The production of professional esports equipment requires compliance with strict standards of industrial ergonomics. Uniforms for multi-hour tournaments should provide maximum moisture removal, maintain the geometry of the sublimation print and eliminate chafing at the seams. In this technological guide, Vykroyka.com.ua experts examine in detail the stages of cutting, assembly and WTO of a high-tech team uniform.

Technological analysis of the production cycle
The esports jersey is created from specialized polyester microfiber (Coolmax / DryFit) with a density of 130-160 g/m². The material has high elasticity and hydrophobic properties, which imposes special requirements on the grinding process.
Key stages of cutting and sublimation printing
The cutting of parts is carried out taking into account the combination of a complex graphic print along the side seams and yokes. Sublimation thermal transfer is carried out at a temperature of 190–205°C until the final assembly of the product.
Assembly on industrial machines: flat chain seams
For stitching parts, 4-thread overlockers with differential and flat-stitch machines (flatlock) with textured untwisted threads are used. This creates an ultra-flat and soft seam that does not injure the player's skin during intense movements.
Balance control and wet heat treatment (WHT)
Intermediate and final WTO is carried out on Teflon soles at a temperature not exceeding 130°C with minimal steam pressure to eliminate lasing and thermal compression of synthetics.
Knitting Technologist Council
The precision of the pairing of the raglan sleeve and the neckline on the eSports uniform determines the freedom of the shoulder girdle. Always allow for exact allowances for specific equipment.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which needles should I use when sewing sports jersey?
Use only 65-75 Super Stretch or Jersey needles with a round point to avoid damaging the elastane microfilaments.
How to avoid seams pulling on synthetic knitwear?
Loosen the needle thread tension and adjust the differential feed to light landing (value 1.1–1.2).
