast? What budget? This guide walks you through the process from decision to delivery.
Which marking technique for sportswear?
DTF — the best value-for-money option for clubs
DTF (Direct to Film) transfer has become the reference technique for sportswear marking. It reproduces complex visuals — crests, multicolour logos, bordered numbers — on small or large runs alike. Each piece can be individualised (jersey number, name) at no major extra cost.
Football, judo and equestrian clubs from across Dordogne regularly trust us with their jersey orders.
Embroidery — for presentation garments
Embroidery is the go-to choice when you want a premium finish on formal pieces: presentation hoodies, jackets, caps, sports bags. An embroidered sweatshirt will outlast a transfer washed every match day throughout the sporting season.
Small runs — possible from 1 piece
At MARKAGENIE, there is no minimum order quantity. You order what you need — one piece, ten pieces, a hundred pieces.

Frequently asked questions
Can we have jerseys with different numbers and names for each player?
Yes. Individual customisation (number + name) is available in both DTF and embroidery. Simply provide the player list with numbers and sizes.
Which fabric should we choose for football or rugby jerseys?
For sportswear, technical polyester is recommended (lightweight, moisture-wicking, quick-drying). DTF bonds very well to polyester.
Our club is in Dordogne — can we collect the order from your workshop?
Yes, workshop collection is available and often faster for urgent orders. Contact us to arrange a time slot.
