Custom Basketball Uniform Manufacturers — 120–300 GSM, AQL 2.5, 4-Point Fabric Check

Start at 50 sets — sample across 6 court-ready fabrics first, so you don't bet a season on a big first order. Sublimated colour holds Grade 4–5 on the AATCC 61 wash test and name/number placement stays within ±2mm.

Every kit ships with per-batch lab reports (AATCC TM195 moisture, ASTM D3787 burst, ASTM D5034 breaking strength) and a 4-point fabric check — standard build runs 3–4 weeks from sample sign-off.

Fabric & GSM

Fabric, graded by the gram.

GSM decides how a basketball uniform feels, breathes and plays. Six court-ready constructions, weighed per roll (ASTM D3776 / ISO 3801); colourfastness, wicking and burst strength tested per batch and reported with the order.

Moisture-Wicking Mesh fabric swatch

Moisture-Wicking Mesh

120–160 GSM

Open micro-mesh moves heat off the body and capillary yarns spread sweat for faster evaporation.

Best for: Hot-weather game tops, back and side vent panels, and lightweight practice shorts.

Not a fully opaque basketball uniform — use interlock where a white panel must not show through.

GSM per rollMoisture wicking (AATCC TM195)
Quick-Dry Micro Polyester fabric swatch

Quick-Dry Micro Polyester

130–170 GSM

Micro-denier yarn dries faster than a standard knit, so a basketball uniform top is ready again between halves and sessions.

Best for: Warm-weather leagues, training kits, and back-of-jersey venting.

A lighter build — not for cold-weather or contact-heavy use.

GSM per rollMoisture wicking (AATCC TM195)
Recycled Polyester Jersey fabric swatch

Recycled Polyester Jersey

140–180 GSM

A jersey knit from recycled fibre that keeps the wicking and durability of a virgin blend.

Best for: Private-label sustainability lines and basketball club kits that market recycled content.

Recycled fibre with wicking and durability close to a virgin blend — for sustainability lines.

GSM per rollColourfastness to laundering, grade 4–5 (AATCC 61)
Polyester-Spandex Interlock fabric swatch

Polyester-Spandex Interlock

180–220 GSM

Dense double-knit interlock with spandex gives a smooth, opaque face both sides — no print show-through on reversible basketball uniforms.

Best for: Competition game kits, side panels, and reversible uniform sets.

The opaque choice — use it where a white panel must not show the print on the other side.

GSM per rollBursting strength (ASTM D3787)
Four-Way Stretch Performance fabric swatch

Four-Way Stretch Performance

190–240 GSM

Four-way stretch knit recovers to shape under the cuts and pivots of the game and holds sublimation colour bright on a basketball uniform.

Best for: Compression base layers, cutting-fit jerseys, and movement-heavy panels.

A compression fit — size up if you want a relaxed game cut.

GSM per rollFabric breaking strength (ASTM D5034)
Heavy-Duty Double Knit fabric swatch

Heavy-Duty Double Knit

220–300 GSM

The heaviest construction in the range, built for contact drills and winter sideline wear where a lighter basketball uniform mesh won't hold up.

Best for: Warm-up jackets, winter kits, and training wear.

The heaviest build — best for warm-ups, winter wear and contact-heavy training.

GSM tolerance

At order, a target weight is locked inside the range (say Mesh at 140 GSM). ±5% is applied to that target, not the whole range — so two shipped rolls don't feel like two different fabrics.

Colourfastness

Dark team colours on full-bleed sublimation can transfer. We test laundering (AATCC 61, target grade 4–5) and crocking (AATCC 8) per batch; a perspiration test (AATCC 15) is added on request.

Moisture wicking

A fabric that drinks sweat is fine; one that never dries is a liability. We run AATCC TM195 moisture-management lab tests per batch, not vendor claims, on the wicking knits.

Customization Services

The job sheet your kit is built on.

Private label / OEM is how we work with you — brand orders can take the full basketball uniform set, team orders pick what they need from the job sheet. Below is the job sheet for each order: a decision you check off and sign before a single yard is cut.

01Per placement, not as a slogan

Print Method

  • Full-bleed team graphics; gradient art → dye sublimation
  • Chest crest or small logo → embroidery, or screen print
  • Small dark names & numbers → heat transfer
02Assigned from the six constructions above by default

Panel Mapping

  • Body, mesh inserts, waistband and linings default to the six constructions shown above
  • Other knits from the library are approved separately and written into the job sheet
  • Locked on the job sheet so the jersey and short are spec'd as one kit, not two separate fabrics
03Not just a size range

Sizing & Grading

  • XS–4XL as a base block
  • Men's, women's and youth split into separate grade blocks on request
  • Whole-team one size chart, or per-player size adjustment
  • A fit sample for large orders or a new size chart; standard sizes can go straight to bulk
04Reference → swatch → sign-off

Colour Matching

  • Reference colour (Pantone Coated, or a physical sample)
  • Paper / fabric swatch colour-match against the reference
  • Sign off before any print run
05Real per-order choices

Fit & Construction

  • Pro-fit, varsity or relaxed
  • Round, V or Y-neck; short or long sleeve
  • Side-seam inserts, armhole, hem finish
06The basketball hard requirement

Names, Numbers & Roster

  • Printed with the jersey → sublimation; added after or dark replacements → heat transfer; tackle twill needs a dense enough face
  • Each player's set filed by Player ID
07What a private-label order checks off

Labels & Packaging

  • Woven neck label, heat-transfer label, or screen label
  • Hang tag, size sticker, care label
  • Polybag, carton marks and barcode labelling
08So a reorder needs no re-sampling

Kit Composition & Archive

  • Jersey + short + warm-up spec'd on one colour recipe
  • RIP file, dyestuff, pattern number and Player ID archived together

After-Sales Service

The order is delivered. This is what still holds.

A basketball uniform is a two-way deal, not a one-off shipment. Here's what stands after the box is opened — the replacement rule, the reorder path, and how a defect is actually resolved.

Mid-Season Replacement

Every player's name and number set is filed by Player ID. A torn basketball uniform or a lost warm-up ships with the exact same lettering — no re-sampling, no close match, no waiting on the whole cycle.

Reorder Without Re-Sampling

If fabric, colour and pattern are unchanged, the reorder runs off the archived RIP file, dyestuff and pattern number. It comes back the same shade and the same shape — no new sample, no drift.

When a Spec Changes

A different size split, a tweaked colour or a new neckline is a change of spec, not a stock SKU. It goes back through the job sheet before the line runs — so you know exactly what you get.

How a Defect Is Resolved

AQL 2.5 caps Major defects and Critical is zero-tolerance. If anything is flagged, the lot is rejected or reworked — the disposition and the retest are documented, not smoothed over.

Sample Credits

Pre-production sample cost is credited back against the full basketball uniform order. The sample is a commitment, not a fee you eat.

Mid-Season Rush

Need a replacement inside the season? Rush production is available by arrangement — the archive means a single garment doesn't need the whole process repeated.

The lab reports and AQL inspection from your shipment are preserved in the batch file — so if a question comes up three months in, the evidence is still there to answer it.

Log a mid-season replacement or a reorder against your Player ID / order number and it routes against the archived file — not a fresh job.

Testimonials

From brand founders and league coordinators who speced it right.

"

Our first order was 300 sets in a brand color nobody could match — a deep red that every other factory turned into a muddy brown the moment it hit white mesh. I'd been burned twice already, so I wasn't expecting much.

What came back looked dyed into the fiber. Shrinkage came in under 1.5%, the AATCC 61 wash test hit grade 4–5, and the burst test on the interlock read well above our 40 lbf floor. I'd asked for those numbers in writing for months and never got them.

The reorder a season later is what sealed it. Same 300 sets, same shade, same panels, zero re-sampling — they kept the RIP file and dye recipe locked from day one. When a kit comes back identical a year later without anyone asking a question, the supplier stops being a worry.

Running a league with 40 teams means 40 sets of colors, names, numbers and sizes. Our old supplier drifted the digits a few millimeters off on half the order — the team photos looked sloppy and players swapped jerseys at the whistle.

LeelineWork holds name/number placement to ±2mm and files every player's set by player ID. That paid off fast: a guard split his jersey mid-season and the replacement shipped with the exact same lettering, straight to his door — no re-sampling, no close match.

One order at the 100-set tier and they held the stock at the factory, so the league started on time with zero dead stock in a storage unit. For a league our size, that's the difference between running a uniform program and babysitting one.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they order.

If your question isn't here, our RFQ desk responds within 24 hours — no sales pitch, just specs.

A 50-set first run is enough. That's not a slogan — it's the bottom of the ladder, so the season isn't bet on an order too big to sell.

Order 50 to 200 sets and sample across the fabric range, approve fit and colour, then scale. Each tier unlocks more: per-player dropshipping and a reserved production line from 300 sets, and the numbers keep improving at 1,000.

Test the market at a low first order; once the spec is locked, reorders have no minimum at all.

Six graded options, from 120 to 300 GSM. Choose by the job, not by habit.

120–160 GSM mesh is the competition jersey — light, high airflow, low drag. 180–220 GSM poly-spandex interlock reads more opaque and works for premium kits and side panels. 220–300 GSM heavy-duty double knit is the cold-weather and warm-up build. Recycled (140–180) and four-way stretch (190–240) cover sustainability and compression.

Pick one weight and the whole squad grades off a single spec — each roll held to ±5% GSM so nothing fits differently than expected.

Nothing ships on a guess. Colours are fixed at 190–210°C for 30–60 seconds, and the fabric is pre-shrunk with the warp and weft scaled 0.5–1.5% so panels don't pull at the seams.

Colourfastness is lab-tested to AATCC 61 (target Grade 4–5) and crocking to AATCC 8 (≥ Grade 4 wet and dry) per batch. Name/number placement is held to ±2mm.

You get a kit that stays the same shade through a full season — no mid-season bleed, no brown-out on the numbers.

One kit, spec'd as one. The jersey, short and warm-up are built on a single colour recipe and a single job sheet, so they match panel to panel.

You can also mix a reversible set on interlock — two faces, one garment — graded off one size chart. You don't coordinate two separate fabric orders, and you don't end up with a mismatch between tops and bottoms.

The benefit: a kit that looks intentional on the court, and one supplier to hold accountable for colour and fit.

The evidence ships with the box. Every order carries a 4-point fabric inspection record on incoming rolls, a pre-shipment AQL 2.5 report (Critical at zero-tolerance), and per-batch lab results — AATCC TM195 moisture, ASTM D3787 burst, ASTM D5034 breaking strength.

Production is sampled to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, and every report names the test, date and roll lot.

That is an auditable file a buyer or inspector can work from — not a supplier's word that it passed.

Standard build (off-the-shelf fabric, set sizes) runs 3–4 weeks from sample sign-off; full-custom build runs 5–7 weeks, and the busy season around Nov–Mar adds 1–2 weeks.

Reorders skip the sampling gates entirely — the spec, dye recipe and RIP file are archived, so a reorder runs faster and comes back identical. A single mid-season replacement ships with the exact same lettering because every player's set is filed by Player ID.

A torn jersey doesn't restart the whole process, and there's no fresh sample to wait on for each replacement.
