01 — In short
How does an American football jersey fit over pads?
The jersey is cut wide at the shoulders and short in the body, with stretch panels at the shoulders and sides, so it pulls tight over shoulder pads and stays tucked in.

03 — Choosing the fabric
Match fabrics compared.
The fabric decides how a kit feels, breathes and takes a print. These are the knits used most for team kits.
| Fabric | Typical weight | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester interlock | 130–170 GSM | Smooth face. The best surface for sharp sublimation. |
| Birdseye mesh | 120–160 GSM | Small holes for airflow. A classic football shirt fabric. |
| Dazzle | 140–180 GSM | Shiny, tight knit. Typical for basketball and US sports. |
| Air-knit mesh | 180–240 GSM | Heavier, open knit. Used for ice hockey jerseys. |
| Polyester–elastane | 180–260 GSM | Stretch for fitted cuts: rugby, volleyball, handball. |
These are polyester or polyester blends, so they can be sublimated edge to edge.

What fabric is best for football jerseys?
A polyester mesh body with stretch shoulder panels is the most common: it breathes, survives contact and stays tight over pads.
Can you make practice jerseys?
Yes. Practice jerseys are usually plain mesh in team colours, with or without numbers.
Do clubs in Europe use the same jerseys?
Yes, the jersey build is the same. Numbers and colours follow your federation rules, which go on your spec sheet.
