Our last test was design . I scrutinized every line of the design , such as where lines connected , colors blended , and how the design was laid out on the jersey . The sample jersey design I picked out was Russian themed design . The lines and pieces of the design matched with the overall design . The print itself on the jersey was high quality and matched with the type of material used .
Overall the jersey is high quality with flexible customization and options . Their price point for the jerseys , design fee and delivery times is pretty much on the same level with 90 % of the other custom jersey companies .
Our third test was color fastness . I had already tested the jersey ’ s contact / friction for the material but also looked at the colors after the rough treatment . I found nothing on inspection after the field test . After one wash I checked the design and print for defects . I found no bleeding or fading of the design colors . Each line in the detailed design was sharp . There was no bleeding of colors onto others . I had included a white dishtowel in the load of laundry that contained the jersey to see if the jersey print would release a bit color in the wash that would discolor other items . Both the jersey and the dishtowel were the same color coming out of the washer as they went in . The hot pink , fuchsias and light pinks in the jersey retained their colors .
