One of the newest dye sublimation appliqué designs from Dalco Athletic is called 8 Bit. This concept features a team name and sport in a retro-style typeface with gradient color providing a three-dimensional look.
This appliqué is ideal for any type of spiritwear or team traveling jerseys, jackets, or sports bags. It measures roughly 4 1/2 inches by 10 inches.
There are four simple steps for creating this design.
1. Choose a team name, or word, e.g., Bulldogs
2. Pick a foreground color. It will be done as a gradient.
3. Pick your background color.
4. Choose a sport, e.g., basketball.
These appliqués are made of 100% polyester twill and feature the long-lasting bold colors achievable with the dye sublimation process. The minimum is 10 pieces with additional orders in increments of five pieces thereafter.
It comes with an EasyStitch™ sew file for sewing it down, or it can be backed with a permanent heat-applied adhesive. It’s ideal for sweat shirts, T-shirts, jackets, etc. for sew-on application. It can be permanently heat applied to sweat shirts, 100% cotton or 50/50 T-shirts, and 100% polyester, but not mesh materials.
