Εμπειρογνώμονες
Dr. Emily Carter (Sportswear Scientist):
“Multiple controlled studies have shown that synthetic fabrics consistently outperform cotton in moisture management, ελαστικότητα, and recovery. Cotton absorbs sweat and becomes heavy, reducing athlete agility, while polyester performance knits transport moisture away from the skin, helping players stay lighter and more comfortable.
Color choice further magnifies these effects: athletes wearing red or black jerseys not only feel more dominant but are also perceived as more aggressive by opponents and referees, which can subtly influence match outcomes.”
Robert Ng (Technical Consultant):
“Sublimation technology has changed the landscape of Football Jerseys. By embedding dye directly into the fibers rather than coating the surface, sublimation ensures jerseys remain lightweight, αναπνεύσιμος, and vibrant season after season.
Unlike screen prints that peel and crack, sublimated jerseys maintain sponsor visibility and team branding even under tough conditions—crucial for both on-pitch performance και off-pitch marketing value. Many professional and semi-professional clubs have now switched entirely to sublimated jerseys for these reasons.”

With sustainability trends rising, recycled polyester is also becoming a decisive factor in procurement.”
